SUMMARY:Edvard Munch's Photography: The Experimental Self
DESCRIPTION:The Experimental Self: Edvard Munch’s Photography\, an exhibition organized by American-Scandinavian Foundation with The Munch Museum in Oslo that first brought the photographic work of the master painter to NYC in 2017/18 before traveling worldwide\, returns to Scandinavia House this winter with a newly conceived design and a section including vintage camera equipment alongside the release of the 2020 illustrated book The Experimental Self: The Photography of Edvard Munch\, awarded with diploma as one of The Year’s Most Beautiful Books\, 2021 by Grafill\, Norway’s National Organization for Visual Communication. \nInternationally celebrated for his paintings\, prints\, and watercolors\, Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863–1944) also took photographs. In 2017/18\, the exhibition The Experimental Self: Edvard Munch’s Photography at Scandinavia House drew widespread acclaim for introducing audiences to his photographic and film work\, emphasizing the artist’s experimentalism and examining his exploration of the camera as an expressive medium. This exhibition includes Munch’s experimental portraiture of friends and family as well as his self-portraiture\, including images from what he termed his “Fatal Destiny” portfolio\, staged between 1902 and 1908. By probing and exploiting the dynamics of “faulty” practice\, such as distortion\, blurred motion\, eccentric camera angles\, and other photographic “mistakes\,” Munch photographed himself and his immediate environment in ways that rendered them poetic. In both still images and in his few forays with a hand-held moving-picture camera\, Munch not only archived images\, but invented them. As a recent Financial Times Magazine review of the works states\, “Munch’s mercurial snapshots trace the survival of an artist obsessed with loss… his photographs remain tantalisingly opaque a century on.” \nHaving since traveled to eight venues worldwide\, including Seattle\, Oslo\, Stockholm\, Fredrikssund (Denmark)\, and Bergen\, the exhibition will be returning to Scandinavia House beginning December 10 in a new iteration\, including photographic enlargements and a display of the amateur camera models similar to those he used in his work. The exhibition will also feature a “selfie station” for visitors to interact with Edvard Munch’s experimental self-portraiture\, as well as the opportunity to browse the new publication\, which includes 120 fully illustrated pages alongside essays by curator Patricia G. Berman\, Tom Gunning and MaryClaire Pappas\, available for purchase in the Shop. On loan from the Munch Museum in Oslo\, Norway\, the approximately 50 copy prints in the exhibition and a continuous projection of Munch’s films will be accompanied by contextualizing didactic panels as well as a video presentation. It has been organized by the American-Scandinavian Foundation in partnership with The Munch Museum in Oslo\, Norway. It has been supported by the Inger and William Ginsberg Support Fund.

SUMMARY:CELEBRATE LASKIAINEN WITH SCANDINAVIA HOUSE!
DESCRIPTION:On March 1 at 11 AM\, celebrate Laskiainen with Scandinavia House Online in a virtual event with Ida Metsberg! \nLaskiainen (Shrovetide) is often described as a “mid-winter sliding festival”. Associated with Shrove Tuesday\, it is a celebration of the beginning of Lent that takes place before Easter\, but includes both pagan and ecclesiastic traditions. These days\, Finns generally observe two days of this festival: Laskiaissunday (Shrove Sunday) and Laskiaistuesday (Shrove Tuesday). Laskiaissunday is often a family day full of sledding\, ice-skating\, cross-country and downhill skiing; on Laskiaistuesday\, people flock to the nearest hill after work or school. After a day of sledding\, Finns enjoy the beloved Shrovetide bun\, the laskiaispulla\, a sweet pastry filled with almond paste or strawberry jam and lashings of whipped cream. \n\n\nJoin Finnish singer Ida Metsberg as she shows you how to make your very own laskiaispulla\, while sharing her own childhood memories of Laskiainen/Shrovetide! \nThis event will take place as a virtual premiere on this page at 11 AM ET on March 1 via YouTube and Facebook. It will remain available to stream on this page through Sunday\, March 6. Please check back to this page for viewing links and to set reminders to watch. \nLaskiainen/Shrovetide is meant for people of all ages and all walks of life.  Should you happen to be in Finland during Laskiainen\, we wish you a Slippery Shrovetide with perfect snow and sunny skies — and don’t forget to have pea soup and a laskiaispulla bun!

SUMMARY:Quake Book Talk with Auður Jónsdóttir & Meg Matich
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk on March 1 with Icelandic author Auður Jónsdóttir and translator Meg Matich on the new novel Quake\, out on February 8 from Dottir Press! This event will take place at Scandinavia House at 7 PM ET and will also be live-streamed to virtual audiences. \nNominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize\, Quake: A Novel is a haunting novel-in-translation about Saga\, a woman who comes to after an epileptic seizure on a sidewalk along busy Miklabraut Street. Her three-year-old son is gone. The last thing she remembers is a double-decker bus that no one else can confirm seeing. Over the following days\, Saga’s mind is beset by memories and doubts. What happened before her seizure? Who can she trust? And how can she make any sense of her emotions when her memory is so fragmented? \nThe English-language debut of award-winning and prolific Icelandic author Auður Jónsdóttir\, as translated by Meg Matich\, Quake is a shocking and revelatory exploration of the blurred lines between fact and fiction\, reality and imagination\, and where mother ends and child begins. It has now been adapted into a 2021 film directed by Tinna Hrafnsdóttir\, which premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. \nJónsdóttir and Matich will discuss the writing and translation of the novel in Volvo Hall. Registration is required for attendance at Scandinavia House; sign up at the link above. Details on watching the discussion virtually will be added here closer to the date. \n“Part mystery\, part family drama\, part children-in-peril narrative\, the novel offers a hectic\, heart-thudding\, sometimes claustrophobic portrait of panicked inner turmoil”—Kirkus Reviews \n“Jónsdóttir’s powerful story of memory\, identity\, and the legacy of violence\, her English-language debut\, chronicles a woman’s recovery from an epileptic seizure… The limited perspective and acute sense of the narrator’s pain\, both ingeniously rendered\, make this unforgettable”—Publishers Weekly \nAbout the Author\nAuður Jónsdóttir is one of the most accomplished authors writing in Icelandic today. She won the Icelandic Literary Prize for The People in the Basement and the Icelandic Women’s Literature Prize for Secretaries to the Spirits. Both of these novels were nominated for the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize. \nAuður comes by her prolificity naturally\, as she is the granddaughter of Halldór Laxness\, winner of the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature and a major figure in reviving the Icelandic literary tradition. \nAbout the Translator\nMeg Matich is a poet and translator in Reykjavík. She earned her Master’s of Fine Arts from Columbia University and has received support for her work from the Banff Centre\, PEN America\, and the Fulbright Commission\, and she is a frequent collaborator with Reykjavík UNESCO. \nAmong other projects\, Meg has collaborated with poet Magnús Sigurðsson on an anthology of Icelandic poetry\, translated a book of essays in honor of former President Vigdís Finnbogadóttir\, and translated the 2021 novel Magma. Meg is one of a few immigrants in the Icelandic Writers’ Union and considers that membership quintessential to her life in Iceland.
