New Swedish Video at MonkeyTown

A new Swedish video art program will be screened at the recently opened restaurant and gallery space MonkeyTown in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn throughout October 2005.

The program includes recent videos by six Swedish artists: Jonathan Jarl, Michael Johansson, Johan Jonason, Eva Linder, Jesper Nordahl and John Skoog. They all belong to a new generation of artists, having begun exhibiting in Sweden and internationally only during the last few years. This is the first time ever any of their works will be presented in New York.

The works range from inventive documentaries to playful fictions, all with a distinct social interest. The artists present a complex portrait of Sweden and its neighboring countries, beyond cold weather, melancholy and social democratic models.

New Swedish Video repeats Friday and Saturday on October 14-15, 21-22 and 28-29 with two seatings per night at 7:30 pm and 10 pm.
