Chart Art Fair 2026: Copenhagen

CHART Art Fair 2026

Gallery Gudmundsdottir, Berlin, participates in CHART Art Fair 2026 with works by Endre Aalrust and Icelandic Love Corporation, bringing together two distinct practices that engage the body, identity and the structures through which experience is shaped and understood.

Endre Aalrust works across painting, sculpture and installation, creating psychologically charged environments in which familiar forms become unstable. His works often combine figurative elements with distorted bodies, fragmented narratives and unexpected material encounters. Balancing humour, discomfort and vulnerability, Aalrust’s practice explores the tensions between the intimate and the performative, the individual and the social. His work resists fixed interpretation, instead creating spaces where bodily experience and emotional states remain fluid and unresolved.

Icelandic Love Corporation presents Written in Blood, a body of watercolour works addressing menopause as a rite of passage. After centuries of medical research, scientific classification, feminist discourse and self-organised knowledge production around the female body, menopause remains surrounded by silence and cliché. The project proposes a shift in perspective: from deficit to transformation, from invisibility to ceremony.

At CHART, the collective introduces a performative gesture within the framework of the works: women who have completed menopause are awarded a diploma, marking the transition as an achievement rather than a loss. Through subtle humour and expressive, fluid imagery, Written in Blood opens a space for reflection on cycles, endings and post-reproductive futures. Menopause is framed not as decline, but as a moment of agency, experience and renewed visibility.

Together, the presentation reflects Gallery Gudmundsdottir’s commitment to research-driven practices that approach contemporary social narratives through distinctive visual languages, formal precision and conceptual clarity.
