Autumn Holiday for families

Autumn Holiday at Kunsthal Charlottenborg

During week 42, you can bring your family to Kunsthal Charlottenborg, where you can experience the two newly opened exhibitions and a range of creative activities for both children and adults. Join for a treasure hunt through the exhibitions guided by a mystifying treasure map, and continue exploring our current exhibitions Any Noise Annoys an Oyster by Francis Upritchard and Poetics of Encryption at our family tour. Anyone who wants to unleash their creativity can create fantasy sculptures from various exciting materials and make their own flag in two workshops inspired by the works from the exhibitions.

Workshop: Create Your Own Fantasy Sculpture

Age group: 5-100

Sculptures in bronze, natural rubber, textiles, and papier-mâché. Ancient giants, mythological creatures, miniatures, futurism, and much more will be present through Francis Upritchard’s fascinating and captivating universe in the exhibition Any Noise Annoys an Oyster. Beneath the surface lurk mystique, mythical creatures, and unknown forms, perhaps even sweet, new friends. Inspired by the exhibition, you can, at Culture Night, enter the realm of strangeness and acquaint yourself with the artist’s materials, digging your hands deep in the clay to continue imagining who might inhabit Upritchard’s shared fantasy universe. In the workshop, you can create your own miniature sculpture out of clay and other exciting materials and explore what a sculpture can be.

Workshop: Who Do You Fly the Flag For?

Age group: 8-100

The exhibition Poetics of Encryption highlights the impact technology and our online presents can have on how we think and feel about ourselves, others, politics, and much more. Among the vast array of information, images, advertisements, etc., the internet is also home to a multitude of communities, sometimes, they are very small and highly specific. Artist Joshua Citarella is intrigued by the many, sometimes dark, corners of the internet, through this fascination he has created the work E-deologies, a series of flags – a kind of simplified personal branding for some of the hyperspecific political ideologies and communities that exist only online. At the Culture Night workshop, we will similarly play with the idea of how our own personal stories, playful identity, or personal branding might look in an easily decipherable way by designing and creating our own personal flag using various materials and incorporating icons, symbols, memes, and images
