SUPERFLEX, Subject of Solo Exhibition SUPERFLEX and Asger Jorn: Superconversation at Museum Jorn, Silkeborg, Denmark
The Danish artist collective SUPERFLEX’s solo exhibition SUPERFLEX and Asger Jorn: Superconversation is currently on view at Museum Jorn in Silkeborg, Denmark. Featuring a total of five works, the exhibition interweaves the works and philosophies of Asger Jorn (1914–1973), Joseph Beuys (1921–1986), Jørn Utzon (1918–2008) and other key artists from the museum's collection with those of the Danish art trio, forming a discourse on the role and future of art institution.

The exhibition features Superconversation (2024), a piece of sound art in which SUPERFLEX has utilized AI text generators and voice replication technology to create a virtual dialogue between nine artists. The work restores the voices of deceased artists to provide new possibilities of museums, bringing to life a dialogue about the intersection between the work of masters and the artists' own practice in a changing world. Also newly presented in this exhibition is Superbrick Factory (2024), a physical representation of a factory in the museum that produces pink, curved, non-calcined earthen bricks called ”Superbricks.” These “Superbricks” are produced on site and utilized to make other sculptures. Following the end of the exhibition, such sculptures made of “Superbricks” will be placed around the museum grounds, where the unheated clay of the non-fired bricks will eventually return to nature over time. This challenges the logic behind institutions’ “continuous preservation” and alludes to the cyclical relationships within the flow of time.

By transcending the boundaries between the past and present, or nature and artificiality, SUPERFLEX presents experimental approaches that suggest new possibilities in art. The exhibition continues through March 2, 2025.
