The Well Fair
It may all be a set-up, but The Well Fair by Elmgreen and Dragset could easily pass as an actual fair, had you not known what you were getting into already. The UCCA’s Great Hall divided into evenly spaced rectangular booths; trademark lighting hanging from them; artworks everywhere you look, waiting to be put in a place as if the event hasn’t begun yet (or has just ended); security guards and receptionists (aka the museum personnel) at your service; a VIP lounge, a cafe area, a reception desk, an auction house area (even!) and a publications booth. It is all there, posing as a proper art trading platform that, however, features only one artist, or, in this case two. A selection of nearly one hundred Elmgreen and Dragset pieces, created over the past twenty years, is the only one there – containing wrapped, half-installed, crated, or artworks simply leaned against the walls.
