The Danish Design Council has recently taken part in the organisation of the “New Danish Modern” exhibition in Aarhus. The event, which took place from the 13th to the 21st October 2017 at the ‘O’ Space exhibition gallery of Aarhus, included talks, workshops and master classes.

The exhibit featured a showcase of all past “Design Council Annual Award” winners and the Council´s project “The Danish Design DNA.” The event was organised with the overall goal to give a comprehensive perspective on Danish design, celebrating its great history and exploring what the future generation of Danish designers may bring about.

“New Danish Modern” was curated by Design Denmark and Business by Design, and developed in collaboration with design organizations, companies and educational institutions throughout the country.

‘O’ Space is a contemporary art and video exhibition gallery opened as part of the initiative Aarhus 2017 – European Capital of Culture. During the year, several works by both local and international artists will be displayed here.
