GORDON, Melissa; MELZACKA, Alicja
Portals

This zine, that was published in conjunction with Melissa Gordon’s exhibition Portals at Beige, Brussels, gathers:

• an essay by Alicja Melzacka that discusses what can be the “right language” to write about/nearby painting; composed in relation with Gordon’s show, and in conversation with the artist, the text notably deals with the “weird” that abstraction may invoke or create;

• an essay by Gordon, which echoes Melzacka’s text and further discusses the notion of the unknown; 

• the transcript of a conversation between Gordon and fellow painter R. H. Quaytman, that happened in the context of Portals; 

• last but not least, documentation of the show!
