艺术家Elmgreen 和 Dragset
在今年的威尼斯双年展上，丹麦与挪威两国将合作举办一场名为“收藏家”（The Collectors）的展览。“收藏家”由来自两国的艺术家Elmgreen和Dragset共同策划并搬上展台。
在24位国家艺术家及艺术家团体的支持下，Elmgreen 和 Dragset将丹麦及挪威馆变成一处私人住所，而观众则将扮演客人的角色。走进展馆，饭厅，卧室，家具，壁炉，玻璃天窗，以及各种散落于家具中间的艺术品，将向观众揭示这想象中的房屋主人一家的离奇故事，他们的强烈性格及各种生活方式。
观众将边听房地产公司介绍房屋原主人的家庭故事，边参观“在售”的丹麦国家馆。而在相邻的挪威馆，观众不仅能看到来自神秘的Mr. B.的当代艺术作品和设计品，还能看到他收藏的各任情人的泳衣。正如展览名称“收藏家”所揭示的那样，此次展览主题与收藏有关，而隐藏在用展示具体物件来表现自己的行为后面的心理也是主题之一。
这一展览相对于传统意义上的艺术展出来说更像是一个电影场景。策展人的目的在于创造一种与其策划的展出非常亲近的感觉，他们同时希望避开对传统增加竞争力手段的运用。
参加此次丹麦挪威展的艺术家人数超过二十，知名艺术家与新兴艺术家均有。他们是：
Thora Dolven Balke, Massimo Bartolini, Hernan Bas, Guillaume Bijl, Maurizio Cattelan, Elmgreen & Dragset, Pepe Espaliú, Tom of Finland, Simon Fujiwara, Han & Him, Laura Horelli, Martin Jacobson, William E. Jones, Terence Koh, Jani Leinonen, Klara Lidén, Jonathan Monk, Nico Muhly, Norway Says, Henrik Olesen, Nina Saunders, Vibeke Slyngstad, Sturtevant and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Artist Duo Elmgreen & Dragset Stage the Danish and Nordic Pavilions for La Biennale di Venezia
The public will be guided on a tour by a real estate agent through a “For Sale” Danish Pavilion, and will be told the story of the family dramas that used to haunt this house. The neighboring Nordic Pavilion has been turned into a flamboyant bachelor’s pad. Here the audience will experience not only the collection of contemporary artworks and design from the mysterious Mr. B., but also his collection of ex-lovers’ used swimwear. As the title ‘The Collectors’ indicates, the exhibition will approach the topic of collecting, and the psychology behind the practice of expressing oneself through physical objects.
More than twenty artists and designers of all ages, ranging from established to emerging ones, will contribute to creating a different kind of exhibition format: One that will appear closer to a film set than a conventional art display. The curators aim to create a feeling of intimacy with their staged exhibition – one that counters the official spectacle and formal nature of the Biennale – and, in close collaboration with the participating artists and designers, they hope to circumvent the usual competitive aspects of the larger art event.
The Artists:
The artists and designers included in the exhibition are: Thora Dolven Balke, Massimo Bartolini, Hernan Bas, Guillaume Bijl, Maurizio Cattelan, Elmgreen & Dragset, Pepe Espaliú, Tom of Finland, Simon Fujiwara, Han & Him, Laura Horelli, Martin Jacobson, William E. Jones, Terence Koh, Jani Leinonen, Klara Lidén, Jonathan Monk, Nico Muhly, Norway Says, Henrik Olesen, Nina Saunders, Vibeke Slyngstad, Sturtevant and Wolfgang Tillmans.
