■ Introduction of Exhibition

Elmgreen & Dragset’s solo exhibition Overheated transforms Massimo De Carlo’s third-floor gallery in Hong Kong into a different setting: an abandoned, underground boiler room. Continuing the artist duo’s practice of altering art spaces into other kinds of environments, Elmgreen & Dragset once again turn the white cube into a location not normally frequented by fine art audiences. Industrial tubes of various sizes and colors crisscross throughout the space, re-directing the visitors’ movements into new patterns as they will have to step over, bend under, or walk around the large tubes in order to navigate the site. The materiality of this installation makes visitors aware of their bodily presence in relation to the architecture.
