Sleep in art

Become part of an art installation and spend the night at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Nyhavn in Copenhagen. The overnight stay is complimentary. You only pay the entrance of DKK 60 to see the art exhibition Works at work.

Become part of the art and sleep at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, which has housed Danish contemporary art since 1883. The artist group Bosch and Fjord invites everyone to a complimentary overnight stay in the art installation Culture Camping. The artwork is part of the exhibition Works at work, which is open from 20 June - 31 August 2009. 18 beds are located in one room, and twelve beds can be slept in.

Evening walk in the exhibition
All the sleeping installations challenge your senses in various ways. When you lie in your bed, you look straight up into six meter long cords that have been hung down from the ceiling and create a state of vertigo.

Culture Camping also offers nocturnal surprises, such as bedtime stories and lullabies. You can check in between 17:00 and 22:00, and all night you can stroll around the exhibition, which also contains other works. Common to them is that you can help create and develop them.

In five neighbouring rooms, you can tighten cords from wall to wall, and on the other side of the corridor, you can build an art installation of wood, record sounds, play in sand and get the feeling of flying in a hot air balloon. During Copenhagen Jazz Festival and World Outgames, there will be special activities.

A social experiment
Culture Camping is a social experiment. What happens when eight complete strangers spend the night together in the same room? And how do they experience the works of art? Those questions will be discussed over a complimentary breakfast served on a red catwalk table the morning after.

The artist group Bosch and Fjord has created the art installation as a political statement and respond to the negative tendencies against minorities in society.
