Bachelor Graduation Exhibition

This year's bachelor exhibition chose a symbol over words for its title.  A diverse mix of 27 artistic practices will be exhibited for one week, spread around the Art Academy in Bergen. The kissing smiley with kind eyes is an invitation; a light, unpretentious embrace. Come closer, we are happy that you are here with us. Please look at the artworks as the smiley looks at you: with an open mind.
