Notes et références

1. Exposition au titre parfois "censuré" car semble-t-il publicitaire d'une marque importante de boissons gazeuses à la guarana partenaire du collectif au Brésil , liens par lesquels une série de sept lettres ou croix "X" juxtaposées suivies de cinq autres identiques -après un espace libre équivalent à celui d'une lettre absente-, vraisemblablement pour les sept lettres du mot "Guaraná" puis les 5 de "Power", avec au moins une fois des bandeaux sombres sur des canettes superposées de ladite boisson photographiées en illustration ; "censure" dont semblera se jouer par la suite le site Internet du trio -accessible via ces renvois cliquables-, en accolant neuf autres "X" croix ou / et lettres peut-être à la place des 9 lettres de son nom "Superflex" (?), pour au moins une de ses expositions / rétrospective(s) ultérieures vers 2013 à Charlottenborg au pays, toujours à trois (« paires de jambes »).
