Ny Carlsbergfondet has made a donation of contemporary danish art to the Residence of the Danish Consul General in New York to represent Danish culture, creativity and art, a decorative commission called Art at the Residence.
SUPERFLEX' It Is Not The End Of The World (2019) is a part of this commission. It draws inspiration from the familiar neon signs of urban landscapes. The phrase presented by the artist group is both cryptic and recognizable. It is often used to provide encouragement or show care. However, in SUPERFLEX’s work, the context is more dystopian – it references the climate crisis and the potential downfall of humanity. The piece invites viewers to reflect on humanity’s role in the climate crisis and consider how the world might fare in the future – perhaps without us.
