For the Cork Midsummer Festival 2010, Superflex have made a new artwork TODAY WE DON’T USE THE WORD ‘RECESSION’ that invites citizens of Cork city to participate. Superflex worked with the Lord mayor Cllr. Dara Murphy to bring a proposal to Cork City Council to eliminate the use of the word ‘recession’ throughout the city for one full day. Out of these negotiations Lord Mayor Cllr. Dara Murphy has written a formal Decree on behalf of the people of Cork advocating that for one day, June 17th 2010, that they should refrain from using the word ‘recession’.
