SUPERFLEX are a part of the long running exhibition 'Being Human' at the Wellcome Collection, London, UK with their work 'Flooded McDonald' (2009)
'Flooded McDonald's is a short film work in which a convincing life-size replica of a McDonald's burger bar gradually floods with water. Furniture is lifted up by the water, trays of food and drinks start to float around, electrics short circuit and eventually the space is completely submerged. The film is devoid of exaggerated disaster-film drama and intentionally resists categorisation as a documentary or as an art film. Flooded McDonald's hints at the consumer-driven power and influence and impotence of large multinational companies in the face of climate change, questioning with whom ultimate responsibility lies. Flooded McDonalds was first exhibited at South London Gallery in 2009.' - SUPERFLEX
The exhibition runs from 05.09.2019 - 30.09.2021

SUPERFLEX are participatng in the exhibition 'Unquiet Harmony: The Subject of Displacement' at Sheldon Museum of Art, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE, USA with their video work 'Kwassa Kwassa' (2015)
'Kwassa Kwassa is a film work by SUPERFLEX portraying the construction of a boat on the island of Anjouan, in the Comoro archipelago between Madagasgar and Mozambique. Although usually used for fishing, boats like the one built in the film are in many cases also used for transporting migrants to the neighbouring island of Mayotte, a French oversea territory and the outermost region of the EU. The islands are 70 km apart – separated by a seemingly short, but life-threatening journey that has claimed more than 10,000 lives of women, men and children. Kwassa Kwassa interprets the boat as a contextual construction intended to carry migrants on a dangerous, politically complex journey. Carrying more than symbolic meaning as a vessel for dreams of reaching a better life on the other shore, the boat is also a labor-intensive work of craftsmanship and the physical passage bearing human lives to safety – as the title questions in translation “an unstable boat” from the language of the Comoro Islands.' - SUPERFLEX
The exhibition will run from 09.08.2019 - 31.12.2019

Superflex is a part of the group exhibition 'The Return of Guests: Selections from the PSA Collection' at the Power Station of Art, Shanghai, China with their work 'Pigs, Time and Space' (2016).
'Pigs, Time and Space is a film installation that addresses the exchange of pigs between Denmark and China. With a pig as the main protagonist Pigs, Time and Spaceis set in a dream-like universe unfolding the highlights of a historical loop from I Ching, the ancient Book on Divination, to the Schjellerup crater on the moon.
In January 2013 a Boing 747 landed in Nanjing, provincial capital of Jiangsu, with 650 pigs as its passengers. The pigs were transported from Denmark to China to give the Chinese some of the ‘Pink Gold of Denmark’ to breed on. However, this was not the first time an exchange of pigs took place between China and Denmark. Around 150 years ago the Danish pigs were not fat enough for making sausages and bacon, and relied on the help of a group of full fat Chinese pigs for breeding. Historically this group of Chinese pigs actually created the genetic base for today’s Danish world famous pig production.
In Pigs, Time and Space a native Chinese voice tells the tale of migration and identities through ancient mythology and historic events intertwined with the experience of the Pig, voiced by a Danish accented narrator.' - SUPERFLEX
The exhibition runs from 20.09.2019 - 08.03.2020
