Previous events
Event: Music compositions
Dates: 10 Nov 2023 - 8 Dec 2023
The exhibition Music Compositions shows a new series of works created by George Koutsouris, during his residency at the Danish Art Workshops in August – October 2023.
In these complex wall sculptures, various wood pieces coexist with numerous overlapping strings, creating ‘abstract’ three-dimensional paintings/reliefs that refer to musical instruments and musical symbols.
Event: Design without borders
Dates: 15 Oct 2023 - 26 Nov 2023
International sound object exhibition
Event: Nature Symphony
Dates: 17 Sep 2022 - 27 Nov 2022
The solo exhibition Nature Symphony was a total installation triggered by mechanical sound sculptures. An unpredictable soundscape of the movements from the wind, water, and plants was waving through Møstings’ high-ceilinged rooms.
Koutsouris has been inspired by the movements and sounds of nature, and with this exhibition, he examined human’s relationship with nature by questioning our increasing need for control in an otherwise uncontrollable world.
With Nature Symphony, Koutsouris invited us on a journey full of contrasts. While the audience might thought that they were listening to the trickling of water in the stream or the rustling of leaves in the wind, they saw something completely different.
Event: Spor af Niels Bohr
Dates: 29 Apr 2022 - 7 Aug 2022
100 years anniversary of Niels Bohr’s Nobel Prize - Physicist and Philosopher (father of Quantum Mechanics).

Haster
Event: Alex in Wonderland II
Dates: 20 Nov 2020 - 31 Mar 2021
Unpredictable events have drastically altered our circumstances and the world, as we know it, is no longer there. The new normal is well outside everyone’s comfort zone, appearing almost surreal. It feels as if we are part of a bizarre fairy tale, anxiously bargaining for a happy end.
In the face of chaos, artistic activity has not ceased. Artists continue doing what they know best: capturing emotions and creating dreams without employing words, using their images to give us all the kiss of life.
Event: Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling (The Artists’ Autumn Exhibition)
Dates: 3 Nov 2018 - 18 Nov 2018
The Artists' Autumn Exhibition (KE) is a censored exhibition for contemporary art.
The Artists Autumn Exhibition was formed in 1900 as an alternative to Charlottenborg's Spring Exhibition, which at that time only accepted works by academy students. Since 1900, the Autumn Exhibition has lived as a democratic measure and a door opener to the professional art world, since everyone can have their works professionally art-professionally judged regardless of network and background.
Event: MFA graduation show - The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts
Dates: 12 Apr 2018 - 25 May 2018
I participated in this prestigious graduation show with my large interactive sculpture-installation 'A strangers attractor'.
The work consists of an oval-shaped, dome-like chamber, with a multiple sound-echo system built-in, and long pipes that spread out of it and occupy different spaces at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

Event: The Spring Exhibition
Dates: 3 Feb 2017 - 11 Mar 2017
The Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition is one of the most important open submission exhibitions in Northern Europe, and has been held annually at Charlottenborg in Copenhagen since 1857. The Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition originated as an exhibition showing new works by Danish artists but now features participants from many countries. The exhibition is organised by the Charlottenborg Foundation and its board, consisting of Thomas Lindvig (visual artist), Peter Møller Rasmussen (architect), Cathrine Raben Davidsen (visual artist), Søren Rønholt (photographer), Annette Dam (jewelry artist) and Christina Augustesen (visual artist).
