Jonah Freeman & Justin Lowe: Scenario in the Shade
June 16–August 12, 2018
Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents the first solo show in Scandinavia of the NYC-based art duo Jonah Freeman & Justin Lowe. The immersive exhibition Scenario in the Shade is an architectural and cinematic scenario based on the youth subcultures of the San San Metroplex, a fictive urban corridor that exists along the coast of California, USA. This large-scale, multi-space environment, which includes a major cinematic work, was previously exhibited at the Istanbul Biennale 2017 curated by Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset.
Kirstine Roepstorff: Renaissance of the Night
June 16–August 12, 2018
This summer, Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents the most comprehensive monographic exhibition to date by Danish artist Kirstine Roepstorff. The show will include the central pieces from the 2017 Venice Biennale, where the artist represented Denmark, alongside a large selection of older and entirely new works. The exhibition focuses on the phenomena of darkness, dissolution and transformation, and will be orchestrated as one immersive installation taking up the entire south wing of Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Curated by Aukje Lepoutre Ravn.
Julian Rosefeldt: Manifesto
June 16–August 12, 2018
The critically acclaimed cinematic work Manifesto is Julian Rosefeldt’s first motion picture created from his art work consisting of a 13-channel video installation starring Cate Blanchett who leads us through a string of culture defined manifestos. Manifesto was presented for the first time in December 2015 in Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne. Since then, the installation has toured around the world, and now the film version can be experienced during the summer at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
BIG ART
September 21, 2018–January 13, 2019
The exhibition BIG ART constitutes Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s most ambitious and comprehensive exhibition of large-scale contemporary art to date. The show presents contemporary art integrated into architecture, created specifically for the buildings and urban spaces devised by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) throughout the world. The show features BIG’s creative collaborations with a range of some of the most acclaimed contemporary artists working today, including Ai Weiwei, A-Kassen, Douglas Coupland, Jeppe Hein, Julie Edel Hardenberg, Lars von Trier, Shepard Fairey, SUPERFLEX, Victor Ash and others. Curated by Michael Thouber.
Alicja Kwade
September 21, 2018–February 17, 2019
Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents the first major exhibition in Denmark of the acclaimed Polish-born artist Alicja Kwade. Her poetic sculptural landscapes often consist of familiar objects and commonplace natural materials that are stripped of their usual function and imbued with new properties and value. Alicja Kwade challenges our understanding of abstract concepts such as the nature of time, space and light, the laws of physics, the mysteries of science and the deeply embedded social conventions that form the bedrock of our perception of reality. Curated by Marie Nipper.
Angela Melitopoulos: Crossings
November 22, 2018–January 13, 2019
Experience one of the central art works from last year’s documenta exhibition by Angela Melitopoulos. Crossings is an experimental reaction to the current state of crisis in Greece, which operates as an audiovisual exploration of passing between different times and spaces. The work consists of complex cinematographic cartographies that assume the form of a video installation.
Irena Haiduk: Seductive Exacting Realism (SER)
November 22–December 9, 2018
Kunsthal Charlottenborg presents Irena Haiduk’s first solo show in Scandinavia. The project Seductive Exacting Realism (SER) has previously been exhibited at the 14th Istanbul Biennale, The Renaissance Society centennial, and documenta 14 where SER hosted a variable space for making history. This autumn sees the begining of a two-year collaboration between Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Irena Haiduk, preceding a final work at the site in 2020. Curated by Michael Thouber.
