We are sitting in the Café of the National Gallery in London looking through the windows at a spectacular sculpture of a young boy overlooking the Trafalgar Square, the new work by the Scandinavian Duo Elmgreen (Denmark)
and Dragset (Norway). The work is a part of the prestigious Fourth Plinth project launched in 1998 by the City of London: every 2 years a contemporary artist chosen by the jury fi lls the empty old plinth on the square with a new art work, which stands between other classical statues of famous men led by the Admiral Nelson. Elmgreen & Dragset challenged that expectation by placing on the plinth a bronze sculpture of a beautiful golden boy on his rocking horse.
