For the first ever Copenhagen Art Week, Danish publisher Kunsten has brought together 65 museums, project spaces, institutions, and galleries. Known more internationally for its preeminent place in the design world, the Danish capital has ascended in prominence within the contemporary art scene thanks to a handful of innovative, young galleries and a wealth of innovative institutions such as the Louisiana Museum and the Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
Building off of Copenhagen’s quadrennial arts festival, the art week seeks to kick start the fall European art calendar with two fairs (Art Copenhagen and CHART), a citywide gallery night on Wednesday, the 28th, and a special, performance specific evening on Thursday called “One Night Only.” The festivities continue officially though Sunday, but are a mere kick off for programming that continues throughout the fall.
Now in its 17th year, Art Copenhagen presents 59 galleries from 15 countries. New for 2013 is “Art Start” a special exhibition aimed at tempting budding collectors with new work from each gallery to be sold at a fixed price of €1000.
For its inaugural edition, the dealer-run fair focuses on contemporary art from the Nordic region with 22 galleries on offer. An additional section for large-scale installations features work by Olafur Eliasson, Tacita Dean, Lawrence Weiner, and others.
