Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art presents Mary Coble. Maneuvering

Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art presents Mary Coble: Maneuvering, an exhibition on view 16.06.2012 – 05.08.2012.

Mary Coble, Watermarks (video still), 2012, created in co-operation with Blithe Riley

In this solo exhibition Mary Coble (b. 1978) links recent video and sound pieces with a new installation and a live performance to occur the night of the opening that in various ways manifest problems of bodily, social, and symbolical navigation. While each piece engages with different approaches to performance, all the work is marked with a physicality that ultimately gives way for an opportunity of discovery. The performative actions explore and push the boundaries of codes, routes and rules and problematize the limitations of social norms, expectations and progress.

Established in 1986 by a group of local artists, Overgaden has for more than two decades been among the leading non-profit exhibition spaces for contemporary art in Copenhagen. Situated by a canal in one of central Copenhagen’s most historic neighbourhoods, Overgaden occupies two large floors of a 19th century building which used to house a printing works.
