ARCHITECTURE COMPETITION  

As a key element of CHART SOCIAL, this competition was launched in 2014 to promote young Nordic architects and explore the crossover between art and architecture. This year graduates from five of the leading Nordic schools of architecture were invited to design and build pavilions to house gastronomy, media and artistic partners during CHART ART FAIR.  

The competition is judged by BJARKE INGELS, architect and founder BIG Bjarke Ingels Group; KRISTOFFER LINDHARDT WEISS, philosopher and curator of The Danish Pavilion at The 2016 Venice Biennale; DORTE FOSS, architect; TOM EMERSON, architect and founder of 6a architects and JAMIEE WILLIAMS, architect and artistic manager at CHART.  

This year one pavilion is created in collaboration with The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and will remain in the courtyard of Kunsthal Charlottenborg to exhibit chosen works of the graduating students. The remaining pavilions will house the following partners during CHART: ABSOLUT, Restaurant Gorilla, Condesa bar & spiseri, L’Esprit du Vin, Space 10 and Union Kitchen. The competition is kindly supported by Københavns Kommune, Realdania and FOSS.

CHART EMERGING  

CHART EMERGING is an inaugural collaboration between CHART and the Academy of Fine Arts, which aims to promote aspiring, young international artists. The first edition of CHART EMERGING will present THE CURVES OF THE WORLD, an exhibition inspired by the literary concept of Cyberpunk, featuring works of promising young artists. Concurrent to the exhibition and in line with the activist spirit of Cyberpunk, THE CURVES OF THE WORLD will “hack” the official CHART program with performances and an independent exhibition programme.  
  
THE CURVES OF THE WORLD exists as a collateral programme that investigates parallels between the futuristic cooking manifestos of the 30s and the new Nordic food traditions. By sampling CyperPunk with Futurism, Viking traditions with Sci-Fi, fetishism and pop culture THE CURVES OF THE WORLD flips and reverse the apocalyptic origin of CyperPunk, by fusing the past and the present to suggest a positive future.  
  
The project is organised by Danish curator Mette Woller.  
  
The CHART EMERGING program will also highlight projects from two of The Royal Academy of Fine Arts top graduates. Lucas Wichmann Melkane will present The Balcony, a renovation of Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s baroque balcony, which has been on the verge of collapsing for years. For his project, Melkane won the prestigious grant, Charlottenborg legatet. His graduate project received financial support by CHART.  
  
Mathias Dyhr’s graduate project is the book Skitse til en monografi [Outline of a Monograph] about his peers’ sculptural work and life as a young artist. During CHART, Dyhr will read select passages from his book in the gardens of The School of Sculpture at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts.  
  
  
CHART EMERGING is kindly supported by The Obel Family Foundation.
