Kunsthal Charlottenborg's 'Europa Endlos' Examines EU's Future Through Art

The group exhibition 'Europa Endlos' at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen explores the European Union's current sociopolitical tensions through installations and conceptual works. The show features thousands of copies of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights stacked as an installation, alongside posters opposing the 1992 Maastricht Treaty from Denmark. Works by Jeremy Deller (colorful T-shirts), Olafur Eliasson (a compass metaphor for navigating uncertain European elections), and Wolfgang Tillmans (pro-EU campaign materials) address Brexit and European identity. Sara Jordenö's 'Diamond People' documents the closure of a synthetic diamond factory in Robertsfors, Sweden, highlighting globalization's impact. Jimmie Durham's 'In Europe' presents 39 photographs capturing European locales, while Fischli & Weiss display airport photos from Amsterdam, Berlin, and London as transit zones. Monica Bonvicini's 'Scale of Things (to come)' replicates a Greek amphitheater section, symbolizing democracy and uncertain futures. Daniil Galkin's installation forces visitors through turnstiles, evoking border control claustrophobia. The exhibition runs until August 11, 2019.
