CODE Art Fair Copenhagen 2016

About Code Art Fair

Code is a new, ambitious art fair located in Copenhagen, one of the world’s most vibrant and forward-looking capitals. Our mission is to discover and showcase some of the best contemporary art – not only from Scandinavia – but from around the world. Opening Hours

Friday 26 August – 12:00 pm-8:00 pm Saturday 27 August – 11:00 am-7:00 pm Sunday 28 August – 11:00 am-5:00 pm

Code will bring together leading galleries from throughout Europe and North America along with a number of the contemporary art world’s “brightest minds” including artists, writers, curators and collectors. Apart from a carefully selected roster of exciting galleries Code will feature a number of curated exhibitions and special projects designed to further elicit curiosity and stimulate reflection about art.

Code’s mission includes fostering an open, ongoing dialogue between the actors of the art world. To this end, the fair will feature specially appointed events to meet and discuss the cultural and economic forces currently shaping the contemporary art market.

Code will take place in Bella Center, Scandinavia’s largest exhibition center. With it’s dramatic glass and steel architecture and soaring spaces bathed in natural light, it is an ideal venue to experience art while getting a taste of contemporary Nordic culture.

Code’s point of view is simple: Good art should be accessible to everyone and everyone who comes to Code whether artist, curator, collector or visitor deserves a good art experience. What you see at Code today will shape the art scene of tomorrow.

Join us in Copenhagen 26-28 August 2016.
