SUPERFLEX's installation at Peter Blum Gallery in Chelsea (NYC) includes 24 banners painted with logos of banks that were declared bankrupt and were acquired by other banks, governments or private entities. Originally designed to convey strength, authority and confidence, these now defunct symbols become portraits of failed power structures.
By placing defunct corporate logos on banners, SUPERFLEX parallels the meaning of these symbols with the messages of national flags that allude to a past success.
Will you use symbols of the past to create an updated national flag and address current issues?
