SUMMARY:EVIL FLOWERS
DESCRIPTION:This February\, join us for a book talk with award-winning Norwegian writer Gunnhild Øyehaug on her new book Evil Flowers. With moderator Catherine Lacey\, she’ll discuss her collection of playfully surreal stories about love\, death\, and metamorphosis. \nIn Evil Flowers\, a precise but madcap collection of short stories\, Gunnhild Øyehaug extracts the bizarre from the mundane and reveals the strange\, startling brilliance of everyday life. A section of a woman’s brain slips into the toilet bowl\, removing her ability to remember or recognize types of birds — though she is an ornithologist. Medicinal leeches ingest information from fiberoptic cables\, and a new museum sinks into the ground. Across 25 stories\, Øyehaug renovates the form again and again\, confirming Lydia Davis’s observation that her every story is “a formal surprise\, smart and droll.” \nInspired by Charles Baudelaire\, a dreamer and romantic in the era of realism\, Øyehaug revolts against the ordinary\, reaching instead for the wonder to be found in fantasy and absurdity. Brimming with wit\, ingenuity\, and irrepressible joy\, these stories mark another triumph from a dazzling international writer. \nThis event will take place in-person at Scandinavia House. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. \nAbout the Author\nGunnhild Øyehaug is an award-winning Norwegian poet\, essayist\, and fiction writer. Her story collection Knots was published by FSG in 2017\, followed in 2018 by Wait\, Blink\, which was adapted into the acclaimed film Women in Oversized Men’s Shirts. Her novel Present Tense Machine was published in 2022. Øyehaug lives in Bergen\, where she teaches creative writing. \nAbout the Moderator\nCatherine Lacey is the author of the forthcoming novel Biography of X\, as well as the novels Nobody Is Ever Missing\, The Answers\, and Pew\, and the short story collection Certain American States. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Whiting Award\, the New York Public Library’s Young Lions Fiction Award\, and a New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship. She has been a finalist for the Dylan Thomas Prize and the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award\, and was named one of Granta’s Best of Young American Novelists. Her essays and short fiction have appeared in The New Yorker\, Harper’s Magazine\, The New York Times\, The Believer\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Woman\, Captain\, Rebel: The Extraordinary True Story of a Daring Icelandic Sea Captain
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 18\, join us for a talk with Margaret Willson on her book Woman\, Captain\, Rebel: The Extraordinary True Story of a Daring Icelandic Sea Captain\, out January 21 from Sourcebooks! \nA daring and magnificent historical narrative nonfiction account of Iceland’s most famous female sea captain who boldly defended men and women alike against injustice—and who also solved one of the country’s most notorious robberies. History would have us believe the sea has always been a male realm\, the idea of female captains almost unthinkable. But there is an exception\, so notable she defies any expectation. \nCaptain Thurídur\, born in Iceland in 1777\, lived a life that was both controversial and unconventional. Her first time fishing\, on the open unprotected rowboats of her time\, was at age 11. Soon after\, she audaciously began wearing trousers. She later became an acclaimed fishing captain brilliant at weather-reading and sea craft and consistently brought in the largest catches. In the Arctic seas where drownings occurred with terrifying regularity\, she never lost a single crew member. Renowned for her acute powers of observation\, she also solved a notorious crime. \nIn this extremely unequal society\, she used the courts to fight for justice for the abused\, and in her sixties\, embarked on perilous journeys over trackless mountains. Weaving together fastidious research and captivating prose\, author Margaret Willson reveals Captain Thurídur’s fascinating story\, her extraordinary courage\, intelligence\, and personal integrity. Through adventure\, oppression\, joy\, betrayal\, and grief\, Captain Thurídur speaks a universal voice. Here is a woman so ahead of her times she remains modern and inspirational today. Her story can now finally be told. \n“Meticulously researched and evocatively written\, Woman\, Captain\, Rebel provides not only a captivating insight into 19th-century Iceland\, but also introduces readers to the inspirational\, real-life fishing captain Thurídur\, a tough and fiercely independent woman who deserves to be a role model of determination and perseverance for us all.” — Eliza Reid\, internationally bestselling author of Secrets of the Sprakkar \nAbout the Author\nAnthropologist and writer Margaret Willson has traveled extensively\, in Brazil\, Papau New Guinea\, Mongolia\, Australia\, Europe and Iceland. Her eclectic nonacademic jobs have included abalone diving and being a deckhand on fishing boats off the south coast of Tasmania. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the London School of Economics and is currently an Affiliate Associate Professor with the Departments of Anthropology and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Washington. \nShe is also a Senior Associate Scientist at the Stefánsson Arctic Institute in Iceland. Her previous books include Seawomen of Iceland: Survival on the Edge and Dance Lest We All Fall Down: Breaking Cycles of Poverty in Brazil and Beyond. She lives in Seattle with her partner and their cat Mister.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with author Lisa E. Bloom on her new book Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics: Artists Reimagine the Arctic and Antarctica\, out now from Duke University Press! \nIn this new publication\, Bloom considers the ways artists\, filmmakers\, and activists engaged with the Arctic and Antarctic represent our current environmental crises and reconstruct public understandings of them. Bloom engages feminist\, Black\, Indigenous\, and non-Western perspectives to address the exigencies of the experience of the Anthropocene and its attendant Necosystem failures\, rising sea levels\, and climate-led migrations. As opposed to mainstream media depictions of climate change that feature apocalyptic spectacles of distant melting ice and desperate polar bears\, artists such as Katja Aglert\, Subhankar Banerjee\, Joyce Campbell\, Judit Hersko\, Roni Horn\, Isaac Julien\, Zacharias Kunuk\, Connie Samaras\, and activist art collectives take a more complex poetic and political approach. \nIn their films and visual and conceptual art\, these artists link climate change to its social roots in colonialism and capitalism while challenging the suppression of information about environmental destruction and critiquing Western art institutions for their complicity. Bloom’s examination and contextualization of new polar aesthetics makes environmental degradation more legible while demonstrating that our own political agency is central to imagining and constructing a better world. \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing at a discount for attendees. \n“Ever since the publication of Gender on Ice\, Lisa E. Bloom has been one of the most innovative scholars in the field of polar aesthetics and the cultural history of the polar regions… This is a book for dark times\, but it is hopeful\, resilient\, and socially just.” — Klaus Dodds\, Professor of Geopolitics\, Royal Holloway\, University of London \nAbout the Author\nLisa E. Bloom is the author of many feminist books and articles in art history\,  visual culture\, and  cultural studies including her book Gender on Ice: American Ideologies of Polar Expeditions (University of Minnesota Press\, 1993)\, the first critical feminist and postcolonial cultural studies book on the polar region\, and her anthology With Other Eyes: Looking at Race and Gender in Visual Culture (University of Minnesota Press\, 1999) that demonstrates that feminist\, postcolonial and antiracist concerns can be incorporated into the history of art. \nHer latest book\, Climate Change and the New Polar Aesthetics: Artists Reimagine the Arctic and Antarctic (Duke University Press\, 2022) examines aspects of feminist and environmentalist art that conjoins issues routinely kept apart in climate change debates such as the fate of indigenous communities\, resurgent nationalisms\, globalizing capitalism as well as questions of gender\, race\, and persistent postcolonial relations. She has taught and had been a researcher at numerous universities and art schools over the years including the University of California\, Berkeley\, (2018-2022) where she is a scholar-in-residence at the Beatrice Bain Center in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies.

