Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, whose work will inaugurate Tate Modern’s new Untitled space, invite you on a historical walking tour of Tate Modern’s building, led by ‘workers formerly employed’ at the building when it was originally Bankside Power Station. The walk will take you beyond the white walls, prepared floors, and high-tech lighting to discover the site’s industrial ghosts. Elmgreen and Dragset have been collaborating since 1995 on a wide range of installations, performances and environmental works which challenge the conventional perception of space. They reorganise architectural and social structures to investigate the underlying desires and mechanisms of control in even the simplest arrangements of walls, ceilings, entrances and exits.
