Walker Art Center opens major exhibition of Sophie Calle, featuring iconic bodies of work and lesser-known pieces

MINNEAPOLIS, MN.- The Walker Art Center opened Sophie Calle: Overshare, the first North American exhibition to explore the full range of the artist’s practice across the past five decades. Through examples of major bodies of work as well as lesser-known pieces, the exhibition captures the ways in which Calle’s early work anticipated the rise of social media as a space to shape and present lived experience. The exhibition features photography, text-based works, video, and installations, highlighting the artist’s efforts to probe the boundaries between public and private; truth and fiction; control and chance. Overshare is the first large-scale exhibition to engage North American audiences with the significance of Calles’ recurring themes, and to capture their ongoing relevance to contemporary experiences and dialogues about our digitally mediated world.
