With artists Michael O´Donnell, Sigmund da Silva Lien, Ragnhild Steig Svenningsen and Jan Valentin Sæther.
NØRWÅY - Nationality and Identity- features artworks by four highly regarded contemporary Norwegian Artists. The somewhat strange title of this exhibition is made by the artists by taking the english translation of 'Norge' and adding two of the 'strange' letters in the Norwegian alphabet, Ø and Å. What does it mean to be a Norwegian abroad? What makes Norwegian Norwegian? These are some of the themes the artists; Michael O´Donnell, Sigmund da Silva Lien, Ragnhild Steig Svenningsen and Jan Valentin Sæther reflects in their artworks.
The Trygve Lie Gallery is named to honor the first Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Opening Reception Thursday, May 12 from 6 - 8 pm. The exhibition will be opened by Terje Rød-Larsen, President of the International Peace Acedemy of New York and Special Envoy for the UN Secretary General.
