Unnatural Formations: Three Contemporary Photographers

Tuesday, April 3 through Saturday, June 30, 2012 Gallery Hours: Tuesday Saturday, 12 6 pm, 3rd Floor Galleries Free The American-Scandinavian Foundation celebrates the 100th anniversary of its Fellowship program with an exhibition featuring the work of three recent grant recipients -- Stephen Hilyard, Simen Johan, and Lydia Anne McCarthy who have emerged as innovators in the field of contemporary landscape photography. The exhibition offers a unique look at hybrid photographs where disparate and sometimes dissonant images are woven together to create new, hypothetical landscapes. The exhibition explores the ways in which the photographers access, engage, and even exploit unique elements of Nordic terrain and climate for expressive effect. Through various techniques of photographic manipulation, the artists construct landscapes at once familiar and alien, natural and artificial, ultimately calling into question perceptions of reality and artifice. The photographs, taken from discrete series of work originating out of the respective artists ASF Fellowship experiences, underscore the importance of international study to the arts. The ASF Fellowship Program is the Foundations longest-standing commitment to cultural and educational exchange and, over the last 100 years, has awarded over 5,500 fellowships and grants to Americans and Scandinavians.

MorphosesInsights: Dance + Film/Pontus Lidberg

$15 ($10 ASF Members) MorphosesInsights is a series of intimate events that bring together creators, dancers, collaborators, supporters, audiences, and fans for the purpose of illumination: the illumination of the creative process. The dynamic forces combining in each Morphoses production are endlessly fascinating and by creating a context in which these forces are displayed, spoken about, and demonstrated, MorphosesInsights is an inside track on each production from the very beginning of its journey. The 2012 edition of this exciting series kicks off with choreographer/filmmaker Pontus Lidberg and some of his closest collaborators discussing the process of building a new evening-length work and a viewing of the film at the center of it all: Lidberg's Labyrinth Within. Swedish choreographer, dancer, and filmmaker Pontus Lidberg is most recognized for his award-winning dance film The Rain (2007). As a choreographer for the stage, Mr. Lidberg has been described in the Swedish press as one of our great choreographic talents and has created over 30 works for major international dance companies such as The Royal Danish Ballet, The Beijing Dance Theatre, The Norwegian National Ballet, 59° North: Soloists of the Royal Swedish Ballet, The Vanemuise Ballet of Estonia, Morphoses, and his own group Pontus Lidberg Dance, which recently made its New York debut with his Faune at the Fall for Dance Festival at New York City Center. In December of 2010 NorrlandsOperan of Sweden commissioned Mr. Lidberg to create a new dance work with an original score by Swedish composer B. Tommy Andersson. That work, entitled Warriors, was named best dance performance of the year in northern Sweden. Lidbergs full-length work Duet for Dancer and Pianist, in collaboration with concert pianist Magnus Svensson, has been performed extensively on tour in Sweden, France, and Estonia. In just a few short years Pontus Lidberg has firmly established himself as a creative and visionary artist bringing dance and film together. His first work for the camera was commissioned by Swedish National Television: Mirror has been screened on television as well as in dance film festivals in the U.S. and abroad. His most recent dance film, Labyrinth Within, which features New York City Ballet principal dancer Wendy Whelan and a score by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang, received the Court Métrange du Jury prize at Court-Métrange Film Festival in Rennes, France this past October. Pontus Lidberg is the designated 2012 Resident Artistic Director for Morphoses. In that role he plans to create a new evening-length work that weaves together dance for stage and film, expanding on and taking inspiration from Labyrinth Within - once again in collaboration with David Lang. This new work will premiere during Morphoses debut season at Jacobs Pillow in June 2012. Morphoses previously commissioned Lidberg: Vespertine premiered at Works & Process at the Guggenheim in October 2010. Mr. Lidberg received his training at the Royal Swedish Ballet School in Stockholm, Sweden. Among other international dance companies, he has danced with The Royal Swedish Ballet, the Norwegian National Ballet, Le Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève, and the Gothenburg Ballet. He received the NOKIA Award for young talent in 2001 and the Stockholm Cultural Scholarship, also in 2001. Co-presented by Morphoses.

