The Deep Reading Room at CHART 2023, is imagined as a space for quietness and contemplation. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of art books. Created by Plethora in collaboration with Københavns Møbelsnedkeri and CHART, here you will find a curated selection of different publications being presented by the publishers at this year’s Book Fair.

We are exposed to a lot of content and information every day and this is especially true when visiting an art fair or book fair. We hope this environment offers the chance to slow down, take a break for a minute and digest the material you have already experienced.

The publishers participating at CHART Book Fair produce carefully designed books that really benefit from close attention – from the images and text included, to the weight and feel of the pages. The Deep Reading Room provides the perfect opportunity to take all of this in and experience a book as a physical object, as well as a collection of ideas.

For CHART Book Fair 2023, Strandberg Publishing will present ‘Med Kunsten som Indsats – møder mellem erhvervsliv og samtidskunst’, written by Michael Solgaard. The book covers some of Denmark's most visionary companies that strategically collaborate with contemporary artists, exploring the relationships these companies nurture with the artists, fostering a mutually beneficial and creative connection.

The theme will also be further explored in a talk at CHART presented in collaboration with Strandberg Publishing and moderated by the book’s author, Michael Solgaard.

For CHART Book Fair 2023, hurricane publishing will launch Anders Lee-Larsen’s new collection of poems, ‘CTRL SHIFT END.’ Reading Anders Lee-Larsen is like listening to music; the work vibrates across multiple layers at the same time. ‘CTRL SHIFT END’ is a book with four different cover illustrations that was generated using the artificial intelligence programme Midjourney V3, based on texts from the book.

The launch will be accompanied by a book signing with Anders Lee-Larsen.

For CHART Book Fair 2023, BOOK LAB will launch ‘Tegningens Alfabet’, a monograph with collected works by Morten Schelde. Morten Schelde is primarily known for his signature use of red coloured pencil in large-scale drawings of houses and interiors. However, throughout his 25-year career he has created various installations and paintings, among them a commission for The Crown Prince’s palace at Amalienborg. The publication also features texts by Mads Damsbo, Camilla Jalving, and Lise Pennington.

For CHART Book Fair 2023, Bokeh Editions will launch a reprint of ‘En Begynnelse’, a piece of philosophical poetry by the Finnish conceptual artist J. O. Mallander, originally written in 1978. In the text, Mallander paints a reverse vision of Creation, depicting the origin of life. The work holds a strong critical undercurrent, satirizing the way human society is constructed. The current edition was designed by Aleksi Salokannel.

For CHART Book Fair 2023, Praun & Guermouche will present a book signing of Annee Olofsson’s book ‘This Is Annee Olofsson,’ with the artist.

It shows the great breadth of Olofsson’s practice, with essays by Ruth Noack, Alice Hutchison, Aneta Szyłak, Estelle af Malmborg, and Milovan Farronato.

During each visit, she would take 12 photographs with her medium format camera of the same scene with trees, sitting in the same position on a specific rock each time. She would then use the analogue photographic process of layering one image upon another as her method for collecting the passage of time, imagining that each individual photographic fragment was a breath from the forest.

The book considers exhibitions that use democratic meetings as a curatorial approach, and asks, “if the exhibition space were a space for democratic gatherings, how would it look?”
