The first retrospective monograph on internationally acclaimed Danish artist's collective Superflex, An Artist with 6 Legs catalogues the group's work from 1993 to 2013. The first major museum retrospective for this group--known for their participatory, politically engaged projects which they call "tools"--is appropriately unconventional, comprised of eight individual retrospectives curated by Eungie Joo, Yuko Hasegawa, Toke Lykkeberg, Daniel McClean and Lisa Rosendahl, Adriano Pedrosa, Agustin Perez Rubio, Hilde Teerlinck and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Kunsthal Charlottenborg also signed a contract prohibiting the institution, the artists or the curators from mentioning the group by name during the exhibition's run--hence the replacement of the name "Superflex" with a black bar or the characters "XXXXXXX throughout the catalogue. An Artist with 6 Legs is both conceptual provocation and an essential reference.

The social world is a big, complicated place! We are all social detectives as we observe, gather, and make sense of the clues within different social contexts (settings, situations, and the people in them) to figure out the hidden rules for expected behaviors. This leads us toward understanding how we each feel and think about others in a situation and how we choose to respond to each other’s actions and reactions. We are good Social Detectives when we use our eyes, ears, hearts, and brains to figure out what others are planning to do next or are presently doing and what they mean by their words and actions. This revised, expanded 2nd edition of the awarding-winning storybook teaches from the social learner’s perspective about the power of observation, reading context, and interpreting clues before choosing how to respond in ways that meet their social goals. A new structured approach to observation, new illustrations reflecting a broader range of inclusion and diversity in characters, practice pages and activities for deeper learning, specific teaching tips, and a glossary of Social Thinking Vocabulary and concepts are just some of the new material you’ll find inside. This is the first book in the Superflex® series. It guides readers on a journey of discovery where they can: · Learn formulas for gathering clues by observing a setting, situation, and people in it · Be empowered to figure out how the social world works through their own detective lens · Learn to identify feelings and emotions and connect them to behaviors · Understand that all feelings are okay, even uncomfortable ones, and we can still learn and grow · Get support from emojis and special word banks · Find core Social Thinking® Vocabulary words highlighted throughout to support and strengthen key learning concepts · Have numerous opportunities to make smart guesses about hidden social rules in various situations · See examples and tips for school, home, and community life · Celebrate how all of us are social observers who are affected by others’ actions and reactions

The critically-acclaimed Danish artist group SUPERFLEX, founded in 1993 by Jakob Fenger (b. 1968), Bjørnstjerne Christiansen (b. 1969), and Rasmus Nielsen (b. 1969), create humorous and playfully subversive installations and films that deal with financial crisis, corruption, migration, and the possible consequences of global warming. The artists describe their practice as the provision of "tools" that affect or influence social or economic contexts, and often root their projects in particular local situations, inviting the participation of viewers. Their work poses questions of political, economic, and environmental behavior and responsibility. This catalogue accompanies the group's first major museum survey in the United States and highlights video, sculpture, and installation works relevant to the history, present, and future of cities like Miami, poised on the leading edge of pressing issues such as climate change and immigration.Co-published by Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College (MOAD), Superflex: We Are All in the Same Boat includes an introduction by the exhibition's curator, Jacob Fabricius, Artistic Director of Kunsthal Aarhus, essays by Stephanie Wakefield and Gean Moreno, and George Yudice, and a fictional text about water, flooding, and the future of Miami by science-fiction writer Mark von Schlegell.EXHIBITIONNovember 15, 2018 - April 21, 2019Museum of Art and Design at Miami Dade College (MOAD), Miami

The social world is a big place, and the information can feel overwhelming at first. This two-set collection of 26 core practical frameworks is a powerhouse of visual teaching tools that includes the most important conceptual and treatment frameworks within the Social Thinking Methodology. Each framework provides a blueprint or visual support related to one specific aspect within the complex social world, in addition to high-level, basic instruction. The collection includes a broad array of frameworks that range from assessing learners’ needs to breaking down social communication, friendship, anxiety management, being with others, and many more to make the implicit explicit for social emotional learning. Core Practical Treatment Frameworks: Set 1 contains our most popular and helpful core tools with two types of frameworks. · Seven conceptual frameworks provide information specifically for interventionists to help them explore the social emotional assessment and treatment needs of specific individuals. These can be used during student study team meetings, IEP meetings, and to guide interventionists’ exploration of individuals’ social emotional development and treatment needs during the assessment process. · Six treatment frameworks help get started teaching core social emotional concepts directly to social learners: exploring emotions, size of the problem, and situation-based social expectations. 7 Conceptual Frameworks · 3 Aspects of Social Learning · The ILAUGH Model of Social Cognition · Social Thinking-Social Learning Tree · Social Thinking-Social Competency Model · Social Thinking Connected Frameworks · Building Blocks for Social Development of Young Children · Group Collaboration, Play and Problem Solving Scale (GPS) for Early Learners 6 Treatment Frameworks · Core Social Thinking Vocabulary · Basic Feelings & Emotions Scale · Size of the Problem and Size of the Reaction Thermometer · Social Emotional Chain Reaction · Social Behavior Map-General Observation (SBM-GO) · Social Behavior Map-GO “Lining Up to Leave the Classroom (Filled-in Template) Each framework has a graphic front and narrative back side. The front side provides a visual framework for use in team meetings with fellow interventionists or for use with students. The back side details the purpose of the framework along with instructions for using the framework, recommended age ranges, examples of how the information can guide teaching to foster development of social competencies, and recommendations for free articles and webinars, connections to other frameworks in the collection, and suggested books, online training courses and livestream events related to the concept. The majority of frameworks were first presented in print products published by Think Social Publishing, Inc., and/or in webinars, articles, On Demand courses, and conference/livestream events that can be found on the Social Thinking website. We strongly urge interventionists to explore these source products for deeper instruction, examples, and learning for using the frameworks in practice.
