SUMMARY:IN CONVERSATION: SIMEN JOHAN WITH W.M. HUNT
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with acclaimed artist Simen Johan in conversation with curator\, writer and collector W.M. Hunt on the publication of Johan’s third monograph\, published by powerHouse Books. With a unique creative process that combines candid wildlife photography with digital manipulation\, cinematic drama\, and a painterly approach\, Simen Johan summons a metaphorically dense world into being where human fantasy and nature collide. Representing 15 years of the artist’s career and gathered here for the very first time in this deluxe volume are his celebrated uncanny animal portraits\, otherworldly landscapes\, and psychologically-charged narrative natural scenes. \nEach image reveals poetic and often unexpected relationships that speak to the illusory and multifaceted nature of existence. Tensions between what is revealed and what is concealed\, what is alluring and what is menacing\, what is fact and what is fiction\, both shape and unsettle the scenes. Johan presents us with paradoxical photographic worlds that echo uncanny versions of our own. \n\n\nThis event will take place at Scandinavia House. Advance registration is recommended; sign up at the link above. Catalogues will be available for purchase. \n“Johan’s photographs underscore the importance of the creative act in photography\, not as an act in itself\, but as a means towards a conceptual and narrative goal.” —David E. Little\, Executive Director of the International Center of Photography \nSpecial thanks to the Royal Norwegian Consulate\, New York. \n \n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:HISTORJÁ – STITCHES FOR SÁPMI
DESCRIPTION:On June 21\, see the powerful documentary Historjá – Stitches For Sápmi (dir. Thomas Jackson\, Sweden\, 2022)\, depicting world-renowned artist and activist Britta Marakatt-Labba’s battle for her culture against the threats of climate change\, presented in coordination with our ongoing exhibition Arctic Highways!\n\n\nBritta Marakatt-Labba has for decades depicted the indigenous Samí people’s mythology\, relation to nature and political struggle\, as in her piece Historjá\, a 24-meter-long embroidery depicting motifs from Sami history. With small stitches\, Marakatt-Labba evokes the history and mythology of the Sami people\, as well as stories of colonialism\, state-supported racism and political strife. After decades of protesting her people’s rights through art\, she is now facing another struggle: the fight against climate change as it threatens traditional ways of life on the Arctic tundra. After generations of family reindeer-herding\, will her son be able to carry on the family tradition? \n“Nature truly comes alive in this stunningly beautiful story about the Sámi worldview and mythology” (Business Doc Europe); Historjá is a poetic and visually stunning story of indigenous peoples’ struggle against climate change\, told through the visual landscape of one of the world’s most sought-after artists\, who represented Sapmi and Sweden at the Nordic pavilion in the Venice Biennale\, 2022. Winner of Best Documentary Film\, Guldbaggen Awards 2023. \n \n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS
