VISIT ABOUT MEMBERSHIP FOOD SHOP SUPPORT   MEDIA ALERT

Opening October 14 at Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America, Narrative Threads: Works by Eight Nordic Artists presents multi-media artwork by Nordic artists, each distinguished by their innovative use of natural, synthetic, and digital materials. Exploring Nordic craft traditions through a contemporary lens, the works in the exhibition engage with material experimentation, and digital technology, with textile design, ceramics, stitching, painting, audio recording, and assemblage offering diverse narrative expressions and perspectives. The exhibition will feature the work of eight internationally celebrated artists: Margrethe Aanestad (Norway), Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir / Shoplifter (Iceland), Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson (Iceland), Hildur Bjarnadóttir (Iceland), Astrid Krogh (Denmark), Heidi Hankaniemi (Finland), Marianne Huotari (Finland), and Kristina Riska (Finland). Narrative Threads will be accompanied by a range of programming, including Gallery Tours taking place regularly on Wednesdays at 5:30 PM. Monthly evening adult art workshops that explore techniques and themes presented in the exhibition will be offered by Icelandic teaching artist Melkorka Helgadottir. Their works on view will explore personal histories and intergenerational discourse, while influenced by ages-old handicraft techniques and cultural traditions. Margrethe Aanestad’s abstract drawing and sculpture subtly reference landscapes and the celestial sphere. Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir (known as Shoplifter) works with both synthetic and natural hair tocreate sculptures, wall murals and site-specific installations exploring themes of vanity, self-image, fashion, beauty, and popular myth, while Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson uses silk and dye to create large-scale fabric installations based on the landscape of her native Iceland. Hildur Bjarnadóttir’s woven paintings, audio pieces, and large-scale silk installations investigate issues of belonging, ecology, place and cohabitation with animals and plants in Iceland; Astrid Krogh explores the dialogue between natural and artificial illumination when paired with fibers, while Heidi Hankaniemi’s practice incorporates the tactile and the performative. Marianne Huotari’s distinctive ceramic works weave tradition with contemporary art by applying the classic Finnish textile technique with unpredictable materials. Kristina Riska has been exploring and redefining the traditional tenets of ceramic sculpture since the 1980s with unorthodox, large-scale works inspired by nature and the properties of light and shadow.   PUBLIC OPENING:  Saturday, October 14  WHERE:                  Scandinavia House                                58 Park Ave., NYC 10016 GALLERY HOURS:   Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 PM                              Wednesdays, 12-7 PM Download Full Press Release Generous support for this exhibition has been received from the Inger G. & William B.

Canios' Books presents, Friday, Sept. 22, 6 p.m. Life After Death: Surviving Suicide Richard Brockman, MD

Canio's Books Canio's, where good books, ideas and community meet! Friday, Sept. 22, 6 p.m. Life After Death: Surviving Suicide Richard Brockman, MD Life After Death is a memoir interweaving the story of a boy’s world shattered by the suicide of his mother, and how the adult he becomes grows and learns to reckon with its aftermath. Now an expert in genetics, epigenetics, and the biology of attachment, Brockman weaves together a narrative of childhood despair with an adult's clinical knowledge, and shows how those shattered pieces of self can sometimes be put back together again.  "A brilliant wrestling of the mind and heart. Brockman brings the reader into his shattered world where chaos and annihilation reign in the long shadow of trauma. His soulful search to find healing and wholeness is disarming and breathtaking." ~Kathleen M. Pike, PhD Richard Brockman is a clinical professor in the department of psychiatry at Columbia University and a visiting professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Namibia. He has been honored with the Nancy C.A. Roeske Award for medical student education by the American Psychiatric Association and with the Victor J. Teichner Visiting Scholar Award from the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychiatry for his teaching. His previous book, A Map of the Mind, was acclaimed by the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Psychiatric Association.  Friday, Sept. 29, 6 p.m. A.M. Homes & Carl Bernstein The Unfolding LOCATION: Christ Episcopal Church Join us for a provocative discussion with renowned journalist Carl Bernstein and acclaimed novelist A.M. Homes, as they discuss Homes' recent book, The Unfolding. The story opens on election day, November 2008. It tracts the uncharted territory forward for those who lost as they plan to wrestle back power, even as their leader's family unravels.  Homes and Bernstein will discuss what it is to write political fiction with roots in history and fact. The two writers will also talk about growing up in the Washington DC area, and how that influenced their sensibilities and perceptions of the world. A.M. Homes is the author of thirteen books, among them the best-selling memoir The Mistress’ Daughter; the novels This Book Will Save Your Life, The End of Alice, and Jack; and the short story collections Days of Awe, The Safety of Objects and Things You Should Know. She also writes for film and television, and teaches in the Creative Writing Program at Princeton University. Carl Bernstein is author or co-author of seven books: All the President's Men, The Final Days, and The Secret Man, with Bob Woodward; His Holiness: John Paul II and the History of Our Time, with Marco Politi; Loyalties; A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton; and Chasing History, a memoir of his early years in journalism. He is a regular political commentator on CNN. Note: this event takes place at Christ Episcopal Church on East Union and Hampton Streets. UPCOMING EVENTS  SEPTEMBER Fri.
