Galerie Perrotin New York is pleased to present “Past Tomorrow”, a solo exhibition by Elmgreen & Dragset. Continuing the artist duo’s interest in creating new narratives by staging psychologically charged domestic interiors, this installation transforms the gallery space into a densely furnished bedroom.

Norman Swann – the bedroom’s fictional, absent inhabitant – first appeared as the protagonist in Elmgreen & Dragset’s 2013 exhibition “Tomorrow” at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where the artists turned a section of the museum into Mr. Swann’s grand family home. “Past Tomorrow” at Galerie Perrotin New York follows the life of Mr. Swann, an elderly, disillusioned and failed architect, after his inheritance runs out and he is forced to leave his home in London’s South Kensington neighborhood, resettling in a smaller apartment in New York’s Upper East Side.
