Description

The critically acclaimed Danish artist group Superflex, founded in 1993 by Jakob Fenger (born 1968), Bjørnstjerne Christiansen (born 1969) and Rasmus Nielsen (born 1969), create humorous and playfully subversive installations and films that deal with financial crisis, corruption, migration and the possible consequences of global warming; they often root their projects in particular local situations, inviting the participation of viewers. This catalog accompanies the group’s first major museum survey in the United States and highlights video, sculpture and installation works relevant to the history, present and future of cities such as Miami, poised on the leading edge of pressing issues such as climate change and immigration. We Are All in the Same Boat includes an introduction by the exhibition‘s curator, Jacob Fabricius, Artistic Director of Kunsthal Aarhus, essays by Stephanie Wakefield and Gean Moreno and George Yudice, plus a fictional text about water, flooding and the future of Miami by science fiction writer Mark von Schlegell.
