SUMMARY:On the Arctic Edge — Artists Explore the Far North
DESCRIPTION:Opening October 21 at Scandinavia House\, On the Arctic Edge — Artists Explore the Far North presents three contemporary photo-based artists whose work traverses the regions of the Arctic Circle to probe themes ranging from time and memory\, to landscape and the built environment\, to science and mythology\, to our changing climate: Marion Belanger\, Clare Benson\, and Steve Giovinco. Each artist is an ASF Fellow having received financial support from the American-Scandinavian Foundation from funds donated by Scandinavian Seminar \nPhotographer and Interdisciplinary artist Clare Benson’s series Until There Is No Sun is a poetic investigation of the Arctic’s duality: the relationships between light and seeing\, earth and sky\, science and ancient myth. Over the span of nearly a year living in the far north of Arctic Sweden\, Benson worked alongside space physicists\, Sami indigenous reindeer herders\, and scientist studying the eyes of Arctic reindeer to capture photographs\, videos\, and collected artifacts\, exploring how weather and time have worn and carved a world that slowly turns its back to the light. Included in the exhibition\, the video work A Thousand Suns is a time-lapse capture of images made by an All-Sky Camera looking up through the roof of the Swedish Institute for Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna. Photographs on view include her Seasonal Adaptations in the Eyes of Arctic Reindeer\, which portray how Arctic reindeer adapt to extreme changes in sunlight through a shift in their tapetum lucidum\, a mirror-like tissue behind the retina.  \nMarion Belanger photographs the cultural landscape\, particularly where geology and the built environment intersect\, exploring concepts of persistence and change and ways that boundaries demarcate differences. A recipient of awards including a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship\, whose photographs are included in many permanent collections including the Library of Congress\, her series Rift/Fault studies shifting land-based tectonic edges of the North American Continental Plate in Iceland and California.  \nExamining their unpredictable and uncontainable behavior — immune to any human efforts of control — Belanger’s series pairs images from the Mid-Atlantic Rift in Iceland with those captured along the San Andreas Fault\, allowing for a dialogue between the wild and the contained\, the fertile and the barren\, the geologic and the human\, in a way that questions the uneasy relationship between geological force\, and the limits of human enterprise. Published in the 2017 monograph Rift/Fault (Radius Books)\, author and art critic Lucy Lippard writes in her introduction that Belanger “comments on the visible and the invisible\, acknowledgement and denial\, examining\, in the process\, the ‘dangerous disconnect\,’ where so-called ordinary lives play out in the shadows of potential cataclysm.” \nNYC-based fine-art photographer Steve Giovinco’s lyrical night landscapes in the recent series Inertia look at the land\, ice\, and communities of Southern Greenland. An MFA graduate from Yale University School of Art whose work is collected by museums including the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Giovinco traveled to locations including Narsarsuaq\, a small remote town lying in the shadow of glaciers\, to capture vast scarred landscapes; shrinking icebergs and ice floes; desolate villages; and four hundred-year-old Norse ruins; all marked with minimal traces of human intervention. Photographed through the hours of changing light at dawn\, twilight\, or nighttime the vistas are haunted\, luminous\, magical and at times devastating. \nEach artist is an ASF Fellow having received financial support from the American-Scandinavian Foundation\, which since it began over a century ago has awarded over 5\,500 fellowships and grants to Americans and Scandinavians. This exhibition is made possible due to the generosity of the Inger G. & William B. Ginsberg Support Fund\, the Virginia Barron Tayloe Bequest\, the Bonnier Family Fund for Contemporary Art and the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation. \nAbout the Artists\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. In 2014-15 she was the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship to Arctic Sweden\, where she worked alongside space scientists and indigenous Sami reindeer herders. 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. \nMarion Belanger is interested in the concepts of persistence and change\, and in the way that boundaries demarcate difference\, particularly in regards 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. \nMarion Belanger earned her MFA from the Yale University School of Art where she was the recipient of both the John Ferguson Weir Award and the Schickle-Collingwood Prize\, and a BFA from the College of Art & Design at Alfred University. Her photographs are included in many permanent collections including the Library of Congress\, the National Gallery of Art\, the Yale University Gallery of Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the International Center of Photography. \nSteve Giovinco is a New York City-based fine-art photographer\, who focuses on creating images of couples with himself and lyrical night landscapes. His work is collected by many museums\, including the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, has exhibited widely in galleries and received his MFA from Yale University School of Art. 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. \n  \nThis exhibition is made possible due to the generosity of the Inger G. & William B.

SUMMARY:Red Milk by Sjón
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 December 6\, we’ll be discussing Red Milk by Icelandic author Sjón\, out now in translation by Victoria Cribb. \n\n\nIn this timely and provocative novel about a mysterious Icelandic neo-Nazi and the enduring global allure of fascism\, in 1962 England in 1962 an Icelandic man is found dead on a train bound for Cheltenham Spa. In his possession\, policemen find a map on which a swastika has been drawn with a red pen. Who was he\, and where was he going? Through biography and mystery we learn the story of Gunnar Kampen\, founder of Iceland’s antisemitic nationalist party\, with ties to a burgeoning network of neo-Nazi groups across the globe. \n\n\n\n\nTold in a series of scenes and letters spanning Kampen’s lifetime — from his childhood in Reykjavík during the Second World War\, in a household strongly opposed to Hitler and his views\, through his education\, political radicalization\, and final clandestine mission to England — Red Milk urges readers to confront the international legacy of twentieth-century fascism and the often unknowable forces that drive some people to extremism. Based on one of the ringleaders of a little-known neo-Nazi group that operated in Reykjavík in the late 1950s and early 1960s\, this taut and potent novel explores what shapes a young man and the enduring\, disturbing allure of Nazi ideology.\n\n\n\n“A worthy companion to anti-fascist works by Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre”—Publisher’s Weekly\n\n\nAbout the Author\nBorn in Reykjavík in 1962\, Sjón is the author of the novels The Blue Fox\, The Whispering Muse\, From the Mouth of the Whale\, Moonstone\, and CoDex 1962\, for which he won several awards\, including the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize and the Icelandic Literary Prize. He has also been short-listed for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize\, and his work has been translated into 35 \nThis illuminating tale makes for worthy companion to anti-fascist works by Hannah Arendt and Jean-Paul Sartre.  languages. \nIn addition\, Sjón has written more than seven poetry collections\, several opera librettos\, and lyrics for various artists\, including Björk. He was nominated for an Oscar for his lyrics in Dancer in the Dark\, and he cowrote the script of the film The Northman with its director\, Robert Eggers. In 2017 he became the third writer – following Margaret Atwood and David Mitchell – to contribute to Future Library\, a public artwork based in Norway spanning one hundred years. He lives in Reykjavík\, Iceland.

Based on the horrific true story of serial killer Saeed Hanaei\, acclaimed writer-director Ali Abbasi (Border) unveils a gripping crime thriller\, and a daring indictment of a society in which rough justice is routinely a fact of life. \n“A crisp\, engrossing\, and disturbing crime thriller”—The Observer \n“Powerful and precise\, commendably lacking the sensationalistic tone of some serial killer movies”—RogerEbert.com \nThis screening will take place in-person at Scandinavia House in Victor Borge Hall.
