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

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.
