Elmgreen & Dragset's READ

During my visit to Prague, I had a chance to attend an exhibition by Elmgreen & Dragset in Kunsthalle Praha. Highly recommended!
The artist duo have transformed the gallery into a curious public library. Titled READ, their exhibition celebrates Prague’s literary heritage, and brings together works by international artists.

For their first major exhibition in Czech Republic, Elmgreen & Dragset present their own work alongside artworks by 60 artists, many of these works have been selected from Kunsthalle Praha’s Collection, while other artists have been personally invited by the duo to participate.
Once you enter the gallery, you will find yourself in a contemporary public library. The exhibition focuses on the historic and enduring relevance of books, and questions modern-day role of books and knowledge in the age of digital media. Moreover, it questions whether we able to “read the signs,” “read a situation,” or “read the room”?
