NOoSPHERE Arts presents The Unbearable Richness of Gray, a group exhibit showcasing six Norwegian female artists contemplating the 100-year anniversary of Women Suffrage in Norway. Opening Reception Oct 4, 6-8pm
The Unbearable Richness of Grafy is a collaborative exhibition initiated by visual artists Roghieh Asgari Torvund and Elisabeth Medbøe. The show includes works by six Oslo-based artists, all women. Despite their different backgrounds and life experiences, they share a common ground, each contributing with their perspectives on and interpretations of different social and political aspects of the diverse world they are a part of.
This year marks 100 years of universal suffrage in Norway where women gained the same democratic right as men. In the span of these hundred years, Norwegian women have taken very different political positions in society, representing different values and attitudes to social co-existence and change. But one thing is certain: the fruits of the struggle for universal rights in Norway are not given and must continuously be reappropriated. The Unbearable Richness of Gray addresses different realms of relevance and social engagement. The exhibition aims to encourage the viewer to take the long route rather than the shortcut and to prompt further involvement and questioning.
