Background CHART was created in 2013 with the vision of strengthening the role of the Nordic countries in the international art market. Through creative alliances across art, design, gastronomy, music, architecture and business, CHART has distinguished itself as an important international platform for art in the Nordic region. The grand exhibition spaces of Charlottenborg Kunsthal allow us to present art as it should be seen, breaking the convention of art fair booths, providing a welcoming platform for exhibiting and viewing art within the Nordic region. CHART offers something more; an ambitious international talks and performance program, solo shows and curated projects, innovative pop-up food stalls and a grand opening party with DJ s and live bands set within the unique courtyard of the baroque Charlottenborg Palace, all brought together through the collective support of the exhibiting galleries.
Special Projects CHART is far from being a traditional art fair, we strive to create a variety of activities and experiences open to all. These special projects, as mentioned previously is achieved through partnerships with creative alliances accross different expertise. To open the fair we hold a Grand Opening Party showcasing an array of Danish and International bands and DJs. Throughout the weekend there is a scheduled performance and talks programme. 2014 saw performances from artists such as Matthew Stone and Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen and talks held by Olafur Eliasson, Elmgreen & Dragset and Keith Tyson amoung others. Bjarke Ingels and Jeppe Hein participated in our student architecture competition whereby 7 teams of young architects and designers built a number of innovative stalls which presented some of Copenhagen s gastronomic spearheads; L Esprit du Vin, Ché Fé, Altelier September, Restaurant Pluto, Søren K and Condesa Bar & Spiseri. Aside from the exhibiting galleries we also show a number of special works, Bjørn Nørgaard, Olafur Eliasson and Lawrence Weiner have all contributed pieces in previous years.
