See below for more about the event that occurred at the American Swedish Institute on 9/16/16:
“Cocktails at the Castle: A Different Way of Seeing offers a new view of the ASI curated by special guest Tricia Heuring, co-founder of the trend-setting Public Functionary art gallery, an event project partner. One of the Twin Cities’ hottest tickets, this fall’s Cocktails party is inspired by the ASI’s new exhibition, A Different Way of Seeing, which highlights more than 100 years of transformative Swedish art. The evening’s exciting diversions feature James Everest’s immersive iNMiGRATiON performance experience, mixing a live score by the all-star improvisational music collective Sans Le Systeme with spontaneous poetry, multi-layered video projections and the Free Range Orchestra and Choir. The site-specific exploration ranges throughout ASI’s signature spaces, fostering fertile opportunities for unexpected collaborations and an energized environment that anyone can tap into. And there’s more! The night highlights grooving tunes by ZULUZULUU, pop-up performances by DaNCEBUMS, musician Sebastian Bergstrom playing mini-sets in the Mansion, art installations by visual artist Jennifer Davis, a 360° virtual reality experiences by Visual, and a dance party with DJ Sarah White to wrap it up. Don’t forget the delicious craft cocktails and food by FIKA.” ~American Swedish Institute (website)
