A SCANDINAVIAN art collective has unveiled its latest large-scale showcase piece, with a little help from an Essex flooring firm.

AMR Flooring, based in Bluebridge Industrial Estate, Halstead, was invited to work with Danish trio Superflex on their latest installation which is in the Turbine Hall at London’s world-renowned Tate Modern gallery.

The firm installed the brightly coloured flush carpet, which sits below a giant pendulum in one section of the hall.

The carpet is coloured the same shades as British bank notes, with the political artists saying the pendulum represents apathy in a world “hypnotised by global capitalism”.

Emma Brown, who runs AMR Flooring with husband, Simon, said: “Simon has worked in flooring for 30 years and works in both domestic and commercial settings, but specialises in bespoke flooring.

“He has worked all around the world in the past and has worked on many large projects but working on this project has been by far the highlight of his career to date, made special by the unique relationship he developed with the Tate Modern and the artist.”

Made up of Bjornstjerne Christiansen, Jakob Fenger and Rasmus Nielsen, Superflex are known for their huge commissions including Superkilen, an eclectic public park in Copenhagen, and Hospital Equipment, a functioning operating theatre created as part of a Swiss exhibition.

Mrs Brown said: “The exhibition itself is amazing and at the press event many people were commenting on just how special the carpet is within this exhibition. It’s a must go and see.

“I am super proud of Simon. He worked so hard on this project, has some amazing guys that worked with him and he really deserves all the recognition he is getting from it.”

The company was given the opportunity to work on the project thanks to long-time collaborators Ege Carpets.
