För 10:e gången nu! 2025 är det åter dags för Konst på Kryss / Kunst på Kryds /           Art cross borders

IN ENGLISH

In 2025, the exhibitions will take place from may 10 to June 8 at Galleri Karantänen in Helsingborg and from may 3 to june 2 in Helsingør Bycenter.

Art in the Art Cross Borders / Kunst på Kryss is a collaboration with our friend association on the other side of the Sea, Kunstforeningen for Helsingør med Omegn.

Helsingborgs Konstförening and Kunstforeningen for Helsingør og Omegn began a collaboration in 2007 that we call Art Cross Borders / Kunst på Kryss. Every other year, we arrange art exhibitions on both sides of the Sea. The next exhibition is planned for spring 2025.

In this collaboration, we want to show the similarities and differences between the art of our countries. We want the participating artists to get to know each other better and gain greater knowledge and understanding of the art of the neighboring country. In this way, we strengthen the collaboration and deepen the integration between Helsingborg and Helsingør.

The basic idea is that both associations, in collaboration in different ways, select the artists that we want to present. We offer about ten Swedish and about ten Danish artists to exhibit. Five Danish and five Swedish artists exhibit in Helsingborg and the same number in Helsingör. Two different exhibitions on each side of the sea, both in terms of artists, techniques and artworks.

Our desire is to together awaken and spread interest in art in the common northern Öresund region.

PÅ DANSK

I 2025 finder udstillingerne sted 10. maj - 8. juni i Galleri Karantänen i Helsingborg og 3 maj - 2 juni i Helsingör Bycenter.

Kunst på Kryss / Kunst på Kryds er et samarbejde med vores venneforening på den anden side af Øresund, Kunstforeningen for Helsingør med Omegn.

Helsingborgs Kunstforening og Kunstforeningen for Helsingør og Omegn startede i 2007 et samarbejde, som vi kalder Konst på Kryss / Kunst på Kryds. Hvert andet år arrangerer vi kunstudstillinger på begge sider af Øresund. Næste udstilling er planlagt til foråret 2025.

I samarbejdet ønsker vi at vise ligheder og forskelle mellem vores landes kunst. Vi ønsker, at de deltagende kunstnere lærer hinanden bedre at kende og får større viden og forståelse for nabolandets kunst. På den måde styrker vi samarbejdet og uddyber integrationen mellem Helsingborg og Helsingør.

Grundtanken er, at begge foreninger i samarbejde på forskellig vis udvælger de kunstnere, som vi ønsker at præsentere. Vi tilbyder omkring ti svenske og omkring ti danske kunstnere at udstille. Fem danske og fem svenske kunstnere udstiller i Helsingborg og det samme antal i Helsingør. To forskellige udstillinger på hver side af sundet, både hvad angår kunstnere, teknikker og kunstværker.

Vores ønske er sammen at vække og udbrede interessen for kunst i den fælles nordlige Øresundsregion.

IN SWEDISH

År 2025 äger utställningarna rum 10 maj – 8 juni på Galleri Karantänen i Helsingborg och 3 maj – 2 juni i Helsingör Bycenter.

Konst på Kryss / Kunst på Kryds är ett samarbete med vår vänförening på andra sidan av Sundet, Kunstforeningen for Helsingør med Omegn. 

Helsingborgs Konstförening och Kunstforeningen for Helsingør og Omegn inledde 2007 ett samarbete som vi kallar för Konst på Kryss / Kunst på Kryds. Vartannat år arrangerar vi konstutställningar på båda sidor av Öresund. Nästa utställning är planerad till våren 2025.

I samarbetet vill vi visa upp likheter och skillnader mellan våra länders konst. Vi vill att de konstnärer som deltar ska lära känna varandra bättre och få större kunskap och förståelse för grannlandets konst. På så vis stärker vi samarbetet och fördjupar integrationen mellan Helsingborg och Helsingør.

Grundidén är att båda föreningar i samarbete på olika sätt väljer ut de konstnärer som vi vill presentera. Vi erbjuder ca tio svenska och ca tio danska konstnärer att ställa ut. Fem danska och fem svenska konstnärer ställer ut i Helsingborg och lika många i Helsingör. Två olika utställningar på var sin sida om sundet, både vad angår konstnärer, tekniker och konstverk. 

Vår önskan är att tillsammans väcka och breda ut konstintresset i den gemensamma norra Öresundsregionen.

WITH GALLERY HELSINGØR IN HELSINGØR BYCENTER, DK

In The Art Association for Helsingør and the Surrounding Area is exactly 75 years old this year, an old and fine association that we will of course celebrate with a gala dinner in May. The association has always been for both art enthusiasts and performing artists, the association continues to be so because we thought this gives the association the diversity that we have always had and that we like. We are an association where everyone has the opportunity to show their art, we almost never censor, only in very special cases like the exhibition "Art cross borders", where we always collaborate with Helsingborg Art Association - this collaboration will take place for the 10th time in 2025 - it will be exciting. So you can participate in exhibitions, tours, galleries, general meetings, etc., where you can see art and crafts together with others with a common interest. You receive "Print of the Year" at the general meeting, where you also participate in the draw for art and crafts. Here you also have the opportunity to be chosen as "Artist of the Year" or with "Picture of the Year". The Art Association for Helsingør and the surrounding area collaborates with other art associations in North Zealand and with Helsingborg Art Association.

Om / ABOUT karantânen

IN ENGLISH

ABOUT KARANTÂNEN

The quarantine is an old building that was used as an animal quarantine from 1916 until the 1980s, and the purpose was to prevent animal diseases from entering the country. The premises are on the first floor by the strait and Gröningen and since 2020 the city of Helsingborg has owned the property. Since then, it has been discussed whether the building should be demolished or preserved, and citizens have been allowed to make suggestions as to what it can be used for. Recently, it became clear that Helsingborg's art association rents the premises for a year for exhibitions by mainly local artists. During your visit, the art association will tell you about its activities and show you the current exhibition.

The quarantine is located on a very large triangular plot where, in addition to the gallery, there are also small eateries, a playground and amusement park, grass and parking right by the water in the north of Helsingborg. The location is in Helsingborg Nord, where the city's rich live. It is developing into something really good. A kind of small Swedish Langelinie where the Swedes meet in families to eat food, look at art and eat an ice cream during the summer. With this winter exhibition, we will see how the Swedes use the place in the winter at Christmas time.

FIND YOUR WAY TO GALLERY KARANTÂNEN FROM DENMARK

Outside Helsingborg Central, where the large Öresundslinjen Danmark ferriboat sails from, and on the opposite side of the large road in front of the department store, take bus 8 towards Hittarp. The return ticket can be bought from machines in the entrance hall on the ground floor where the ferry sails on the 2nd floor.

You get off the bus 2 stops later at Tågagatan. Walk towards the water. The quarantine is by the water and you drive past there on the bus and you can see it. So if you go back a little, it is there. There are signs and flags on the house with Helsingborg Art Association's logo on it.
