Mads Lynnerup captures Copenhagen's routine.

Danish artist Mads Lynnerups Routines is one half of the summer exhibition in the Nelson Gallery. The other half is the Black Market Type & Print Shop.

Routines is based on the four weeks that Lynnerup spent observing people and their routines in the area around Sønder Boulevard, a central street in Copenhagen. Using his notes and drawings, he produced 10 posters and a video.

The Black Market Type & Print Shop offers visitors the opportunity to work with more than 30 type fonts copied from the artwork of internationally known artists. These letterforms have been scanned and converted into computer fonts, and the public can use them for free.

The two-part exhibition is scheduled to run through Aug. 14 at the Nelson, 124 Art Building.

In conjunction with these two poster-based projects, the Nelson is showing a selection of the gallery’s holdings of 20th-century placards, through Sept. 6, in the Entryway Gallery, 125 Art Building.

Nelson Gallery and Entryway hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment on Sundays.
