Event Details

CHART is the leading event for contemporary art in the Nordic region. CHART brings together dedicated individuals and inspiring professionals to impact the future of the arts community in the Nordics and beyond.
CHART returns to the Danish capital for its 11th edition from 24 – 27 August 2023. Taking place at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in the heart of Copenhagen, it brings together 37 exhibitors from across the Nordic region, creating a single-entry point into the region's gallery scene. Building on Copenhagen’s stronghold of art, design and architecture, CHART 2023 will present an art fair, an art book fair and a public programme of talks, performances and architectural projects.
CHART gathers the entire ecosystem of the Nordic art scene to celebrate the local market and community in all its diversity as a non-profit organisation, emphasising Nordic values that both shape and go beyond aesthetics; social awareness, democratic principles, forward thinking and collaborative practices.
CHART 2023 will expand the conversation around the idea of ‘conscious collecting,’ through a dedicated programme of curated talks as well as a new exhibition featuring artworks accessible for first-time collectors. Through the programme, CHART hopes to provide more transparency around purchasing processes and to shine a light on the social and cultural benefits of collecting as well as the moral responsibilities involved.
Following the success of the first edition of CHART in Tivoli in 2022, CHART announces a 3-year collaboration with Tivoli Gardens, that will see a brand new exhibition of site-specific artworks presented inside the iconic amusement park, for 1 month every summer from 2023 to 2025.
Established in 1843, Tivoli Gardens is a cherished cultural landmark in the centre of Copenhagen that annually welcomes millions of visitors and hosts a wide range of cultural activities. CHART in Tivoli reimagines the traditional exhibition format by integrating art into the historic fabric of Tivoli Gardens. Throughout the month-long exhibition from August to September, visitors will encounter captivating site-specific sculptures, installations, and video works nestled alongside Tivoli's world-famous rides.
The project continues CHART’s mission of being an agent of positive change, challenging the traditional art fair format and bringing contemporary art to new audiences. CHART in Tivoli will feature new works by a diverse line up of 16 international emerging and established artists.
CHART has expanded the concept of the art fair into an event that incorporates architecture, design and book publishing, public programmes that reach a wide audience, and a year-round presence through its digital platform, CHART Journal. The tradition of a generous public programme continues with performances and music acts in the courtyards of Charlottenborg, free and open for everyone, that turns CHART into a celebration of the arts in the heart of Copenhagen.
