SUPERFLEX


SUPERFLEX will create a new marine landmark set along the coastal area of Haukipudas. The Danish artist group brings their significant long-term collaboration with marine biologists and scientists to produce a new sculpture which, if submerged through rising sea levels, would foster marine biodiversity. Developed in conversation with local fishermen, the work encourages the public to slow down.

Bio

SUPERFLEX, founded in 1993 by Jakob Fenger, Bjørnstjerne Christiansen, and Rasmus Rosengren Nielsen, works as an expanded collective collaborating with a wide range of specialists. Their projects explore alternative social and economic models through sculptures, energy systems, public spaces, and infrastructure. 

Since their award-winning Superkilen (2011), SUPERFLEX has engaged in major public projects, including Super Metro in Copenhagen and One Two Three Swing! in multiple locations around the world. Other projects include Venice Biennale Arte 2024: Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, The Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial, and The Fly at Albarrán Bourdais, Madrid. 

SUPERFLEX prioritises participation, integrating input from communities, specialists, and even other species to develop a new urbanism, that envisions a future of interspecies living. For SUPERFLEX, the best idea might come from a fish.
