Kunsthall Oslo is very pleased to present Vital Signs, Melissa Gordon’s first solo exhibition in Norway. Gordon reframes the history of modernist painting as a series of conversations about representation and power that are played out both on the painted surface and in real, physical space. For the exhibition Vital Signs, Gordon refers in particular to the histories of four female artists: Helen Frankenthaler, Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Agnes Martin and Janet Sobel.
