All art demands something of you. These 10 works called for our sweat, tears and fears - no art gallery needed
Scandinavian artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset hoped to ridicule consumerism by setting up a Prada store in the remote Chihuahua desert near Texas in 2005, displaying luxury in one of the poorest areas of the US.
