Mads Lynnerup's project Routines (Sønder Boulevard) documents the recurring routines of individuals living in the neighborhood near a central street in Copenhagen, Denmark. For over four weeks the artist observed the various daily routines of the area's residents, took notes and began making drawings of his observations. The resulting series of ten posters is on view in this exhibition. For example, one of the posters depicts a pencil drawing of two women on a cigarette break outside of a shop, and the text below describes how they take at least one break together every day. During the project's original exhibition, posters were also installed in various locations around Sønder Boulevard. Lynnerup complements the poster series with an eponymous video, which is screened at Anthology Film Archives as part of the exhibition video program.
