About the exhibition
When the exhibition Full of Days opens at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, it will be with a series of completely new works by Danish and international artists that relate to the history of the place, an exhibition building without a collection or historical archive.

The new commissions are presented side by side with a selection of carefully curated historical works as well as images from Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s past. This interweaving of different voices and temporalities emphasises how history writing always depends on the narrator. At the same time, it creates the starting point for an exhibition that embraces the disordered accumulation, shifts and cyclic returns that define the exhibition building’s 140 years of history. The show forges intuitive links and connections, and traces affinities and idiosyncrasies between art, people and events from different times, to outline one among many possible portraits of the venue – one which eschews a straightforward linear narrative. Further info here.
