Join us at O—Overgaden when we start the new season with exhibitions by Helene Nymann (DK) and Marie Kølbæk Iversen (DK). The evening will feature a performance by Kølbæk Iversen, exhibition introduction and reading by Nymann, and music by DJ Paydar.

Both exhibitions will unfold the artists’ ongoing PhD projects as large-scale solo shows. O—Overgaden wishes to show how artistic research engages with the world and how it can contribute to highly relevant scientific knowledge. Enjoy two sensuous and thought-provoking exhibitions that question our collective experiences, our notions of time and views of nature – on a planet in ecological crisis inhabited by humans with widely different senses of reality.
