> A U-TURN for contemporary art
>
> The focal point of the quadrennial is the notion of the U-TURN as a  
> movement and a radical change of direction. Art stands in a dynamic  
> relation to changes in contemporary culture, and it is in itself an  
> expression of cultural processes. With U-TURN sights can be set in  
> new directions – offering a new outlook for the audience and new  
> insights into critical cultural self-awareness.
>
> The main exhibition in the Carlsberg Brewery area between Vesterbro  
> and Valby will be hosted in a 4,000 m2 bottling hall. Together with  
> Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Centre, this constitutes an  
> exhibition area of over 5,000 m2. In close collaboration with  
> Nikolaj Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center, there will be a solo  
> exhibition by the Danish artist Jesper Just at this venue. Among  
> other works, he will present the premiere of a new work which has  
> been produced in collaboration with U-TURN is specially made for  
> Nikolaj CCAC.
>
> More than 10 new works and installations will also be exhibited in  
> public spaces around Copenhagen. These will include Olafur Eliasson  
> exhibiting at the City Hall Square, Dan Perjovschi drawing on  
> Sønder Boulevard and the artist group Parfyme developing an  
> alternative harbour plan for Copenhagen Harbour.
>
> In addition to the exhibitions of the quadrennial, U-TURN is  
> initiating an ambitious international collaboration, Opening Hours,
