Eva Koťátková: ‘Confessions of the Piping System’
Discover Eva Kot’átková’s surreal universe when she presents her first solo exhibition ever in Scandinavia at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. With her oversized objects, iron sculptures, text sequences and performative works, Kot’átková challenges everyday situations infused by the inhibiting social control of institutional structures. A rapidly rising star on the art scene, Eva Kot’átková (Prague, 1982) has previously presented an extensive solo show at HangarBicocca in Milan, contributed to the Venice Biennale and taken part in group shows at venues such as New Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In the autumn of 2019, she will also be featured at the Istanbul Biennale and present a solo exhibition at the acclaimed Kestner Gesellschaft in Hannover. The exhibition is curated by Henriette Bretton-Meyer. Further info here.

Irena Haiduk: ‘Seductive Exacting Realism’
‘Seductive Exacting Realism’ (SER) is a sound programme based on an interview the artist Irena Haiduk conducted on January 14, 2015 at Harvard University’s Carpenter Center, with Srdja Popovic, co-founder of the OTPOR! student group and the consultancy CANVAS (Center for Applied Non-Violent Action and Strategy), who advises democratic, revolutionary movements all over the world. This presentation marks the beginning of a two-year collaboration with Irena Haiduk (b. 1982 in Beograd), and the opening of Yugoexport’s economy inside Charlottenborg’s bookshop. SER was originally commissioned by the Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago, and later exhibited at the 14th Istanbul Biennial and documenta 14. The exhibition is curated by Michael Thouber. Further info here.
