CHART Public

CHART Public combines a total installation inside the courtyards at Charlottenborg with CHART's broad Public Programme of talks, performances and live music. In the spring of each year we hold an open call, inviting teams of scenographers, designers, architects and artists to submit inspiring proposals. Envisioned as an immersive staging that combines artistic expression with social space, proposals should have a distinct wow-factor that will set the tone for guests arriving to CHART.

Once the open call ends and proposals have been received, they are reviewed by an expert jury of professionals from different fields, including architecture, performance, art and design. Following a series of interviews in early May, one team is selected as the winner and is invited to realise their proposal at Charlottenborg, during the days of CHART.

For the first edition of CHART Public in 2025, Re-Route by Samuel Charles Barratt was selected as winner. The proposal transformed familiar urban elements into a luminous social landscape, reimagining standard Danish traffic cones — symbols of caution and construction — as floating beacons of community and celebration.
