SUPERFLEX
Palestinian Eurovision

January 13 – March 3, 2012
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

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.
