Elmgreen & Dragset: Stillleben mit Gemüse
Elmgreen & Dragset: Stillleben mit Gemüse turns Frankfurt’s Städel Museum into a field of small disruptions. The artist duo places sculptures and installations across the building, from the Contemporary Art Collection into the historic galleries and onward to the neighboring Liebieghaus, setting their works into strange conversation with more than 700 years of art history.
The exhibition works almost like a treasure hunt, with figures and scenes appearing in unexpected corners, often with the dry humor that runs through Elmgreen & Dragset’s practice. Their interventions shift the usual museum rhythm, bringing attention to display conventions, social behavior, and the spaces between artworks. Familiar rooms begin to feel newly staged, as if the institution itself has become part of the story.
