Superflex Superflex: An Artist with 6 Legs (8788944972)
The first retrospective monograph on internationally acclaimed Danish artist's collective Superflex,
An Artist with 6 Legs catalogues the group's work from 1993 to 2013. The first major museum retrospective for this group--known for their participatory, politically engaged projects which they call 'tools'--is appropriately unconventional, comprised of eight individual retrospectives curated by Eungie Joo, Yuko Hasegawa, Toke Lykkeberg, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl, Adriano Pedrosa, Agust n P rez Rubio, Hilde Teerlinck and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Kunsthal Charlottenborg also signed a contract prohibiting the institution, the artists or the curators from mentioning the group by name during the exhibition's run--hence the replacement of the name 'Superflex' with a black bar or the characters 'XXXXXXX throughout the catalogue.
An Artist with 6 Legs is both conceptual provocation and an essential reference.
