SUPERFLEX 'One Two Three Swing!' at Vordingborg Vandhus⁠⠀

SUPERFLEX is proud to announce that One Two Three Swing! is opening in Vordingborg Vandhus in Denmark. On August 20th, the first ever permanent public installation of the swings will be open to the public in the town of Vordingborg. The location is particularly special as it is the hometown of SUPERFLEX members Bjørnstjerne Christiansen and Rasmus Nielsen. The project will contribute to the municipality of Vordingborg’s vision of enriching local cultural life.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
One Two Three Swing! invites its users to activate the potential of collective movement. The swings will be located at the front of the building and continue in the back, suggesting a rippling of social momentum throughout Vordingborg Vandhus. While expanding into the greater community, the work connects to its other iterations around the world thus activating the public space as one of collective play, action, and energy.⁠⠀
