THE SECOND EDITION 27 CAREFULLY SELECTED GALLERIES FROM ICELAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN, FINLAND AND

OF THE FAIR. CHART HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED A STRONG POSITION ATTRACTING 12,000 VISITORS.

CHART was created in 2013 with the vision of strengthening the role of the Nordic countries in the international art market. Through creative alliances across art, design, gastronomy, music, architecture and business, CHART has distinguished itself as an important international platform for art in the Nordic region. The grand exhibition spaces of Charlottenborg Kunsthal allow us to present art as it should be seen, breaking the convention of art fair booths, providing a welcoming platform for exhibiting and viewing art within the Nordic region. CHART offers something more; an ambitious international talks and performance program, solo shows and curated projects, innovative pop-up food stalls and a grand opening party with DJ’s and live bands set within the unique courtyard of the baroque

Charlottenborg Palace, all brought together through the collective support of the exhibiting galleries.

To mark CHART as an absolute feast for the arts, the weekend kicked off with a grand opening party. An array of Danish and international musicians played into the night providing an exclusive music event for the public to attend. Making up the program were: Iceage, Cancer, Jenny Wilson + Special guest, Darkness Falls, Kasper Bjørke,

Djuna Barnes, Steen Jørgensen, Sun Foot, To\To, William Pym / Nis Bysted, Synd og Skam and Dorit Chrysler.

The unique courtyard was also the setting for a number of innovative pop-up stalls designed by students and young designers from the Royal Danish Academy and Aarhus School of Architecture, as part of an exciting competition judged by Bjarke Ingels, Jeppe Hein and Dorte Foss. The stalls presented gourmet street food from some of Copenhagen’s gastronomic spearheads; L’Esprit du Vin, Ché Fè, Atelier September, Restaurant Pluto,

Søren K and Condesa Bar & Spiseri.

CHART IN NUMBERS:Total number of visitors in 2014: 12,000

CHART is working with several key-partners for the fair. The ambition is not just to have the partner supporting the fair economically but to seek a collaboration whereby the partner

becomes an involved member of the fairs creation. The idea is built on the Nordic tradition of unity.

CHART seeks to form and build strong relationships with our partners enabling a cohesive collaboration whereby we work together to form and realise our ideas. We also

strive to maintain these relationships over a longer period not just for one fair but something that we can build on anually.

CHART facilitates a number of events and dinners for our partners offering the opportunity for interaction, networking and the sharing of ideas between all