SUMMARY:Nothing to Laugh About
DESCRIPTION:“Warm\, heartfelt\, and offering surprisingly much to laugh about” — see the touching Norwegian dramedy Nothing to Laugh About /Ingenting å le av (dir. Petter Næss\, Norway\, 2021) this February at Scandinavia House. Successful stand-up comedian Kasper Berntsen has everything a man could ask for: a regular gig at the city’s top comedy club\, a beautiful girlfriend and a fabulous life as a public figure. Until suddenly everything crashes down around him — after losing his comedy gig and girlfriend on the same day\, he’s faced with the worst nightmare imaginable when a doctor informs him that he has incurable cancer. Left with life in shambles\, Kaspar must ask himself: give up or fight on? And in his search for identity he begins to discover new sides of himself — giving new life to his comedy as he uses humor as a disarming and life-giving force. Written by and starring Norwegian comedian Odd-Magnus Williamson (Kon Tiki)\, this heartwarming story explores how to gain newfound self-belief and find laughter again. \n“Nothing to Laugh About takes us on the journey of somebody who\, with nothing to lose\, proceeds to find himself and those aspects of his life most important to him”  (BMA Mag).

SUMMARY:Everybody Hates Johan
DESCRIPTION:“A real blast…a Norwegian comedy of charm and wisdom”—this February\, see the new film Everybody Hates Johan /Alle Hater Johan this February (dir. Hallvar Witzø\, Norway\, 2022) at Scandinavia House! Small-town loner Johan Grande expresses his feelings with explosives — while some people use beautiful words\, he’s more likely to grab a stick of dynamite. What could be better than taking cover together and holding hands\, watching things blow up from a safe distance? Orphaned at a young age and raised by his aunt with his wild horse Ella\, this has made it difficult to fit in in Titran\, on the windswept ridgeline of Trøndelag\, which has never fully accepted the Grande family as its own. And it makes it even harder to act on his feelings for Solvor — the girl next door\, who he accidentally blew up a bit during his younger days. Will his journey to win her heart go up in flames? \nThis impressive feature debut from Hallvar Witzø has been acclaimed as “a folktale and a saga…a sort of Molotovian romance” (Sydney Morning Herald). \n  \n \nAbout the Director\nHallvar Witzø (b.1984) has a degree in directing from The Norwegian Film School. He won the Student Academy Award for best foreign film with Tuba Atlantic. He received a Palm d’Or nomination for the short film\, Yes We Love\, at Cannes Film Festival 2014. Everybody Hates Johan is his feature debut.

