Elmgreen &amp; Dragset's constructed environments have been celebrated all over the world for their mischievous, cerebral, and accessible nature. This is the first comprehensive presentation of the duo's work, from their early performative pieces in the late 1990s to their most recent public projects
Drawing from disciplines as divergent as institutional critique, social politics, performance, design, and architecture, Elmgreen &amp; Dragset's work reconfigure the familiar with characteristic and subversive wit. Their sculptures and installations, also known as 'Powerless Structures', have redefined what it means to experience art - the cover features their work Van Gogh's Ear, a sculpture in the form of a swimming pool, which is located on Fifth Avenue in New York at the entrance to the Rockefeller Center.
This book includes all of their most significant projects, from the transformation of New York's Bohen Foundation into a subway station in 2004, to the siting of a fake Prada boutique in the Texan desert in 2005, and the installation of the statue of a child on a rocking horse on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2012.
Elmgreen &amp; Dragset is the latest addition to the acclaimed Phaidon Contemporary Artists Series.

Pipilotti Rist makes art to "encourage the mind, guarantee a detached view of social changes and conjure up positive energies." Like certain of her predecessors, such as Frederic Bruly Bouabre, Yayoi Kusama and Yoko Ono, Rist's inventive use of video technology alters our perception of space, our connection to objects and our response to representation. Rist has developed the flexible and spontaneous camera techniques of 1970s and 1980s video to strengthen the interdependence of video and viewing space, pressing the limits of video installation to reach into the viewer's personal own terrain. Rist defines the video image as having a "lousy, nervous, inner-world quality," on which she capitalizes to provoke the viewer and blend the skins of people, screens and surfaces. Wishing for Synchronicity accompanies this Swiss artist's first major U.S. survey, gathering work from the mid-80s onward. Richly illustrated, it features approximately 120 color reproductions, a videography, exhibition history and bibliography. It also focuses lesser-known works, including the audio-video sculptures "Hello, Good Day (Kiss Mouth)" (1995) , "Heilung" (2004), the large audio-video installations "Related Legs (Yokohama Dandelions)" (2001), "Super Subjective" (2001) and "Apple Tree Innocent on Diamond Hill" (2003). With essays dedicated to "feminine" imagery, recent trends in visual culture and the influence of pop music on the visual arts, this monograph offers unprecedented insight into Rist's oeuvre.
