Elmgreen & Dragset’s work is presented in Stillleben mit Gemüse, a solo exhibition at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main. Two immersive installations by the artists, alongside sculptures and interventions, will radiate throughout the entire building and into the neighbouring Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, creating a series of almost-surreal constellations which place visitors at the centre of an immersive visual experience. By redirecting visitors’ gazes, Elmgreen & Dragset draw attention to moments that are easily overlooked, creating poetic scenes imbued with equal measures of scepticism and humour.

Richard Prince’s work is shown in dialogue with that of Arthur Jafa in Helter Skelter: Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince at Fondazione Prada, Venice. The exhibition, curated by Nancy Spector, showcases the work of two artists born a decade apart, who share an ethos of lawlessness when it comes to the appropriation and manipulation of images. Trafficking heavily in American popular culture, Prince and Jafa expose its grit and grift, while embracing many of its myths and perversions.
