Description

A series of informal phone conversations between Oslo Kunstforening's exhibiting artists and Martin White. We've reached out to ask them what they're thinking about, how they or their loved ones have been impacted by Covid-19 and we discuss the future of art-making in these new conditions. We reach out and ask 'Are You OK?'. Oslo Kunstforening (OK) is an art gallery that displays and disseminates exhibits and communicates contemporary art. OK was founded in 1836 and was Norway’s first exhibition space.
