5 YEAR PROJECT

In 2017, the artist group SUPERFLEX started a five-year project at Kunsthaus Graz in Austria. During this period, a new artwork has been installed every year. The cycle ended with a comprehensive solo exhibition entitled “Sometimes As A Fog, Sometimes As A Tsunami”.

150 METER TRACK

Bolig-Art created the beautiful curtains for SUPERFLEX’s exhibition and for the artwork “Like A Force Of Nature”. When a decision had been made on the textiles, Stilling was contacted. We then delivered a total of about 150 meters of milled AP 5001 curtain tracks in white, which were suspended by wire in the huge room.

TEXTILES AND THEMES

“Sometimes As A Fog, Sometimes As A Tsunami” consists of visually impressive works, which the spectator can move in between. They show the dizzying nature of the global economy and expand our notions of community. In the exhibition, capitalism appears as a floating force that seeps into all the cracks and corners of the world. The curtain rails and textiles create labyrinths and shapes and spaces, all of which are connected to the theme.

SPECIAL PACKAGING

The curtain tracks were packed to perfection for the journey from Brøndby to Graz.
For the long tracks, we created a lined transportation box, where all profiles were separately marked so that on arrival it was clear how to assemble them.

In addition, we sent a spare-part box fixed in the transport box with velcro. Thus, it remained in the same place during transport to Austria, but was still mobile when all the spare parts had to be assembled.
