    The Financial crisis (Session I–IV)

    October 30 – December 19, 2009
    Ny Carlsberg vej 68, Copenhagen

    SUPERFLEX will take you deeper and deeper into the financial crisis …

     

    The Financial crisis (Session I–IV) is a new film work in which Superflex address the financial crisis and meltdown from a therapeutic perspective. You will be guided through your worst nightmares to reveal the crisis without as the psychosis within. 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

    SUPERFLEX was founded in 1993 by Jakob Fenger, Bjørnstjerne Christiansen, and Rasmus Rosengren Nielsen. Conceived as an expanded collective, SUPERFLEX has consistently worked with a wide variety of collaborators, from gardeners to engineers to audience members. Engaging with alternative models for the creation of social and economic organisation, works have taken the form of energy systems, beverages, sculptures, copies, hypnosis sessions, infrastructure, paintings, plant nurseries, contracts, and public spaces.

    Working in and outside the physical location of the exhibition space, SUPERFLEX has been engaged in major public space projects since their award-winning Superkilen opened in 2011. These projects often involve participation, involving the input of local communities, specialists, and children. Taking the idea of collaboration even further, recent works have involved soliciting the participation of other species. SUPERFLEX has been developing a new kind of urbanism that includes the perspectives of plants and animals, aiming to move society towards interspecies living. For SUPERFLEX, the best idea might come from a fish.
