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:River Kings: A New History of the Vikings Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join us February 3 at 7 PM ET for an in-person literary talk with bioarchaeologist Dr. Cat Jarmanon to celebrate the release of her new book River Kings: A New History of the Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads out on February 1\, 2022 from Pegasus Books! During this literary talk\, learn about an epic story from the Viking Age that traces the historical path of an ancient piece of jewelry—found in a Viking grave in England—to its likely origin thousands of miles east in India. This event takes place live at Scandinavia House and will also be streamed virtually. \nAcclaimed bioarchaeologist Dr. Jarman uses cutting-edge forensic techniques to investigate the history of the Vikings who landed on British soil over 1\,000 years ago. By examining ancient Viking teeth and bones with radiocarbon dating\, she can ascertain childhood diet as well as birthdate and death date\, down to a range of a few years. In 2017\, a particular carnelian bead came into her possession. River Kings follows Dr. Jarman as she traces the path of this ancient piece of jewelry back to 8th-century India. Along the way\, she discovers that the Viking route to England was far more varied than we previously thought; with them came people from the Middle East\, not just from Scandinavia. The reason for this unexpected interaction between the East and West may well have been a slave trade running through the Silk Road\, all the way to Britain. \nA riveting history of the Vikings and the modern methods we use to understand them\, River Kings is a major reassessment of the fierce\, often-mythologized voyagers of the North—and of the global medieval world as we know it. \n“A masterly history . . . I was held captive. River Kings is like a classical symphony\, perfectly composed and exquisitely performed. Tiny trills of detail give way to pounding drums of drama.” —The Times (London) \n“Will cast a spell on any reader who enjoys their history well-written and clearly argued. Replete with witches\, human sacrifice\, Greek fire and funeral orgies. One of the most thrilling works ofarchaeological detective work I have ever read.” — William Dalrymple\, The Financial Times \nThis program will also be live-streamed from Scandinavia House; check back for details and a link closer to the date. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nCat Jarman\, PhD\, is a bioarchaeologist and field archaeologist specializing in the Viking Age and Viking women. She uses forensic techniques like isotope analysis\, carbon dating\, and DNA analysis on human remains to untangle the experiences of past people from broader historical narratives. Dr. Jarman has contributed to numerous television documentaries as both an on-screen expert and historical consultant\, including programs for the BBC\, History Channel\, and Discovery\, among others. She lives in Britain.

SUMMARY:Online Nordic Book Club - The Book of Reykjavik: A City in Short Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On February 8\, we’ll be discussing The Book of Reykjavik: A City in Short Fiction\, an anthology edited by Becca Parkinson & Vera Juliusdottir\, which was recently discussed by authors and translators in a virtual panel now streaming here. \nIceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past\, to its claim today of being home to more writers\, more published books and more avid readers\, per head\, than anywhere in the world. As its capital (and indeed only city)\, Reykjavik has long been an inspiration for these stories. But as this collection demonstrates\, this fishing-village-turned-metropolis at the farthest fringe of Europe has been both revered and reviled by Icelanders over the years. The tension between the city and the surrounding countryside\, its rural past and urban present\, weaves its way through The Book of Reykjavik\, forming an outline of a fragmented city marked by both contradiction and creativity. \nFeaturing stories by Friðgeir Einarsson\, Kristín Eiríksdóttir\, Þórarinn Eldjárn\, Einar Már Guðmundsson\, Björn Halldórsson\, Fríða Ísberg\, Auður Jónsdóttir\, Guðrún Eva Mínervudóttir\, Andri Snær Magnason & Ágúst Borgþór Sverrisson\, as well as an introduction by award-winning Icelandic author Sjón\, The Book of Reykjavik has been hailed as “a fine anthology of tales that illuminate the character of the city\, urban identity\, the complications of life\, dysfunctional relationships\, second beginnings\, looking for love and the impressions of the past” (NB Magazine).

