The main question of the exhibition is “We ask what happens when art is exchanged and produced across different spaces. And what does it mean to create and experience art when we do it together?”. “Shared Space” aims to reinforce the idea that we all inhabit a shared space and that both art, and our experience of it, is a space we share, influence and negotiate constantly. The week starts with the international art fair “CHART” at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, as well as a special edition of SMK Friday at the National Gallery of Denmark where Copenhagen Art Week presents new ways of meeting art. The following days include exhibitions, debates, openings, artist talks, guided tours and many other activities. Five Contemporary Art Centers in Copenhagen organize the exhibition “TRUST” featuring more than forty Danish and International artists presenting parties, performances and art walks. Don’t miss the exhibition: “Man Ray – Human Equations” at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, that expands our notion of Man Ray and presents an unorthodox artist who goes far beyond the boundaries of the established categories in the history of art.
