Guysgocrazy tonight at Overgarden Institute of Contemporary Art (DK)

Friday 24 July 2009, 5-10pm: Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art invites you to the opening of the week exhibition LYST. (Performance by the Polish artist Wojciech Kosma at 7pm and afterwards a conceptuel DJ set by Lars Erik Frank aka DJ Leffe).

Thursday 30 July 2009, 6-10pm: Overgaden invites you to a seminar and performance with the title Flowery Cankers – Beautiful Objects in Photography.

Lyst is the Danish word for lust or desire and it is the title of a short and intensive exhibition of contemporary art. LYST is put together idiosyncratically and by way of desire and contains local darlings as well as international superstars. Around 30 artists show artworks that all touch upon and tangle notions of desire, lust and the sexy. The title LYST is taken from the Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek's novel from 1989.
The exhibition doesn’t pay much attention to the artwork as such and may contain xeroxes, texts, zines etc. alongside works on paper, photography, video and performance. A number of events, film screenings, actions, tea parties and discussions will take place during the exhibition period.
The exhibition is curated by Tomas Lagermand Lundme and Mathias Kryger and will run during the World Outgames, which are held in Copenhagen. The ambition is to make a lustful, ready to burst bubble of serious and high in quality contemporary art. During the exhibition period Overgaden will extend it's opening hours.
