BIENNALE CINEMA 2018 75TH VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL
Suspiria at The 75th Venice International Film Festival Competion organised by La Biennale di Venezia, and will take place at Venice Lido from August 29th to September 8th, 2018.
Mikael Olsson stars as Agent Glockner in the upcoming film Suspiria (2018) from director Luca Guadagnino. Starring Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Jessica Harper and Chloe Grace Moretz. Screenplay by David Kajganich.
In Suspiria by Luca Guadagnino – who pays homage to the 1977 cult horror movie by Dario Argento - a darkness swirls at the center of a world-renowned dance company, one that will engulf the artistic director (Tilda Swinton), an ambitious young dancer (Dakota Johnson), and a grieving psychotherapist (Lutz Ebersdorf). Radiohead's Thom Yorke provided the score for the movie, contributing to its creepy atmosphere.

This is not an exhibition
........Nearby, Petra Gipp and Mikael Olsson's rigorous assembly and direct display of three canopies designed by Sigurd Lewerentz for religious buildings, curated by Kieran Long, Johan Örn, and James Taylor-Foster, stands out as a model for the contemporary exhibition of historical architecture in its careful selection of a wide range of material as well as its subtle deployment of abstraction in its modes of representation........

Freestanding
16th International Architecture Exhibition – Venice Biennale
Freespace
May 26th – November 25th, 2018
In response to the explosion of international interest and research surrounding Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975), Sweden’s most renowned 20th Century architect, ArkDes (The Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design), with Petra Gipp and Mikael Olsson, presents Freestanding – an exhibition in the Central Pavilion at FREESPACE, the 16th International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia.
Freestanding explores three freestanding canopies from three of Lewerentz’ most well-known religious buildings through a collection of historical drawings and newly-commissioned interpretative works. Supported by ArkDes in response to an invitation to participate from artistic directors Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, the exhibition looks at ways in which extra spatial gifts can contribute to the experience of a place, a landscape, and the rituals that surround death and burial. Architect Petra Gipp has designed large-scale models for the exhibition that create an extraordinary spatial experience for the visitor.
Artist Mikael Olsson has created new photographs of the structures as living contemporary scenographies that challenge our perception. In dissecting and rearranging the structures and their surroundings, Mikael Olsson investigates the buildings and gives us new perspectives on their design. The pictures evoke movement and help to reveal how we perceive distance and intimacy through architectural gestures.

Panel call: The actors around the photo book and its context
18.30-20.00
A number of key actors in the Swedish photo book culture have been invited to discuss what makes a photo book interesting, convey personal experience of publishing photo books and describing the international networks where the books are displayed, sold and distributed. The collections are also in focus and participants provide insights into the requests that form collections and show examples of extremely unusual photo books.
