Based in Copenhagen, the Danish artists Bjørnstjerne Reuter Christiansen (born 1969), Jakob Fenger (born 1968) and Rasmus Nielsen (born 1969) have been producing work collaboratively as SUPERFLEX since 1993. SUPERFLEX's practice lies somewhere between art, industrial design and engineering. Their work often involves gathering information about existing social needs, putting forth solutions, and designing new technologies. SUPERFLEX uses the art world as a site to develop problem-solving projects, which aim to contribute to more widespread social empowerment. SUPERFLEX works within, and outside of, traditional art contexts. The group collaborates with architects, designers, engineers, businesses, and marketers on tools, which have the potential for social or economic change. Besides many other public art projects the group has done the series Power Toilets. In each case, an exact copy of a lavatory originating from a powerful institution is placed in the public domain for public use. Recently the artists have engaged in urban planning with projects such as Superkilen and The Bank and won several competitions and awards together with architects. SUPERFLEX has gained international recognition for their projects with solo exhibitions, among others, at the Kunsthalle Basel, the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt am Main, the Mori Museum in Tokyo, and the Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garten in Los Angeles. The group has participated in international arts biennials, such as the Gwangju -Biennial in Korea, the Istanbul Biennial, São Paulo Biennial, Shanghai Biennial, and in the Utopia Station exhibition at the Venice Biennale. Further more SUPERFLEX’ works are represented in several public art institutions, such as MoMA, New York; Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; FRAC - Nord-Pas de Calais, Dunkerque; Coleccion Jumex in Mexico City; Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam; Musac - Museo de Arte Contem SUPERFLEX has recently presented solo exhibitions and projects at Tate Modern Turbine Hall Commission (2017), Kwassa Kwassa, Pérez Art Museum Miami (2016),Euphoria Now - von Bartha, Basel, Switzerland (2015), The Science Museum, London (2010), Sprengel Museum, Hannover (2010), Hirschhorn Museum, Washington DC (2010), San Art, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (2010), I301PE, Los Angeles, CA (2010), Vitenfabrikken, Sandnes, Norway (2010), Miriam and Ira D.
