Our new work Transition (2026) renders the Oval Office at near full scale in Cor-Ten steel. Functioning simultaneously as a sculpture and an architectural entity, Transition invites viewers to inhabit a space synonymous with political authority but now emptied of its symbols and iconography - reduced to pure volume, material, and weight. In many ways this work is a continuation of our series Powerless Structures. Transition is clearly in dialogue with Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses and and by the way it is cut in two halves also with Gordon Matta-Clark. (And as a duo we like mirroring objects:) Similar to Serra’s large-scale ellipses, this sculpture examines how a physical structure can trigger a bodily disorientation, and, in its direct reference to the Oval Office, the interplay of physical experience and collective cultural memory add to this disorientation. The work nods to Matta-Clark’s architectural “cuttings,” in which the artist cut through the walls and floors of buildings to transform private space into public spectacle. In our Oval Office, currently showing at Pace New York, everyone is welcome!

Today, Numéro art explores Les Fous d’En Face, a new exhibition by renowned artistic duo Elmgreen & Dragset @elmgreenanddragsetstudio at @galeriemaxhetzler presented across the gallery’s two Paris spaces.
The iconic duo previously appeared on the cover of @numeroart 2.
Bringing together three new installations, the exhibition explores the boundaries between the familiar and the extraordinary, the absurd and the everyday. Through hyperrealistic sculpture, recontextualised objects and ready-mades, the artists transform ordinary situations into enigmatic scenes, leaving viewers to piece together the stories unfolding before them.
From a solitary young boxer standing in an empty ring to an oversized clown nose and a monumental figure strapped to the roof of a vintage Fiat 500, each installation plays with humour, scale and uncertainty. Drawing on personal memories and fragments of their own histories, the duo construct open-ended narratives in which the viewer becomes an essential part of the story.
On view until December 16, 2026, at Galerie Max Hetzler, 46 & 57 rue du Temple, Paris.

What an incredible inauguration of Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden, redesigned by Hiroshi Sugimoto, in the company of so many brilliant artist colleagues, museum people, gallerists and supporters of art in public space. 🫶🏻🙏🏼🫶🏻🙏🏼

This Saturday, October 31, Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum (@hirshhorn) will open its revitalized Sculpture Garden, featuring the monumental new sculpture "Eight" (2026) by Elmgreen & Dragset (@elmgreenanddragsetstudio).
Commissioned for the Sculpture Garden, “Eight” extends the artists’ decades-long exploration of the pool motif. “For us, swimming pools can be synonymous with public access, togetherness and community—like the Hirshhorn,” Elmgreen & Dragset said. “‘Eight’ appears empty, yes, but ready to be filled by the imaginations of visitors."
Following the opening in Washington, D.C, Elmgreen & Dragset will debut one of their most ambitious projects to date at #PaceNewYork on Thursday, November 5.

How to Become an Artist, 2026
Our new installation How to Become an Artist, presents a red-gloved, young skinny boxer in a full-scale
boxing ring. Lit by a circular spotlight, as if he were a solo actor on a theatre stage, he leans on the ring ropes in a state of exhaustion. His opponent is nowhere to be seen. The hyperrealistic figure offers a depiction of Michael as a young man, instilling the scene with a personal dimension. Presented in this light, the lonely, weary boxer calls into question what kind of fight he might have had and with whom, if any counterpart at all. (Where is Ingar?)
In the exhibition Les fous d’en face at Galerie Max Hetzler in Paris we have been looking back to the time we met, 30 plus years ago.

Installation done! In The Optimist, a large, red sphere is centrally
positioned on the white gallery wall at Galerie Max Hetzler Paris. The monochrome, minimalist structure is in fact an oversized replica of a clown nose, cast in steel. Undercut by an audio clip of applause emanating from
an old radio, the white wall becomes the colossal face of a clown. Since the 1990s we have used the white cube as a sculptural element, not least in our ‘Powerless
Structures’ series and works like Dug Down Gallery and 12 Hours of White Paint. However, this work also interweaves an element of self-portraiture: Ingar,
before becoming a visual artist, attended The Commedia School in Copenhagen in the early ’90s,
where clown studies were a formative part of the curriculum.
The exhibition “Les fous d’en face” is now open!

