In connection with Copenhagen Cooking 2024, Nikolaj Kunsthal invites you to a Thursday bar on the 22nd of August. Chef Jonas Harboe Frederiksen will set up a temporary oyster bar outside on Nikolaj Plads and bring the perfect bubbly match; a petnat created in collaboration with Æblerov. The event will be held in collaboration with the Theatre Museum in Hofteatret and Copenhagen' s Cultural District.

About Nikolaj Kunsthal
At the centre of Copenhagen, on one of the city’s oldest squares, lies Nikolaj Kunsthal, which has been functioning as the city’s art centre since 1981. In a unique historical setting, Nikolaj Kunsthal continuously presents new contemporary art – usually site-specific and with a local angle or a special relationship to the city’s vibrant art scene. The art centre is also a meeting place – both for the city’s art and culture-interested citizens and for Copenhagen’s professional art environments. Today, the beautiful architecture is part of ongoing interaction with changing exhibitions – from e.g. HuskMitNavn’s playful and satirical expression to Radar Contemporary’s preoccupation with digital art. From Ditte Ejlerskov’s cultic oxytocin escape room to Nikoline Liv Andersen’s textile staging of fertility and motherhood. Some international names also sneak into the programme from time to time – most recently e.g. photo exhibitions by David Lynch and Tova Mozard.

About Chef Jonas Harboe Frederiksen
‘My biggest inspiration is nature. I work according to the philosophy that we should keep the earth green and sustainable. Oysters are beautiful, but the invasive species gigas threatens biodiversity. Just by eating oysters, we can do nature a favour. After my oysters are served, the shells are used to create unique plates and platters where I serve new oysters.’
- Jonas Harboe Frederiksen, Pink Oyster
