SUPERFLEX. There Are Other Fish In The Sea
From 14 April to 2 August 2026, Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and Fondazione Hillary Merkus Recordati present There Are Other Fish In The Sea, a new site-specific installation for the Courtyard of Palazzo Strozzi by SUPERFLEX, the internationally recognised Danish collective known for works and long-term projects that rethink the role of art in relation to the social, economic, and environmental dynamics of our time. The installation is produced in collaboration with Kunsthal Spritten, Aalborg, Denmark that will host the work in a renewed version at its grand opening in 2027.
Curated by Arturo Galansino, Director General of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, the installation will establish a suggestive and unexpected dialogue with the Renaissance architecture of the courtyard. Anticipating a future in which rising sea levels will irreversibly alter human life, the work introduces a form of “interspecies architecture” that invites visitors to imagine new modes of coexistence between human and non-human beings. Marking sixty years since the devastating 1966 flood in Florence, the courtyard becomes the point of departure for prompting a shift in perspective on our relationship with the environment, questioning the traditional centrality assigned to humans.
Developed specifically for Palazzo Strozzi, the installation is part of Palazzo Strozzi Future Art, a programme by Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and Fondazione Hillary Merkus Recordati dedicated to fostering interventions by contemporary artists who generate new connections between past and future.
SUPERFLEX. There Are Other Fish In The Sea is promoted and organised by Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and Fondazione Hillary Merkus Recordati. In collaboration with Kunsthal Spritten, Aalborg, Denmark. Special Partner: Fondazione Henraux.