Dining for Women

Dining for Women is a giving circle. Each woman brings a dish to pass. The money we would have spent eating in a restaurant is donated to the carefully selected charity each month. Through our members' combined dinner donations, we fund international programs for women living in extreme poverty. By educating our members about the circumstances of women in some of the poorest countries in the world, our members become agents of change. The May dinner will support Children of Vietnam, an organization dedicated to providing aid to disadvantaged children in Vietnam and works to improve the lives of children in need of food, medicine, housing, and education. Women, and this month their significant others, are invited to join us at the Duerr Galleri for an evening of education and camaraderie in an art venue. Space is limited so sign up early!

Stieg Larsson and Me - Book Talk with Eva Gabrielsson

For reservations, call 212.847.9740 or email event_reservation@amscan.org. Free. Note: seating is limited. Although the program is free, reservations are encouraged to ensure a ticket/seat. There is only one person who can tell Stieg Larssons story other than himself, and that is his lifelong companion Eva Gabrielsson. There Are Things I Want You to Know About Stieg Larsson and Me is her book. The keys to the Stieg Larsson phenomenon all lie with Stieg Larsson the man. No one knew him like his Gabrielsson. Here she tells the story of their 30-year romance, of Stiegs life-long struggle to expose Swedens Neo-Nazis, of his struggle to keep the magazine he founded, Expo, alive, his difficult relationships with his immediate family, and the joy and relief he discovered writing the Millennium Trilogy. Above all, this is a love story, and we come to understand, reading There Are Things I Want You to Know About Stieg Larsson and Me, that if there was another secret besides Larssons own imagination and convictions, it was his absolute love for his companion and her nurturing of their privacy and shared passions. There Are Things I Want You to Know is told as a series of short vignettes, with titles ranging from Speaking of Coffee, and Stiegs Journalistic Credo, to Goodbyes, and The Fourth Volume. She speaks with rare candor and dignity, inspired only by the truth as she knows it. The book is thus short and to the point, poignant in its account of two soul mates and the life they shared, deeply insightful into the man everyone wants to know better, and about whom so little is known. I would have preferred to have never written this book. It speaks of Stieg, of our life together, and of my life after his death, writes Gabrielsson early in her book. It was written because she alone can tell this story. An international bestseller, There Are Things I Want You to Know About Stieg Larsson and Me has been featured on The Today Show (June 2011), in Vanity Fair (July 2011), The New York Times (July 2011), on National Public Radio (June 2011), and in many other places. The paperback edition is now available, which Ms. Gabrielsson will be happy to sign at the end of the program. The book will be for sale at Scandinavia House and is also available through Seven Stories Press, Amazon, and many other retailers. About the author: Eva Gabrielsson is an architect, author, and political activist. Currently her architectural practice includes housing and office construction and heading a European Union initiative to create sustainable architecture in the Dalecarlia region. As an author, in addition to working with Stieg Larsson on his writing projects, she is the coauthor of several books, including a monograph on the subject of cohabitation in Sweden, a Swedish government study on how to create more sustainable housing, and a forthcoming study on the Swedish urban planner Per Olof Hallman. She has also translated into Swedish Philip K. Dicks The Man in the High Castle. As an activist, she works to stop violence against women. In 2010 she served as a consultant on a Danish adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by the Nørrebro Theatre Company. Eva Gabrielsson and Stieg Larsson met in 1972, when they were both eighteen, and lived and wrote together from 1974 until his death in 2004. Their struggle together for social justice was the basis for the books in Larssons Millennium Trilogy.

Mr. Bengts Wife by Strindberg

The Railroad Playhouse in Newburgh, New York presents a staged reading of Mr. Bengts Wife by August Strindberg in a new translation by Laurence Carr and Malin Tybahl. Written in 1882 as a rebuttal to Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House the play utilizes realism, expressionism, melodrama, and dreamscape to tell the story of the rebellious Margit. Her quest to become an independent New Woman, catches her in a maze that bounces her from nunnery to castle, with a husband and two lovers vying for her attention.