DESCRIPTION:On February 4\, please join ASF for a conversation with artists Marion Belanger\, Clare Benson\, and Steve Giovinco\, whose works are currently featured in the exhibition\, On the Arctic Edge: Artists Explore the Far North at Scandinavia House. \nModerated by photographer Erika Larsen\, the discussion will examine the individual experiences and work of each artist\, as well as the broader perspective the exhibition brings as a collective reflection on the rapidly changing landscape of the Arctic region. \nAbout the Speakers\nClare Benson is a photographer and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of family history\, tradition\, science\, and mythology. She received her MFA from the University of Arizona and her BFA from Central Michigan University.

Her first book The Shepherd’s Daughter was published in 2017 by Photolucida\, in receipt of the Critical Mass Book Award. Benson’s work has been featured in exhibitions\, screenings\, and publications across the U.S. and internationally. She is currently Assistant Professor of Photography at the University of Connecticut. \nMarion Belanger is interested in the concepts of persistence and change\, and in the way that boundaries demarcate difference\, particularly in regard to the land. She has been the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship\, a John Anson Kittredge Award\, an American Scandinavian Fellowship\, Connecticut Commission on the Arts Fellowships\, and has been an artist in residence at the MacDowell Colony\, at the Atlantic Center for the Arts\, at the Virginia Center for the Arts and at Everglades National Park.

His new photo series Inertia looks at the land\, ice and communities in Southern Greenland including the tiny remote town Narsarsuaq\, population 158\, which lies in the shadow of glaciers. \nErika Larsen is a transdisciplinary storyteller who believes that photography is a practice to expand our understanding of time\, place\, and people. She is fascinated by how we communicate with nature and often focuses on learning from people who maintain strong relationships with the natural world. Her monograph\, Sami-Walking with Reindeer\, reflects her time living in the Scandinavian Arctic. Her second monograph\, Materia Prima\, is a collection of photographs and poems that explore ritual and the process of remembering we are nature. Her work has been included in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery\, National Geographic Society\, Fotografiska Museum\, University of Kentucky Art Museum\, and the United States Embassy in Oslo. Erika is a lecturer at The Peruvian University of Applied Sciences in Lima\, Peru.

SUMMARY:Collected Works
DESCRIPTION:This January\, join us for a virtual book talk with Swedish author and psychologist Lydia Sandgren on her new book Collected Works. With moderator Emily Temple\, she’ll discuss her compelling mystery and poignant bildungsroman about love\, power\, and art—and what leads us to make the pivotal decisions that change the course of our lives. \nMartin Berg’s wife\, Cecilia\, disappeared years ago. His memories of their carefree college days seem ever out of reach\, and the intellectual curiosities that once made him the object of her desire have given way to midlife uncertainty. The methodical and quiet life he’s made for himself and his adult children couldn’t be further from the one he dreamed of in his youth\, when the manuscripts lying around his apartment were flush with promise and his ailing publishing house was still new. \nPerhaps nothing reminds Martin of these failures more than his friend Gustav Becker\, a wildly successful painter who’s returned to Gothenburg on the eve of his career-defining retrospective. Gustav\, meanwhile\, is hurting too. His obsession with Cecilia’s inexplicable disappearance had made his art hagiographic\, fixated on her image. \nWhen posters for Gustav’s retrospective plaster Cecilia’s face on major billboards across the city\, Martin’s daughter Rakel learns a haunting fact that points toward her mother’s whereabouts. She and her brother chase this clue across time\, memory\, and Europe to discover why Cecilia abandoned her family\, with the imagined hope that the question of what makes a person leave can ever be answered. \nRegistration is required. Please sign up at the link above. This event will take place as a Zoom webinar. Please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. \n“[A] sweeping and complex drama of family\, art\, and sacrifice . . . Readers will be captivated.” —Publishers Weekly  \n“A richly evocative work from a major new talent.” —Kirkus Reviews  \nAbout the Author\nLydia Sandgren is a trained psychologist and lives in Gothenburg\, Sweden. Collected Works is her debut novel. \nAbout the Moderator\nEmily Temple is the author of The Lightness (William Morrow\, 2020) and the Managing Editor at Literary Hub. She earned an MFA in fiction from the University of Virginia\, where she was the recipient of a Henfield Prize. She lives with her husband and daughter in upstate New York.
