SUMMARY:THE FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB: A NOVEL OF ARTIST HILMA AF KLINT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with authors Sofia Lundberg\, Alyson Richman and M.J. Rose on their new book The Friday Night Club: A Novel of Artist Hilma af Klint and Her Creative Circle\, out May 16 from Penguin Random House! The authors will discuss their illuminating historical novel about the groundbreaking Swedish artist af Klint\, considered now to be the true creator of abstractionism\, and four of her contemporaries.\n\n\n\nIt’s the early 1900s\, and the world belongs to men. The art world in Stockholm\, Sweden\, is no different\, until Hilma af Klint brings together a mysterious group of female painters and writers—Anna\, Cornelia\, Sigrid\, and Mathilda—to form their own emotional and artistic support system. The members of the Friday Night Club find themselves thrust into uncharted territory when Hilma and her best friend\, Anna\, begin dabbling in the occult\, believing that through séances they can channel unseen spirits to help them achieve their potential as artists. “The Five\,” as Hilma referred to them\, was a group of immensely talented\, fascinating women whose lives and work were cast into obscurity… until now. \nOver a century later\, an associate curator at the Guggenheim Museum\, Eben Elliot\, brings the Hilma af Klint show to New York where he uncovers questions about the Five and how the modern day art world is funded\, which puts him in a precarious position both emotionally and professionally\, as he witnesses how history can be manipulated. \n\n\nWith rich characterizations\, evocative language\, and a seamless narrative\, Lundberg\, Richman\, and Rose bring to life Hilma af Klint and her creative circle\, who influenced the course of modern art but whose stories have never been told before. \nNew York Times bestselling coauthor of The Personal Librarian\, Marie Benedict\, says\, “Co-authors Sofia Lundberg\, Alyson Richman\, and M.J. Rose have unearthed the captivating story of the ground-breaking Swedish artist Hilma af Klint\, arguably the world’s first abstract artist who may well have inspired male painters like Wassily Kandinksy who typically receive credit for pioneering abstraction. This spell-binding exploration of the life and legacy of a long-forgotten woman and the circle of gifted friends who worked alongside her is a must-read.” \nThis program will take place in-person at Scandinavia House.

SUMMARY:MUNCH
DESCRIPTION:On June 14\, see the epic and time-shifting biopic of one of the world’s most significant modern painters\, Henrik M. Dahlsbakken’s Munch (Norway\, 2023)! Misunderstood by his peers\, rejected by the art establishment\, wracked with grief over the loss of his younger sister and tortured by addiction\, the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch remains today one of the most relevant and revered artists worldwide. In this intimate and nuanced portrait of the artist across four significant chapters  — played by four actors\, Alfred Ekker Strande (Ida Takes Charge)\, Mattis Herman Nyquist (Headhunters)\, Ola G. Furuseth (Made in Oslo) and Anne Krigsvoll (Lilyhammer) — we see Munch at ages 21\, 30\, 45\, and 80\, across early heartbreak and the beginnings of his career to middle-aged battles with alcoholism and mental illness\, to his final years in Nazi-occupied Norway\, each informing one another through alternating vignettes. A final chapter takes place in modern-day Berlin\, bringing a contemporary edge to the story of a legendary artist.\n\n“A multifaceted three-century portrait of a character unbound by location… In reinterpreting the conventional biopic\, Munch captures the spirit of the man as opposed to his mere life” (Journey Into Cinema) \n \nSpecial thanks to Juno Films. Munch opens theatrically at The Quad on June 16. \n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS
