FUTURE EXHIBITIONS 2012 Part of Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art’s profile is that the house belongs to the artists themselves. For this reason, our programme is planned and initiated by artists and this means that collective exhibition practices are in focus and that artistic experiments are valued highly. SOUND ART IN DEN FRIE CENTRE OF CONTEMPORARY ART / JUNE 9TH - JUNE 17TH 2012 In co-operation with SNYK (a genre organization for new compositional music and other experimental music in Denmark), Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art presents a 10 day international Sonic art festival. The festival will present a wide section of sonic art and will explore the intersection between art and sound. SUMMER EXHIBITION / JUNE 23RD - AUGUST 12TH The Summer Exhibition is curated by the artist group A-kassen, which was established in 2006. A-kassen works with performance art installations and sculptures which are often developed for specific places. For the Summer Exhibition A-kassen has the architecture of the house as a starting point and invites artists from home and abroad to introduce new tendencies. COPENHAGEN ART FESTIVAL / AUGUST 25th – OCTOBER 7th 2012 Copenhagen Art Festival will present a full programme of art throughout the city as well as in the 5 art halls Gl. Strand, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art, Kunsthallen Nikolaj and Overgaden. The theme of the festival is community. This theme will be explored in different ways and a variety of voices will be passed on from artistic, theoretical and concrete perspectives. In Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art we will show a multifaceted view of communities and present examples of how communities depend both on the memory of the individual and on our common recollection, as well as the place of the individual in time and space. THE ARTISTS' AUTUMN EXHIBITION / OCTOBER 13th – NOVEMBER 25th Since 2011, the Artists' Autumn Exhibition and Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art has renewed and strengthened our co-operation. The Artists' Autumn Exhibition is both an alternative and a counterpart to the censored Spring Exhibtion at Charlottenborg. With a history of more than 100 years this exhibition is an important event where artists such as Henry Heerup, Asger Jorn, Richard Mortensen and Michael Kvium debuted and which still attracts new talent. CARL NIELSEN AND ANNE MARIE CARL-NIELSEN'S GRANT / DECEMBER 1st 2012 – JANUARY 6th 2013 Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s grant is one of the biggest prizes of honour available to Danish artists. Every year, the foundation behind the prize awards Danish artists: Every other year Carl Nielsen is honoured by awarding musicians and composers and during alternate years Anne Marie Carl Nielsen is honoured when the prizes are given to visual artists. This year, it has been 50 years since the first artist was honoured with Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen’s grant. The award winners in 2010 were the three artists Sophia Kalkau, Martin Erik Andersen and Thomas Poulsen/FOS. |
