CHART

📣 CHART 2026 save the date! Join us as we gather art collectors, art professionals and art enthusiasts alike for the next edition of CHART. Taking place from 27–30 August 2026, with a VIP preview on 27 August, CHART returns to Kunsthal Charlottenborg to celebrate the best of contemporary art in the region 💙 Featuring presentations by leading galleries from across the Nordic countries, CHART 2026 presents a comprehensive look at both the diversity of practices as well as the shared threads that define contemporary art in the region today. The Public Programme at CHART 2026 will once again present a wide selection of talks, performances, music, screenings and off-site projects. Expanding beyond Charlottenborg into the surrounding public space, a key ambition of CHART is to bring art into the city and to meet audiences where they already are. CHART Public frames our public programme with a total installation in the historic courtyards at Charlottenborg. In spring 2026, we will invite artists, designers, architects and scenographers to submit ambitious proposals for structures that merge artistic expression with space for gathering and social interaction. For now, mark your calendars and get ready to join us at Charlottenborg for an unforgettable and inspiring week! @juliesilbermann @kristin_kristjansd @sidselbenzin @martaschioldann

CHART Public Winner Announcement! 🎪 After reviewing submissions from designers, architects, scenographers and artists from across the Nordics, the jury invited 3 finalist teams to present their ideas, before selecting 1 winner: • ‘Pantomime’ by Mads Vagn Jacobsen (@mads.vagn ), Frederik Lykkeberg Larsen (@frederiklykkeberg ) from @antenna_works & Oliver Sundqvist (@o.sundqvist ) 🏵️ Reimagining the courtyards at Charlottenborg as a total installation, the team behind Pantomime has proposed an inspiring scenography that will set the stage for CHART 2026. Pantomime draws on a theatrical tradition rooted in gesture, exaggeration, and collective spectacle, turning Charlottenborg’s courtyards into an open, continuous stage. Like a circus arriving in the city, the installation temporarily occupies the courtyard, transforming it into a stage for collective experience. The jury has also selected 2 teams who they would like to give honourable mentions to: • ‘Sisters’ by Áron Koch (@kh_aron ), Robert Olsson (@robbearth ), Charles Palmborg (@charliepalmborg ) & Maciej Rojek (@maciejrrojek ) • ‘A space of borrowed gravity’ by Victor Hauerslev Munch (@victormunch ) & Jacob Billesbølle (@_blurkid_ ) CHART Public is made possible by the generous support of @koebenhavnskommune , @detobelskefamiliefond , @augustinusfonden , @statenskunstfond and Knud Højgaards Fond who all generously contributed to the production of CHART Public. Our warmest thanks go out to this year’s jury: • Kim Lenschow (@kimlenschow ), Founder of Office Kim Lenschow • Peter Bur Andersen (@peterburandersen ), Founder and Creative Director of @briqgroup • Katrine Morel (@katrine_morel ), Head of Architecture & Spatial Design at @surfaceclub_eu , and Project manager for CHART Public 📸 • Pantomime by Mads Vagn Jacobsen, Frederik Lykkeberg Larsen & Oliver Sundqvist • Illustration by Jörg Kölderer in 1502–1508 for Maximiliani König Zeughauss • Marcel Marceau in an advert for LU in 1988, portrayed as his iconic character “Bip the Clown”.

Welcoming a new gallery to CHART 2026! Read a brand new Q&A with the owner of @otpcopenhagen , published via the CHART Journal 📰📣 In an interview with @martaschioldann , Oscar Gilbert, owner of OTP Copenhagen, reflects on the psychological intensity of small-format paintings and the changing demographics of collectors. From early student exhibitions in Edinburgh to working closely with an increasingly international collector base, he discusses how the gallery balances artistic ambition with the practical realities of running a commercial space. Explore how the gallery challenges conventions and engages with body politics, ideas of the uncanny or the grotesque, and new approaches to religion and spirituality.

How did Morten Avlskarl get his start in the gallery world? 🗞️📣 Dive into a brand new Q&A with the owner of @avlskarlgallery , published via the CHART Journal. The interview by @martaschioldann traces his unusual path into the art world—from a background in restaurants and a long-standing fascination with artists and collecting, to opening his gallery in September 2008, just months before the financial crisis hit. What followed was a slow but steady beginning, built on patience, networks, and a never-ending search for originality. The conversation also explores his strong connection to German art and his focus on representing these artists in Scandinavia, alongside a clear stance on what matters most: originality over trends, and work that challenges rather than follows fashion. Dive into the full conversation now via chartartfair.com (link in bio) We are excited to welcome Avlskarl Gallery to Kunsthal Charlottenborg later this summer as part of the art fair at CHART 2026 for the first time. 📸 • Portrait of Morten Avlskarl reflected in a work by Rosemarie Trockel • Image of Morten Avlskarl at Avlskarl Gallery, Bredgade, 2012 • Andi Fischer, Licht, bitte!, Installation view, Avlskarl Gallery, 2024.

Almost 4000 traffic cones, suspended from steel scaffolding, turned the Charlottenborg courtyards into something else entirely. That was Re-Route, the winning installation for CHART Public 2025, designed by Samuel Charles Barratt, a British architect based in Denmark who trained in some of the world's most unforgiving climates. We broadcast live from underneath it all weekend. Our host @richardfeigin sat down with @samuelcharlesbarratt to hear him talk through the thinking behind it. That conversation is up now. And if the work sparks something: the @chart_artfair Public Open Call for 2026 launches today. Open to architects, designers, scenographers and artists. More at chartartfair.com.
