MAKE HAPPY MEAL GREAT AGAINAn ironic and heartfelt tribute to lost innocence in consumer culture — and to the belief that art might still save us, one Happy Meal at a time.In a world running on overload — war, algorithms, and artificial intelligence endlessly questioning what makes us human — we seek comfort in what feels familiar.We look back to the icons of childhood, to the small rituals of joy, to the simple tokens of innocence: a toy in a cardboard box.When McDonald’s launched the Happy Meal in 1979, it became the ultimate pop icon of childhood comfort — a promise of joy, packaged with fries. The first Danish restaurant opened on Vesterbrogade in 1981, but for many the fascination began earlier, just south of the border. Artpusher remembers cycling nearly 60 kilometres from Sønderjylland to Flensburg as a teenager, just to get his first Happy Meal.As an adult, the taste for the food has disappeared — but not for the toys. For years, Artpusher and his children have painted and reinterpreted Happy Meal figures, transforming them into small handcrafted manifestos of human imagination in an automated world.MAKE HAPPY MEAL GREAT AGAIN celebrates that childlike joy — slightly forgotten in an age where every morning’s headline feels insane, and social feeds overflow with polarised fake news, born in troll factories somewhere in St. Petersburg.in a near future where everything can be generated to perfection and mass‑produced with a single prompt, the unique, the odd and the imperfect will become absurdly valuable.The artist won’t be out of work until the machine can bleed, sweat, cry — and fuck up,” Artpusher.The exhibition features works by Britta & Søren, Christian Tangø, Frank Tomozy, Jan Klein, Martin Martensen‑Larsen, Michael Morild, Peter V. Nielsen & Skinyskimask.Presented at Artpusher Gallery, Copenhagen, in August–September, the show unites original works, installations, and re‑imagined objets trouvés at the crossroads of pop culture, nostalgia, and contemporary critique.
