At CHART 2023, we were delighted to present a talk between the visual artist Giorgio Celin and Zippora Elders, Chief Curator and Head of the Curatorial Department & Outreach at Gropius Bau in Berlin. The conversation was recorded live at Charlottenborg and occasionally refers to a visual presentation featuring images of the solo presentation that Celin was exhibiting with NEVVEN as part of the art fair.
Beginning with the artist’s personal history and movement from Colombia to rural Italy as a young child, the conversation went on to consider the role of intimacy and autobiography in painting as well as the importance of mentors, and the relationship between movement and queerness.
Giorgio Celin is a Barcelona-based visual artist whose vibrant figurative paintings stem from his idiosyncratic lived experiences, fantasies and memories. Characterised by bold figures and vivid colours, the artist’s canvases effortlessly capture, and offer an alternative narrative to, the stories of the Latinx diaspora.

At CHART 2023, we were delighted to present a talk between the painter Leo Park and Markús Þór Andrésson, Chief Curator of Exhibitions and Public Engagement at Reykjavík Art Museum, Iceland. The conversation was recorded live at Charlottenborg where Leo Park was exhibiting a solo presentation of new paintings with Gallery Steinsland Berliner as part of the art fair.
Starting off by talking about the legacy of modernist painting and sculpture in contemporary art, the conversation went on to consider the significance of tattoos in visual culture, the tradition of Swedish beach scene paintings and the artist's interest in horror films.
Leo Park is a Stockholm-based painter. Using a distinctly contemporary form of expression, Park delves into art history to fuse traditional imagery with modern references and sensibilities, in a playful search for new perspectives relating to the tradition of painting. The results are oil paintings that pay homage to legendary artists, while still appearing decidedly fresh.

At CHART 2023, we were delighted to present a talk between Ragnar Kjartansson and Tine Colstrup, Curator at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, where Kjartansson’s work was the subject of a large-scale retrospective exhibition at the time.
Ragnar Kjartansson is an artist who lives and works in Reykjavík, Iceland. An underlying sense of pathos and irony connect all of Kjartansson’s works, as the artist blurs the distinctions between mediums, approaching his painting practice as performance, likening his films to paintings, and his performances to sculpture. Throughout, Kjartansson conveys an interest in beauty and its banality, and he uses durational, repetitive performance as a form of exploration.
