00:00Welcome to MEDIEN.TV, heading to London, where the first exhibition in the UK is taking place,

00:14dedicated exclusively to the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch as a portraitist,

00:19with unpublished works in the UK, such as the portrait of lawyer Thor Lutken

00:25and physicist Felix O. Bach, by Edvard Munch.

00:29Munch's works will be explored through the portraits of his family,

00:33his fellow poets, his patrons and his friends from the 1880s to the 1920s.

00:40With more than 40 works, the exhibition is organized in a thematic and chronological way,

00:45attracting visitors on a four-part journey through Munch's close family,

00:51his interactions with the avant-garde artists he attends, his patrons and collectors,

00:56and finally, his closest confidants, his guardians.

01:00I invite you to listen to Alison Smith, the curator of the exhibition.

01:06This exhibition is Edvard Munch's portraits.

01:09It brings together 45 of his portraits, which date from the 1880s all the way through to his death in 1944.

01:35Munch sought the protection of active people in the fields of law, business and medicine,

01:41which he considered as his tutors, which exerted a stabilizing influence on a man

01:47who suffered, in a way, from various mental and physical health problems throughout his life.

01:53The work therefore shows that Munch was a more social person than we often think.

01:59It takes us beyond Munch as a painter of existential isolation and solitude.

02:13Visitors will first discover the first portraits of Munch's family,

02:17made in the 1880s and 1890s.

02:22These intimate images are often painted on small pieces of cardboard

02:27in a naturalistic way, introducing key concepts found throughout the artist's work.

02:33Evening, painted in 1888, serves as a prototype for Munch's symbolic works in the 1890s.

02:41It shows Munch's sister Laura on holiday with her family,

02:44just a year before she was definitively hospitalized for schizophrenia,

02:49capturing her feeling of alienation from her environment.

02:53Andrea Munch's Sandween Anatomy is a first expression of the fascination

02:58that the artist has always had for medicine and doctors,

03:01as well as for the idea of death, which would haunt and traverse the whole of his work.

03:07Let's listen to Alison Smith, curator of this beautiful exhibition.

03:12He loved his family, even though he had a difficult relationship with them,

03:17but he obviously remained in contact with them, and you can see his appreciation.

03:21Visitors learn that Munch was a very agitated person.

03:25He was constantly on the move, he was a very loyal friend,

03:29he loved his family, even if he had difficult relationships with them.

03:33But he often stayed in contact with them.

03:35The portraits he painted testify to his recognition and love for them.

03:40He frequented many intellectuals, artists and writers,

03:44and it is they, you know, who make up most of his models.

03:49But he is also, in a very good way, with many of his patrons,

03:52who have become important collectors of his works.

03:56The portraits are therefore those of champions of his art

04:00and of people who embody the same values and the same beliefs.

04:11And from music now and in the direction of Cuba,

04:14the discovery of the tres, the national instrument of Cuba.

04:18It is similar to the guitar, since it belongs to the family of guitars,

04:22the national instrument of Cuba.

04:24The world of the tres is traditionally dominated by men,

04:27and this is said by a good player of the tres, who plays like a macho,

04:31but musicians like Yairima Blanco, Enid Rosales and Gianni Quiñones

04:36claim that women are increasingly present on stage

04:39and that they play in ensembles of traditional tres.

04:42Today, Yairima is the director and leader of the Septuor,

04:45Yairima Blanco and San Latino, where she challenges more than one myth every day.

04:50Playing the tres is one of her challenges,

04:52and it is a high-coordinated instrument born in the rural areas,

04:56the star of the soundtracks of Cuban peasant parties.

04:59I suggest you listen to Yairima Blanco, Gianni Quiñones and Enid Rosales.

05:06I had never seen a tres before, only on television.

05:10Studying the instrument and daring to do what few women dared to do,

05:14gave my life a different flavor.

05:20When a woman becomes a member of one of these traditional ensembles,

05:24the question always arises of knowing to what extent she will do well,

05:28if she will adapt to the style, to the concept,

05:31and if she will be at the same level as the other male members.

05:37We fight every day for women to have their own space and their own concept.

05:43You have to stop saying, you play like a woman or you play like a man.

05:47These clichés have to stop.

06:07Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.
