The exhibition Inside Out shows fifty-one works by nineteen artists of major international standing from Norway and abroad. There are paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures. What the works have in common is that they all depict heads – portraits and self-portraits, honest and authentic – that clearly show the inside on the outside – Inside Out.
