The Collective Eye
In conversation with The Collective Eye, Elmgreen & Dragset discuss the romantic idealization of artistic creation, suggest that artists should openly embrace collaborative work, and question the myth of artistic genius. Elmgreen & Dragset lift the curtain on their own creative process and provide insight into their production of the past two decades, realized in collaboration with their studio—or lovingly so-called “family members.” The Collective Eye (TCE) is a project collective whose membership fluctuates. In interviews, symposia, exhibitions, and books for which TCE engages selected partners in dialogue, it seeks to strengthen a multinational dialogue between collectives and theorists grappling with collective creativity and practices in the arts. Its scope transcends boundaries of discipline, encompassing forms of collaboration in the visual and performing arts, in theaters, museums, and the interstices of cultural production.
