Curated by Molly Nesbit, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rirkrit Tiravanija /Supercopy/Guarana Power 04.2003 ONE MONTH RESEARCH IN AMAZON, BRAZIL. Superflex had been invited by NIFCA, a São Paolo-based foundation called Extra Arte and the Amazonian government to undertake a research residency based in the town of Maués. Maués is in the central Amazon and, with a population of around 20,000, is the capital of the region of the same name, but the 100km journey from Manaus, the nearest city (famous to Europeans for its opera house, as seen in Herzog’s ‘Fitzcarraldo’, but best known in Brazil as an economic ‘free-zone’, its huge industrial parks home to firms like Toshiba, Samsung, or Benetton and the banks of the Amazon piled high with shipping containers marked for Tokyo or Hamburg), is possible only by taking a small plane or spending 22 hours on a riverboat. Maués is known in Brazil as the home of guaraná, a fruit whose caffeine-packed seeds are a luxury health-food product in Europe but in Brazil form the basis of some the country’s most popular soft drinks. /Supercopy/Guarana Power 01.2003 SOCIAL PUDDING / Rirkrit Tiravanija and SUPERFLEX. Social Pudding addresses the communities of Leipzig, with dynamic workshops and events focusing on the making and sharing of a plate of pudding. Participants are invited to come to the Pudding Social, to exchange and create their own pudding. Rather than explore a fabric of society, Social Pudding is interested in the pudding of society, the convergence of social, business, personal and everyday activities. The pudding product, a combination of distinct layers, consists of orange and coconut flavours. Social Pudding workshops have previously been held in Thailand.
