O—Overgaden is one of the leading non-profit art institutions in Denmark with an irreverent program of emerging local and international voices in contemporary art, displaying around eight grand-scale exhibitions each year from its position in the heart of Copenhagen. Beyond the major solo shows, O—Overgaden’s program spans a breadth of climactic concerts, populated parlors, performances, book talks, workshop sessions, and film screenings. Established in 1986 and situated by a canal in one of central Copenhagen’s historic neighborhoods, O—Overgaden occupies two large floors of a 19th-century building that used to house a printing workshop.

O—Overgaden is an independent institution whose principal supporter is the Danish Arts Foundation. O—Overgaden’s board consists of Mikkel Bogh (chair), director of The National Gallery of Denmark; Ruth Campau, artist; Jane Jin Kaisen, artist; Ebbe Stub Wittrup, artist; Matias Møl Dalsgaard, CEO, GoMore; Helle Brøns, Curator, Sorø Art Museum; and Ieben Christiensen, lawyer, M/S2 Holden ApS. Board members rotate every so many years.
