The Second ENTER Talent Exhibition
Brandts Torv 1
Odense
Denmark 5000
In connection with this, one of the major Danish art prizes will be awarded:
ENTERPRIZE 2011 in the amount of 100,000 DKK
In 2008, Kunsthallen Brandts decided to create a new platform for young Danish artists in the form of a large-scale, recurring group exhibition to be presented in Kunsthallen’s two most spacious galleries. This time 20 artists will occupy 800 square meters.
The intention now, as it was then, is to provide young artists with a way of reaching the public other than that offered by the gallery system. In our view, it is important that art institutions care for the new and young contemporary artists in our own local context, too, giving them sufficient space and attention.
With ENTER 2, Kunsthallen thus draws attention to a number of young Danish artists who have made their mark in recent years. And the major prize, ENTERPRIZE, will once again be awarded in accordance with the judgment of an international jury.
ENTERPRIZE 2011
ENTERPRIZE is one of the largest Danish art prizes, established by Montana in connection with the first ENTER exhibition at Kunsthallen Brandts. It consists of a main prize of 100,000 DKK and two travel grants of 25,000 DKK each.
