DIS presents: What Do People Do All Day?

ATTENTION:

Kunsthal Charlottenborg is closed until further notice. This happens based on the Danish government’s declaration that all public cultural institutions with indoor spaces are to close down for at least two weeks to minimise the spread of corona virus (COVID-19).

The closing of Kunsthal Charlottenborg means that all events that should have taken place during the period 12 March – 27 March are canceled or postponed, inclusive the opening of the exhibition ‘DIS presents: What Do People Do All Day?’. Further information about the opening will follow.

Instead, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, in collaboration with DIS, Tranen and CPH:DOX, will make all films and series on the streaming platform Dis.art available free of charge to all Danes until September 1, 2020. Further info here:
