In 4 sessions you will experience the fascination of speculation and power, fear, anxieties and frustration of loosing control, experiencing loss and personal disaster.

     

    Throughout the Superflex show you will experience crisis and financial turmoil but finally you will be feeling fresh, comfortable and happy! The Financial crisis (Session I–IV) has been created for Frieze Films and was broadcast on Channel 4, UK from October 12 – 15th .

     

    This is Superflex’s first solo show in Denmark in 10 years. From large-scale installations through long-term process-based projects, public art commissions, urban planning projects to, more recently, films Superflex’s work is founded in an economic and political awareness. They create works inspired by the points where definitions and possibilities of art become blurred and within which there is a potential for change in our perception of society.

    SUPERFLEX

    Founded, 1993 by Bjørnstjerne Reuter Christiansen (b. 1969), Jakob Fenger (b. 1968), & Rasmus Nielsen (b. 1969). 

    Based in Copenhagen, DK

     

    SUPERFLEX is an expanding collective of humans and non-humans working with an expanding idea of art, seeking  to apply the agency of the artist to all beings, by all mediums necessary. They practice practices art as a human activity aiming to embrace non-human perspectives and move society towards interspecies thinking and living, beyond the end of the world as we know it.

     

    SUPERFLEX studio is today composed of members from very diverse backgrounds. As an expanding collective, they facilitates and urges the collaboration of others, bringing participation to the extreme. For SUPERFLEX, the best idea might come from a fish. In a 30 year span, they have made energy systems challenging the powers that be, paintings portraying a hallucinatory economy, toilets as structures of power, sculptures as fish penthouses, three-seater swings to celebrate collectivity, beverages to refresh the idea of self-organisation, lamps igniting the discussion of copyright and contracts to explore the possibilities of prohibition. Artworks emerged as open-source beer, hypnosis sessions, plant nurseries and tapestries. Media has followed ideas.