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Sprakkar With The First Lady of Iceland Eliza Reid
DESCRIPTION:Join us on February 10 at 7 PM for a Curtis L. Carlson Distinguished Lecture with First Lady of Iceland\, Eliza Reid on her new book Secrets of the Sprakkar\, out on February 8 from Sourcebooks! The author will discuss her love letter to her adopted homeland\, offering a window into a society that sees the benefits of gender equality and how people everywhere can work towards achieving it. \nThrough her own unconventional story and those of other sprakkar (Icelandic for extraordinary and outstanding women)\, Reid explores the unique combination of policy\, people\, and history that has resulted in Iceland topping the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Index for the past 12 years. Studies show increased equality leads to a happier\, longer living\, and more economically prosperous society for all its citizens. From parenting to politics\, sexuality to sports\, Reid examines what has led to this level of equality in Iceland and shares insights on how we can all help to level the playing field in our day-to-day lives. \nThe Curtis L. Carlson Distinguished Lecture Series was created by the Carlson Family Foundation to support public discourse on issues and topics of particular relevance to the people of the United States and the Nordic nations. \n“Secrets of the Sprakkar is a fascinating window into what a more gender-equal world could look like\, and why it’s worth striving for. Iceland is doing a lot to level the playing field: paid parental leave\, affordable childcare\, and broad support for gender equality as a core value. Reid takes us on an exploration not only around this fascinating island\, but also through the triumphs and stumbles of a country as it journeys towards gender equality.” – Hillary Rodham Clinton \nRegistration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nEliza Reid is the co-founder of the acclaimed Iceland Writers Retreat. Eliza grew up near Ottawa\, Canada and moved to Iceland in 2003. She is the sitting First Lady of Iceland.

SUMMARY:Nordic Literature in Translation: What good does it do for a person to wake up one morning this side of the new millennium
DESCRIPTION:On February 26\, join us for a Nordic Literature in Translation event with this year’s American-Scandinavian Foundation Translation Prizewinner\, Randi Ward\, and the author of the work in translation\, Kim Simonsen! Now in its 43rd year\, ASF’s Annual Translation Competition awards prizes for outstanding translations of poetry\, fiction\, drama\, or literary prose written by a 20th- or 21st-century Nordic author. In 2021\, the Nadia Christensen Prize was awarded to Randi Ward for her translation excerpt from Faroese of Kim Simonsen’s 2013 poetry collection Hvat hjálpir einum menniskja at vakna ein morgun hesumegin hetta áratúsundið (What good does it do for a person to wake up one morning this side of the new millennium). The Nadia Christensen Prize recognizes an outstanding translation of a literary text from a Nordic language into the English. \nOriginally published in the Faroe Islands by Mentunargrunnur Studentafelagsins in 2013\, Hvat hjálpir einum menniskja at vakna ein morgun hesumegin hetta áratúsundið received M.A. Jacobsen’s Virðisløn\, the national book award of the Faroe Islands the following year. Its title posits the existential crisis that is underway while the cover imagery lays bare the philosophical underpinnings of the collection: as a species among species\, all comprised of the matter of the universe\, how has our anthropocentric pursuit of knowledge — and our compulsion to hierarchically categorize everything around and within us — estranged us from ourselves\, each other\, and the rest of this world? \nWhat good does it do for a person to wake up one morning this side of the new millennium is forthcoming in Danish translation and was released in Macedonian translation by PNV Publishing in 2021. Excerpts from this collection have been featured at the STANZA Poetry Festival in Scotland\, the TRANSPOESIE Festival in Belgium\, and the Skopje Poetry Festival in Macedonia\, where it received an award for best new release from The Association of Publishers and Booksellers of Macedonia (ZIKM). In today’s event\, Ward and Simonsen will discuss its writing and its translation. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \nThis program will be followed by a second Nordic Literature in Translation program with ASF Translation Prizewinner Hunter Simpson and author Stine Pilgaard on March 5. Lead more and register here. \nAbout the Author & Translator\nRandi Ward is a poet\, translator\, lyricist\, and photographer from Belleville\, West Virginia. She earned her MA in Cultural Studies from the University of the Faroe Islands and has twice won the American-Scandinavian Foundation’s Nadia Christensen Prize. Her work has appeared in Asymptote\, Beloit Poetry Journal\, Words Without Borders\, World Literature Today and also been featured on Folk Radio UK\, NPR\, and PBS NewsHour. Ward’s translations\, writing\, and photography are used in high school and university classrooms throughout the United States and abroad. She is a recipient of Shepherd University’s Appalachian Photography Award\, and Cornell University Library established the Randi Ward Collection in its Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections in 2015. For more information\, visit randiward.com. \nKim Simonsen is a Faroese writer from the village of Strendur on Eysturoy.
