press release

Forty artists have been invited to attack Kunsthal Charlottenborg's great white walls, distributed among 15 five metres tall galleries. Armed with paint, brush, pencil, ballpoint pen, marker pen etc. the artists pounce upon each their wall in the galleries. With the tools at hand, the artists each draw or paint on an appointed wall, given utterly free reins, with the one condition that they work directly on and with the wall. Where one artist stops and the next one begins, they arrange amongst themselves in the course of the process.

Each individual artist unreservedly decides how much of the wall area is part of his or her work. Thus the result will show anything from subtle little mechanical pencil drawings that force the viewer up close to the surface to great broad brushstrokes which transform the room into a painterly installation affecting the whole body.

The artists have had access to the walls from 5 januar til 15 january.

Catalogue will be sold from 6 march from 15 pm. Sponsor Arctic Paper.

Artists: Ivan Andersen, Augusta Atla, Bank & Rau, Zven Balslev, Trine Boesen, Kaspar Bonnén, Vibe Bredahl, Peter Callesen, Claus Carstensen, Lars Christensen, Christine Clemmesen, Bjørn Pierri Enevoldsen, Christian Finne, Thomas Fleron, TTC/Telefon Til Chefen, Nils Erik Gjerdevik, Malene Hartmann, Emil Westman Hertz, Kristofer Hultenberg, Ida Kvetny, Malene Landgreen, Marie Søndergaard Lolk, Christina Malbek, Jørgen Michaelsen, Bodil Nielsen, Fie Norsker, Carina Randløv, Stefan Rotvit, Julie Sass, Morten Schelde, Christian Schmidt-Rasmussen, Jonas Hvid Søndergaard, Evren Tekinoktay, Alexander Tovborg, Christian Vind, Kirstine Vaaben, Theis Wendt, Mette Winckelmann and Troels Aagaard.
