Hi Daved and all,
I wrote a piece on the economic and entrepreneurial strategies of Superflex
recently, in connection to a discussion of artist entrepreneurs in art in
Sweden (and Denmark).
Superflex have also developed open source projects such as the Free Beer
project.
My chapter is entitled "Blood transfusions and constant critique. The
artist as entrepreneur in the experience economy", and is part of an
interesting research anthology edited by professors Daniel Hjorth and
Monika Kostera called Entrepreurship and the Experience Economy. Published
by CBS Press 2007, should be out by now or any day.
Best,
Katja Lindqvist
