Superflex

The Return of Pablo, 2017

Für das dänische Künstlertrio Superflex wurde die Notlage des Bartgeiers – eines nahezu ausgestorbenen Vogels, der vor kurzem über den Les Diablerets-Gipfeln wieder angesiedelt werden konnte – zum Ausgangspunkt für eine Skulptur, die sowohl vorwärts als auch zurück schaut. Pablo, der Vogel, den sie für das Werk bestimmt haben, ist ein direkter Nachkomme desjenigen Geiers, der eine Schildkröte auf den Kopf des griechischen Dichters Aischylos fallen liess und so die Tragödie in die Welt brachte. Die von lokalen Handwerkern gefertigte Skulptur ist ein Totempfahl, auf welchem Geschichte, Mythologie, Ornithologie und Spekulation wie auf einem Spiess aufgereiht sind, und der die Zeitachse von der griechi- schen Tragödie bis zu Les Diablerets, also von Aischylos bis Pablo, abbildet.

SuperflexCV

Art group SUPERFLEX was founded in 1993 by Danish artists Jakob Fenger, Rasmus Nielsen and Bjørnstjerne Christiansen. Renowned for their playful, subversive analysis of our economic and social structures, their oeuvre consists of large-scale installations, films and long-term, process-based projects, all of which are known as ‘tools’. Seeing their work as something to be actively put to use, the tools are designed to affect or influence their social and economic context, often inviting participation from the visitor. Superflex’s work continues to confront issues of copyright, intellectual property and trademark infringement.
