In their sprawling exhibition 'Stillleben mit Gemüse / Still Life with Vegetables', Elmgreen & Dragset direct and shift the viewer's gaze, bringing everyday, easily overlooked moments into focus, transforming them into poetic scenes imbued with both critique and humor. Through their thoughtful presentation, the artist duo raise pressing questions about social structures and behavioral patterns rooted in conventions and institutional routines in an accessible rather than didactic manner. They also explore how museums shape our perception of art history, subtly subverting traditional forms of presentation and experimenting with the rules of exhibition design.
On view at the Städel Museum until January 17, 2027.
