Oslo-based gallery OSL contemporary presents an exhibition featuring new works by Vanessa Baird, titled 'I Can Get Back Down to the End of the Town and Be Back in Time for Tea'.
One of the most distinct voices in Norwegian contemporary art, Baird’s work is storytelling of a kind that is both potently provocative and emphatically individual, deducing from a wide range of references from her own lived experiences, as well as from Scandinavian folklore and literature. Whether surreal or narrative, her intense and detailed drawings are often perceived as controversial, regularly commenting on contemporary political and social affairs and observations from personal domestic realities. The show comprises two series of charged creations, made in pastel and watercolour.
Through November, No.9 Cork Street will host pop-up shows including Brazilian Modern Design from Ulysses De Santi, as well as solo exhibitions from Various Small Fires (Los Angeles, Dallas, Seoul), Ross-Sutton Gallery (New York), and OSL Contemporary (Oslo).
