Kunsthal Charlottenborg is one of the largest and most beautiful exhibition spaces for contemporary art in Northern Europe The exhibition space presents an ambitious program with international outlook featuring talents as well as established stars from both Denmark and abroad. Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents uncompromising and agenda setting art still understandable for everyone. The trendsetting exhibition program is supplemented with a large number of activities like artist talks, performances, concerts and film screenings. Ever since Kunsthal Charlottenborg opened in 1883, the venue has hosted exhibitions featuring many of the leading contemporary artists of the given times, accommodating many different types of shows and activities. Charlottenborg now celebrates its long history with a large-scale exhibition featuring all-new and older works alike. Together, they will evoke and add nuance to the history of Kunsthal Charlottenborg, a venue without a collection or a historical archive. Embracing chaos, affinities and time glitches, the exhibition Full of Days forges intuitive connections between historical moments and less-remembered shows, stories and events. Through a cacophony of voices, contemporary and historical artists are framed into a reflection on the elusiveness of time and the multiplicity of its representations, offering a non-linear account of one the Kunsthal’s possible histories. Special Exhibithions (Kunsthalcharlottenborg.dk):   Banu Cennetoğlu - BEING SAFE IS SCARY 19 mar – 10 aug 2025:Look forward to the first solo exhibition in Denmark by the Istanbul-based artist Banu Cennetoğlu. Through a series of works, the exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg moves from societal issues to more intimate spheres. Critical investigations of the daily press, the migration flows through Europe and the UN Declaration of Human Rights are brought to dialogue with an extensive private image archive, connecting the small and large events of everyday life with urgent global issues.Cennetoğlu is interested in how the production and distribution of text- and image-based information contributes to shaping our world. Her practice often involves extensive collecting, cataloguing and archiving of materials, which subsequently manifest in carefully composed works with wide-reaching perspectives. By processing various types of textual and visual materials, she examines the function of such signs, their politics of memory, and the underlying interests or power structures they reveal. Disobedience Archive 19 mar – 10 aug 2025:Dive into an expansive collection of video works that map out various artistic strategies of resistance – and apply a rich diversity of historical, geographical, and social perspectives. Disobedience Archive explores the relationship between art and political action by examining how struggles for resistance are translated into moving images, thereby creating a form of artistic visual activism.The archive consists of a comprehensive and continuously growing collection of films chronicling nearly fifty years of social struggles across different parts of the world: from Italy’s Parco Lambro revolt in 1977 and the anti-globalisation protests of the 1990s, to the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street, as well as battles for labour rights in Southeast Asia, global climate protests, struggles for LGBTQ+ and migrant rights, and demands for decolonisation among Europe’s former colonies. By connecting otherwise separate justice movements, the archive makes it possible to view them within a broader political context across time and place.Disobedience Archive is curated by Marco Scotini and has been presented at institutions worldwide since 2005, most recently at the Venice Biennale in 2024.  Charlottenborg Art Books The independent bookstore offers a distinctive selection of books and magazines, including publications in the fields of fine art, critical design, typography, literature, and theory.Apollo Bar & Canteen Apollo Bar & Canteen are Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s bar and dining place by chef and creator Frederik Bille Brahe.

Special Exhibitions (nordatlantens.dk):   Art and music from 1/3 to 24/8: Music has tones, and visual art has colour tones. We use the term ‘compose’ about paintings and pieces of music alike. A ‘suite’ can be a series of artworks or a set of musical pieces composed around the same theme. Language itself has many overlaps between visual art and music. This exhibition explores various dialogues and exchanges between visual art and music. Art and Music is an adapted version of the exhibition Tónar í list, curated by and shown at Listasavn Føroya (The National Gallery of the Faroe Islands) in 2023–24. The exhibition focuses particularly on the interplay between visual art and music within the Faroese cultural scene. Music is, and has long been, a source of inspiration for countless artists and their production of works. Similarly, numerous musical pieces have been inspired by visual art. Visual art has also played a central role in the creation of album covers and music videos. The exhibition presents works of visual art that engage in direct and indirect dialogues with music. It also showcases works by practitioners who are both musicians and visual artists, as well as works where the distinction between the two art forms becomes impossible to uphold.
