Go check out a good selection of Denmark’s unestablished and uncensored young contemporary artists at Galore. The days will be filled with both painting, installation, street art, drawings, experimental music and film screenings.

Activities will take place both inside, outside, up, down and in every possible corner. At Toftegårds Plads you can also participate in workshops: Thursday and Friday, you can redesign your furniture and Saturday, come pimp your bike.

This is the third time Galore takes place and this year about 100 artists are participating. Experience for instance the graffiti and street art collective called The Nom Nom Collective, which among others include the Danish street artists Lints.

Once again it’s time for the annual celebration of art and music put together in one big lovely package of genuine respect for the artists who dare to challenge.

The Trailerpark festival organized and produced by Artrebels is already known for its charming ability to master the difficult art of balancing between experimental artistic expressions and music and dj features.

So sit tight and enjoy sweetness from Danish artists like Vinnie Who, Fallulah and Chimes & Bells, Prinzhorn Danceschool from UK or German djs like DJ Hell and Krause Duo among others.

With a mixed constellation of both Copenhagener and international artists the Artrebels crew will show you that vibrant and colorful expression has much to say.

Are colors the new black? Decide for yourself during the last weekend of July. We look forward to say hello to all of you!

This is the opening night for one month of urban summer activites around Copenhagen. Come for some nice beats, cheap beers and check out all the activities the agency has for you this summer. And just bring your friends.

Rumkammerat, who are also the ones organizing Urban Treasure Hunt, will during summer be transformed into an urban activity agency to offer you a variety of alternative activities designed for the urban environment.

For instance you can go play the urban image bingo, be a local for one day, hunt for photo works – in total there are 11 alternative urban activities to choose from arranged by different artists.

The agency will be running until 14 August. Some of the activities will take place at certain times and places, and others you will be able to do whenever it suits you – and they are free of charge.

Well done Rumkammerat!

If you are into digital art and music and the use of new media, then visit Re-New to see what potentials and limitations there are in the interaction between man and machine. It is entertaining, fun and weird – just as we like it!

This geeky experimentarium is a niche of art operating in the field between play, art and research. You can meet artists, programmers and djs which have all contributed to the festival.

Live-acts includes names such as Mikkel Meyer and the duo Manzolli and Traldi, who will perform a concert from sensory movements with their hands.

If you are in for some cultural treats, this is the right place to be! Students from creative schools and academies around the country are gathering to break down the boundaries between different art forms. Sounds like something we would like.

You can experience everything from art works and installations to acting, music and other live-performances. Different genres will unfurl and challenge the stereotypical notion of what art can do.

Also, you can just relax your senses and treat yourself with some delicacies from Riccos, Letz Sushi and Gelato Siciliano.

As part of Copenhagen Photo Festival you will have the chance to join a symposium where you can start a debate with eight of the artists who are participating in the main exhibition of the festival.

The theme of the debate will mainly be focusing on the status of photography within both media and art between fiction and documentation so you can probably expect lots of topics within this field to be turned upside down.

During the symposium you will also have a rare opportunity to meet all eight photographers who will be presenting their work, ready to discuss theory and practice. So come and join the debate and take a look at some of the most interesting photos of today and meet the people behind the images.

To join the event just send an email to conference@copenhagenphotofestival.com
