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: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.