UPCOMING: Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce ‘Les Fous d’En Face’, a new exhibition by Elmgreen & Dragset, opening in our Paris gallery on 19 October.
Translating to ‘The Fools on the Other Side’, the exhibition presents three new installations which build on some of the central elements in Elmgreen & Dragset’s practice, from absurdist humour and spatial subversion to open-ended narratives. The exhibition is in part underpinned by reflections on the artists’ own pasts. Through displacement, the objects on display draw attention to agencies embedded in situations and memories that both define the extraordinary and the familiar, the extreme and the mundane.

Pool “Eight” got installed in Washington DC in September, in time for the grand opening of the redesigned Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden at the end of this month. A big thank you to the countless people that have been involved in planning and realizing this piece over the past four years and getting it smoothly into place.

Elmgreen & Dragset sind bekannt dafür, alltägliche Situationen oder vertraute Formen in neue, ungewohnte, manchmal irritierende Kontexte zu überführen – und genau das geschieht in dieser Arbeit. Camouflaged, Fig. 8 setzt sich auf subtile Art und Weise mit Fragen von Erwartungen, Sichtbarkeit und Wahrnehmung auseinander und sie erfordert ein genaues Hinsehen.
Von Weitem mag es wie ein vertrautes Verkehrsschild aussehen, bei näherer Betrachtung erkennt man, dass den beiden Schildern die Funktion entzogen wurde, da sie keine Information, kein Verbot oder Hinweis weitergeben. Sie spiegeln lediglich ihre Umgebung. Dieser Prozess macht spielerisch bewusst, wie selektiv Wahrnehmung und Erkennen funktionieren und wie leicht etwas übersehen werden kann.

Elmgreen & Dragset are known for placing everyday situations or familiar forms into new, unfamiliar, and sometimes unsettling contexts – and that is precisely what happens in this work. Camouflaged, Fig. 8, subtly explores questions of expectations, visibility and perception, and requires the viewer to look closely.
From a distance, it may look like a familiar road sign, but on closer inspection, one realises that the two signs have been stripped of their function, as they convey no information, prohibition or instruction. They merely reflect their surroundings. This process playfully highlights how selectively perception and recognition work, and how easily something can be overlooked.

Das Künstlerduo Elmgreen & Dragset schafft seit rund drei Jahrzehnten Kunstwerke, die das vermeintlich Normale infrage stellen. Die Ideale und eingefahrenen Systeme der Kunstwelt konfrontieren die beiden seit jeher mit Witz und Feingefühl. Dabei richten sie ihren Blick immer wieder auch auf gesellschaftliche Konflikte. So stellt die Arbeit „Boy with Bird“ Fragen zu Geschlechterrollen und Emotionalität.
Exklusiv für Monopol erscheint die Skulptur nun als Bronze-Edition. Jetzt bestellen unter 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀@𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹-𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻.𝗱𝗲

* A frozen moment *
Where is this traveller headed? A solitary figure, carrying a rucksack and sleeping mat, walks through a snow-covered landscape where the boundary between sky and earth seems to disappear. Where the traveller has come from, and where they are going, is left open. Perhaps they are searching for new perspectives.
Let your mind drift away with this dreamlike landscape in the collection exhibition 'Stillness in the Storm', now on display at Voorlinden. Get your tickets via tickets.voorlinden.nl (link in bio).

A treasure hunt in the museum 🥕🥦 From a child drawing on the floor in front of „Goethe in the Roman Campagna“ to a sculpture that blocks our view of a painting: Elmgreen & Dragset’s artworks disrupt the traditional museum experience and give us the opportunity to reflect on our own viewing habits and our position as visitors. Find out more about the art that transforms the Städel Museum into a fascinating interplay between reality and illusion in the new exhibition film for the exhibition “Elmgreen & Dragset. Stillleben mit Gemüse”.
.
The special exhibition “Elmgreen & Dragset. Stillleben mit Gemüse” is on display at the Städel Museum until 17 January 2027. More information and tickets 👉️ link in bio
