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:The Earth is Blue as an Orange
DESCRIPTION:Beginning March 11\, in celebration of the Day of Restoration of Lithuania’s Independence and in support of Ukraine’s fight for freedom and sovereignty\, Scandinavian House and the Consulate General of Lithuania in New York present virtual screenings of Iryna Tsilyk’s The Earth is Blue as an Orange. A joint Ukrainian-Lithuanian production about family and filmmaking within a war zone\, the film has been recently hailed as “a documentary in which the roles of filmmaker\, viewer and subject are as inextricably fused as life and art” (Variety). Virtual screenings will be accompanied by an in-house presentation in Victor Borge Hall on Saturday\, March 12; click here for details. Virtual screenings of this film are available in the U.S. only. \nSingle mother Anna and her four children live in the front-line war zone of Donbas\, Ukraine. While the outside world is made up of bombings and chaos\, the family manage to keep their home as a safe haven\, full of life and full of light. Every member of the family has a passion for cinema\, motivating them to shoot a film inspired by their own life during a time of war. The creative process raises the question of what kind of power the magical world of cinema could have during times of disaster. How can we picture war through fiction? For Anna and the children\, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human. (Ukraine\, 2020. 74 min. In Ukrainian with English subtitles) \nVirtual Screenings will take place from March 11 through 18\, and will be available for viewing on a virtual cinema screening platform throughout this period. To download viewing instructions and an FAQ\, please click here. \n \nAbout the Director\nWriter/Director Iryna Tsilyk graduated from Kyiv National University of Theatre\, Cinematography and Television named by Karpenko-Kary in TV directing in 2005.

SUMMARY:For the Love of Cod
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with author Eric Dregni on The Love of Cod: A Father and Son’s Search for Norwegian Happiness\, out April 27\, 2022 from University of Minnesota Press! In this discussion\, Dregni will discuss his journey to find Norway’s supposed bliss\, explored within the novel’s comic travelogue. \nNorway is usually near or at the top of the World Happiness Report. But is it really one of the happiest countries on Earth? Eric Dregni had his doubts. Years ago he and his wife had lived in this country his great-great-grandfather once fled; when their son Eilif was born there\, the Norwegian government paid for the birth\, gave them $5\,000\, and deposited $500 into their bank account every month. But surely happiness was more than a generous health care system; what about all those grim months without sun? When Eilif turned 15\, father and son decided to go back together and investigate. Arriving in May\, a month of festivals and eternal sun\, they are thrust into Norway at its merriest—and into the reality of the astronomical cost of living\, which forces them to find lodging with friends and relatives. But this gives them an inside look at the secrets to a better life\, as locals introduce them to the principles underlying their avowed contentment\, from an active environmentalism that translates into flyskam (flight shame) to a passion for dugnad (community volunteerism) and sakte or “slow” — a rejection of the mad pace of modernity — to the commodification of Viking history and the dark side of Black Metal music that turns the idea of quaint\, traditional Norway upside down. \nIn this idiosyncratic father-and-son tour\, readers will see how\, or whether\, Norwegian happiness translates. \nThis program will take place in-person in Volvo Hall; RSVP required. Attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. \n\n“Eric Dregni is the best kind of tour guide\, bringing to life a country vis-à-vis its people\, its (sometimes odd) customs\, and its places. Brew some kaffe\, get koselig (cozy)\, and settle in to do some armchair traveling to Norway. It’s a trip you’ll be lykkelig (happy) to take”—Lorna Landvik\, author of Chronicles of a Radical Hag (with Recipes) \n\n“Honest\, funny\, and down to earth\, For the Love of Cod is an eye-opening look at how Norway discovered the key to real happiness”—Foreword Reviews \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nEric Dregni is author of 20 books\, including Vikings in the Attic\, Weird Minnesota\, and Let’s Go Fishing! As a Fulbright Fellow to Norway\, he survived a dinner of rakfisk (fermented fish) thanks to 80-proof aquavit\, took the “meat bus” to Sweden for cheap salami with a crowd of knitting pensioners\, and compiled his stories in In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream. \nHe wrote about living in Modena\, Italy\, in Never Trust a Thin Cook and Other Lessons from Italy’s Culinary Capital. He is professor of English\, journalism\, and Italian at Concordia University in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, and in the summer\, he is director of the Italian Concordia Language Village\, an experience he wrote about in You’re Sending Me Where? He lives in Minneapolis.
