Season opening

Join us when Kunsthal Charlottenborg opens its doors for the autumn season, featuring two new exhibitions and an after party on Friday, September 27th.

Experience the opening of Any Noise Annoys an Oyster by Francis Upritchard and the comprehensive group exhibition Poetics of Encryption. Santino will be playing in the foyer, and Apollo Bar will serve free bubbles to the first 100 guests. Throughout the evening, you can purchase beer, wine, drinks, and the “dish of the day” at Apollo Kantine.

Just before the opening of the exhibition Poetics of Encryption, curator Nadim Samman and participating artists will give an introduction to the exhibition, the works and the creation process behind them. The introduction takes place in our cinema. It is free to participate and places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis (doors open at 15.30).

After the opening, the party moves on to the legendary Culture Box’s Black Box. Here, there will be free admission between 21.00 and 22.00, and until midnight, you can experience a series of musical and visual performances with Eliott Litrowski, Rhyw & Moritz Stumm LIVE A/V, and Alva Noto (DJ set) playing at the After party: Poetics of Encryption x Culture Box.

Francis Upritchard:
Look forward to experience the New Zealand-born sculptor Francis Upritchard unfold a world of mermaids, mythical creatures and eccentric figures in her first Scandinavian exhibition. With more than 100 works, ranging from large-scale figurative sculptures to ceramics, blown glass vases, jewellery and diminutive beings, this comprehensive exhibition creates a space somewhere between ideas of our past and visions for a future.
