The Centre Pompidou-Metz is pleased to present Bonne Chance, the first solo exhibition in a French institution by the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset. For this extensive show, curated by Chiara Parisi, the artists will drastically transform the Grand Nef, the Forum and roof top gallery. This is the first time that the museum has given over the immense Grand Nef gallery space to a solo exhibition. 

Accordingly, at the Centre Pompidou-Metz, the duo will bring together both existing and recent sculptures in site-specific constellations, thereby setting the stage for new narratives to unfold. These installations will replicate common urban settings that most of us come across regularly in our daily lives, but rarely in a museum context. The environments appear mostly desolate, with occasional life-like silicone figures engaged in various activities. As the visitors wander through these spaces, they are invited to piece together various clues and imagine what might have happened or what is about to happen here.
