MELLEMRUMMET, NY CARLSBERGVEJ 68, COPENHAGEN

We are pleased to present Superflex's project Palestinian Eurovision in our exhibition space Mellemrummet.

The exhibition presents four banners with painted logos developed for the campaign for Palestines participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. The project represents a collaborative effort initiated in 2008 between Superflex, The Palestinian Broadcast Corporation (PBC) and Sabreen Association for Artistic Development. The ambition is for Palestine to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest and become a active member of the European Broadcast Union (EBU). The motivation behind the project is a wish to build a media infrastructure in Palestine and to contribute to the Eurovision Song Contest tradition of creating positive cultural experience in participating.

The logos have been designed in collaboration with graphic designer Rasmus Koch.

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.
