The group of Danish artists 
known as Superflex (Bjørnstjerne Christiansen *1969, Jacob Fenger *1968, Rasmus Nielsen *1969)
has been working on projects, actions, and installations dealing with alternative economic perspectives since the early 1990s. Guided by social demands for sustainability, participation, and self-organization, their so-called “tools” are set up as open-ended scenarios, which include their audience as an active component of the work. For the exhibtion, they use a Deutsche Bank investment and financial center as a stage, where a film called “Ebberød Bank” will be shown on a monitor in the hall. The 1943 Danish family comedy is about a small businessman who tries to revolutionize his profession by turning the loan business upside down. With this film, Superflex addresses the bank’s usual customers as well as the exhibition visitors – who are often one and the same – and thus refers to the traditional middle-class net work of economic and cultural capital as a constitutive institutional practice.
