Elmgreen & Dragset

Powerless Structures, Fig. 101, February 2012 to April 2013 A golden bronze boy, 4.1 meters tall, astride a rocking horse. The Danish-Norwegian duo pitched it as a counterpart to the square's equestrian statues: in place of a king or general frozen mid-victory, a child playing at being one, on a horse that rocks and goes nowhere. It was the first time the plinth got its equestrian statue, of a sort, and it gently deflated the whole idea of the mounted hero. It is now at the Arken Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
