Introduktion

For 168. gang vises Charlottenborg Forårsudstilling på Kunsthal Charlottenborg. 870 kunstnere og kunstnergrupper har søgt om optag på dette års udstilling. Årets jury er det dansk-svenske kunstnerkollektiv coyote, som i år har valgt at arbejde med kategorierne Samlinger, Urealiserede projekter og Scenen. Feltet er nu skåret ned til 41 udstillere, som kan opleves på Charlottenborg Forårsudstilling 2025.

Introduction

For the 168th time the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition is held at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. 870 artists and artist groups have applied for inclusion in this year’s exhibition. This year’s jury is the Danish-Swedish artist collective coyote, which has chosen to work with the categories Collections, Unrealised Projects, and The Stage. The field has now been narrowed down to 41 exhibitors, who can all be experienced at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition 2025.

Forårsudstillingen på Charlottenborg 2025 er tænkt som en månedlang samtale mellem de 41 udvalgte kunstnere, kunstnerkollektiver og fællesskaber. Det mangfoldige udvalg af værker og stemmer danner tilsammen en assemblage, hvor det personlige møder det universelle, det subjektive møder det kollektive, og det specifikke møder det generelle. Hvor kollektive handlinger, afbildninger af rum og fællesskaber møder personlige kosmologier i krydsfeltet mellem begær og forståelse for at finde fællesskab i det spredte.

Årets juryproces er informeret af dette års open call, der opfordrede andre konstellationer og praksisser til at ansøge – herunder muligheden for at søge med samlinger. En samling kan rumme det hverdagslige eller det politiske, kan afspejle en bestemt orden og metodik eller være tilfældigt sammensat. Men enhver samling udgør en særlig måde at fastholde minder og historier på, og i udstillingen bliver det at samle en væsentlig del af det, man kunne kalde “kampen mod adspredtheden.” Ud over at introducere samlingen som greb i kontekst af Forårsudstillingen er der i år også blevet tilføjet en scene som en integreret del af udstillingsrummet for at understrege Forårsudstillingens midlertidige karakter. Det er ikke blot en scene for live-programmet, men også en påmindelse om forventningens kraft og om, at dette er et sted for det forestillede.

Man kan sige, at konceptet for Forårsudstillingen udgør et evigt omskifteligt sæt af muligheder og kombinationer – af potentialer for, hvad den kan være. Årets udstilling viser en række idiosynkrasier, paradokser og tydelige kontraster for at igangsætte en samtale, der forhåbentlig vil være både givende og engagerende. Og som de fleste berigende samtaler vil den ikke nødvendigvis ende med en entydig konklusion, men snarere med en ny sammensætning af indsigter, overvejelser og spørgsmål.

En stor tak til hver eneste kunstner, der har ansøgt, til bestyrelsen og til daglig leder af Charlottenborg Fonden, Klara Li, for jeres engagement og tillid.

På vegne af coyote

Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition 2025 is imagined as a one-month-long conversation between the 41 selected artists, collectives and communities. This scattered selection of works and voices forms an assemblage—where the personal meets the universal, the subjective meets the collective and the specific meets the general. Where collective acts, representations of spaces and communities, and personal cosmologies meet at the junction of desire and comprehension to find solidarity in diffusion.

This year’s jury process has been informed by the open call, where it was encouraged for other practices and constellations to apply, one being the collection. The collection can be a place for the mundane or the political, can have a specific order or be randomly put together. But every collection represents a specific form of grasping memories and stories, and in the exhibition, the act of collecting becomes an essential part of picking up “the struggle against dispersion.” Apart from introducing the collection in this context, a stage has been brought in as an integral component of the space, to emphasize the temporary state of the Spring Exhibition. It is not only a stage for a live program, but also a reminder of anticipation and that this is a place of sheer imagination. 

One could argue that the concept of the Spring Exhibition is an ever-changing set of possibilities and combinations of what it could be. This year’s exhibition is presenting idiosyncrasies, paradoxes and visible contrast, to initiate a conversation that could be fruitful and compelling. And like most enriching conversations they don’t always end up with a clear-cut conclusion, but rather a new arrangement of insights, speculations and questions.

A big thanks to each and every artist who has applied, to the board and the daily manager of Charlottenborg Fonden Klara Li for your dedication and trust.
