Kopenhagen Contemporary showcases world-class modern art
From the 18 – 20 September 2009, galleries, museums and exhibition halls will open their doors to show the best of what Copenhagen’s modern art scene has to offer when Kopenhagen Contemporary gets underway.
Copenhagen’s art scene is red hot and the city’s galleries are invited to exhibit at trendsetting shows all over the world. In short, Copenhagen is becoming one of Europe’s important art metropolises. That’s why Wonderful Copenhagen together with Kopenhagen Publishing is presenting the gallery weekend - Kopenhagen Contemporary.
During a weekend, about 50 leading galleries, museums and exhibition spaces open their doors and offer receptions, guided tours, artist talks and debate events. The participating venues cover a broad spectrum – from the firmly established to the newly opened galleries and exhibition spaces with an edge. Among the participants are Gallery Nicolai Wallner, V1 Gallery, Galerie Mikael Andersen, WAS – Wonderland Art Space, Nils Stærk Contemporary Art, Louisiana og Statens Museum for Kunst.
- With Kopenhagen Contemporary, we will present Copenhagen’s 2009 art scene to a wide audience. Many of the participating galleries and exhibition halls will offer special events and arrangements. It is our wish that even more people become aware of the tremendous growth we are experiencing in the art world these years. Copenhagen is simply more and more visible in the global art scene, says editor Torben Zenth, Kopenhagen.dk.
The program for Kopenhagen Contemporary will be available in August. Read more at: www.kopenhagencontemporary.com
Kopenhagen Contemporary is organized by Wonderful Copenhagen and Kopenhagen Publishing in collaboration with Copenhagen’s leading galleries, exhibition halls and museums.
