Unclassifiable: Swedish Video Artists

Several artists and filmmakers from Sweden are featured in the genre-defying video showcase Unclassifiable in Manhattan on March 20-22.

Unclassifiable showcases video work that steps outside the frames that define video art, cinema, the documentary, and pop culture.  The featured artists have crossed over the boundaries of these groups, leaving us to question the limits facing creative practice today. 

The program is composed of three installments over three days, examining and revisiting the definition of indie and art film (March 20), documentary film (March 21) and pop culture commodification (March 22).

The Swedish contributors are Erik Bünger, Miriam Bäckström, Henrik Lund Jørgensen, Johanna Billing, Tova Mozard and Stina Wirfelt.

The program is curated by Jenny Yurshansky and Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen, made possible by Swing Space, a program of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and generously supported by the September 11th Fund.
