SUPERFLEX
Hypnosis Group Session

May 20 – June 26, 2010
MELLEMRUMMET, NY CARLSBERGVEJ 68, COPENHAGEN

On occasion of Superflex’s exhibition Free Sol Lewitt at the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven, NL, we are currently showing their silkscreen prints from the Hypnosis Group Session series in our exhibition space Mellemrummet.

The prints are symbols of events that will take place in the future, and the works act as tickets for the event as described on the individual print. The events are hypnosis sessions in which the climate changes will be experienced in the eyes of an animal. Each event will have 5 participants. The years selected are milestones in global climate change agreements between various parties, such as G8, UN, and EU, and the sites are all in some level related to the topic of climate change.

Artist Biography
SUPERFLEX

Established in 1993 by Bjørnstjerne Reuter Christiansen (b. 1969), Jakob Fenger (b. 1968), and Rasmus Nielsen (b. 1969).

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

SUPERFLEX is an expanding collective of humans and non-humans working with an expanding idea of art. SUPERFLEX wants to apply the agency of the artist to all beings, by all mediums necessary. SUPERFLEX 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.

Originally founded in 1993, SUPERFLEX studio is today composed of members from very diverse backgrounds. As an expanding collective, SUPERFLEX 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, SUPERFLEX has 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.
