Celebrating 10 Years of CHART Architecture
To commemorate the 10thanniversary of CHART Architecture, CHART will present a new curated selling exhibition, featuring contributions by each of the galleries participating at the fair, showcasing established international names alongside an emerging generation of 'New Voices in the Nordics'. The exhibition will take place in a purpose built large-scale architectural pavilion, which will be installed in the courtyard for the duration of the fair, conceptualised specifically to propose an alternative to the 'white cube' gallery formatand responding to the theme of 'Neo Nordic Architecture'.

The pavilion’s design was selected by an expert jury following an open-call inviting teams of emerging architects to submit proposals for the structure. This year marks the most ambitious CHART Architectureto date, with just one monumental pavilion being constructed. The exhibition will survey the latest developments in the region's art and architectural scenes, whilst also exploring how architectural space impacts the way we encounter contemporary art.The exhibition symbolisesCHART’s commitment towards uniting the worlds of contemporary art and architecture.

Julie Quottrup Silbermann, Director of CHART

It's an exciting milestone that speaks to our ongoing commitment to innovation atthe intersection of art and architecture.”
