Every year in advance of the fair, CHART hosts a series of online curator meetings between gallerists that participate at CHART, artists from their programme, and leading curators from art institutions around the world.
During the meetings, gallerists are asked to give a short presentation to highlight the practice of one of the artists from their programme, to an audience of between 3 and 5 curators, invited to the meeting from CHART's extensive network of institutional collaborators.
The initiative sprung from CHART's interest to explore new art fair formats, as well as a desire to bring curators and galleries closer together during the pandemic. In the years following, we have continued to organise the meetings as a sustainable way to bring members of the Nordic arts community together, in dialogue with our international colleagues, without necessitating travel or major disruption to otherwise busy schedules.
We were delighted to facilitate curator meetings for the following galleries this year:
Andersen’s (DK), Andréhn-Schiptjenko (SE/FR), Galerie Anhava (FI), BERG Contemporary (IS), Galleri Bo Bjerggaard (DK), BORCH Editions (DK/DE), Carl Kostyál (UK/SE/IT), Cecilia Hillström Gallery (SE), Croy Nielsen (AT), Dorothée Nilsson Gallery (DE), Galerie Forsblom (FI), Gether Contemporary (DK), GSA Gallery (SE), Helsinki Contemporary (FI), i8 Gallery (IS), Galleri Magnus Karlsson (SE), Martin Asbæk Gallery (DK), MELK (NO), palace enterprise (DK), Peder Lund (NO), Persons Projects (DE), Saskia Neuman Gallery (SE), SPECTA (DK), Gallery Steinsland Berliner (SE), Galleri Susanne Ottesen (DK), V1 Gallery (DK).

"CHART is really thoughtful with these meetings, creating groups of artists and curators that have like interests. I always enjoy hearing from the artists directly about their work and interests and the opportunity to ask questions. But, moreover, I find the other curators' questions valuable as well."
Curator at Now+There (US)
"The meetings felt like a fantastic way to build new connections to unfamiliar artists, galleries and curators, which feels incredibly useful."
Senior Curator at Zabludowicz Collection (UK)
"Amazing experience, nice to have some time to meet artists and gallerists without travelling!"

"The CHART online curator programme provides a unique occasion to get a focused introduction to an artist's pratice and to connect with galleries as well as institutional colleagues. It potentially starts a conversation that wouldn't take place otherwise and I can't think of any other format that does just that."
Director of Kunstforeningen GL STRAND (DK)
