Platform
The new exhibition venue Platform presents six annual exhibitions by the contemporary artists and curators of the future. The initiative runs in parallel with Nikolaj Kunsthal's other exhibitions and events and contributes in particular to heightening the focus on the emerging artists and curators in the field of visual art and dissemination.
The intention and motivation behind this project is to assist new talents in forming networks by offering professional exhibition opportunities, guidance and visibility by PR and marketing. With contributions from Det Obelske Familiefond, Platform can be experienced in Nikolaj Kunsthal from 2025-2027.
The Platform programme is put together by a committee that consists of four qualified professionals from the Danish art scene. The committee 2025-2027 consists of Esben Weile Kjær (artist), Ilethia Sharp (curator, gallerist), Ida Kvetny (artist) og Magnus Kaslov (curator at Museet for Samtidskunst, currently PhD fellow at SMK).
