CHART Architecture & Start Collecting with CHART
To celebrate the 10th edition of CHART Architecture, this year's competition called for innovative proposals for exhibition structures that respond to the theme Neo Nordic Architecture and challenge the white cube gallery format.
Breeze was selected as the winning proposal and will be installed in the courtyards at Charlottenborg during CHART 2024. Inside you will find the curated exhibition Start Collecting with CHART, featuring artworks by some of the most established artists in the Nordics today alongside a new generation of emerging talents.
All of the works in the exhibition will be priced below 20.000 DKK / 2700 EUR. We hope that by presenting stand-out artworks beneath a fixed price threshold that first-time buyers will be encouraged to start their collecting journeys.
