About this title

Synopsis

SUPERFLEX (Jakob Fenger, Rasmus Nielsen, Bjørnstjerne Christiansen) es un grupo de artistas que opera en campos de acción social para afectar las estructuras de poder que definen el actual sistema económico hipercapitalista, un sistema económico inestable impulsado por la especulación y la corrupción. Al relacionarse con la maquinaria bruta de este sistema, SUPERFLEX sugiere posibilidades para su transformación radical a través de obras que llama “herramientas”. Esta publicación brinda una descripción detallada de las obras de SUPERFLEX, que ellos describen como “herramientas” de trabajo, destinadas para el uso de los ciudadanos, un ensayo escrito por Patrick Charpenel y Daniel McClean, así como una sección dedicada a la reflexión (especulación) de temas políticos y sociales relevantes en el contexto de la globalización económica.
