Please join us on Tuesday 20 February, 6-8pm for the launch of Vital Signs: Writings on Gesture by Melissa Gordon published by Occasional Papers. The event will include a performative reading by Melissa, followed by a pub quiz on female genius.
Vital Signs brings together recent writings by artist, organiser and publisher Melissa Gordon, which she has performed live over the past decade. Focusing on the role and behaviour of gesture in her practice and that of others, Gordon’s texts move between topics of dropping out, female genius, con jobs, how one ‘speaks’ in painting, and notions of ‘suckcess’.
