From 31 March 2022 Fondazione Prada presents “Useless Bodies?”, an exhibition by the artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset taking place in Milan. “Useless Bodies?” is one of the most ambitious thematic investigations realized by Fondazione Prada to date. Conceived for four gallery spaces and the courtyard of its Milan venue, the exhibition explores the present condition of the body in the post-industrial age in which it seems that our physical presence is losing its centrality or is even completely superfluous. This shift impacts every aspect of our lives: from our working conditions to our health, our interpersonal relationships, and the way we retain information. The Fondazione Prada spaces will then host a series of immersive installations investigating the perception of the body, a central theme in Elmgreen & Dragset’s research.
