SUMMARY:Opening Exhibition with Artist Liza Philosof at the Helms Design Center
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, November 15th from  7 to 10 pm\, please join us for the opening event of L A Y E R S\, the first solo exhibition by Liza Philosof to take place in Los Angeles. \nL A Y E R S contains paintings made by Philosof between 2015 and 2018\, along with a video made last year during an art residence on Pico Island.  One of the major inspiration sources for the artist was her visit to Pico Island and being surrounded by 3 elements: water\, basalt stone\, and plants. Some paintings are drawn with markers on canvas\, with most of the paintings produced with acrylics during the summer of 2018. \n“I see my paintings as a visual extension of my emotional journey in life. A reflection of the struggles and challenges we all have. Climbing a mountain or crossing an ocean are just metaphors of deep tectonic movement happening in our souls. Nature has endless layers\, as we have. In paintings\, I try to embrace observing nature with an interpretation of what our inner world looks like. I feel that one of my secret missions is to continue to see life in color.” \nAbout the Artist \nLiza Philosof is a visual artist\, art director\, and graphic designer based in West Hollywood and originally from Israel. Philosof is currently working with designers and artists\, but continues to participate in exhibitions\, festivals\, projects\, and partnerships all over the world. Brand collaborations include: Adidas originals\, Absolut\, Heineken\, Insight\, Azores Fringe Festival\, and Cannes Film Festival. Philosof graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem in 2011\, where her experimentation with color and shape depths began. \nFor more info about the artist:  lizaphilosof.com | liza.philosof@gmail.com | eventbrite | Facebook | Instagram \nClosing event: Thursday\, November 29th\, 7 to 10 pm

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a SUPERSONIC Book Signing with author Lawrence Azerrad
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 17th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a SUPERSONIC book signing with author LAWRENCE AZERRAD. \nWhen the first commercial Concordes zoomed off the runways in Paris and London in the late 1960s\, crossing the Atlantic in just under three hours\, they established a new standard for luxury flight. Powered by 38\,000 pounds of thrust and easily recognizable with its delta wing and drooping nose\, the Concorde jet embodied the pinnacle of aviation technology and industrial design. It quickly became the preferred mode of transatlantic flight for superstars and business moguls alike. \nOpening with a lively history of the jet and how it changed travel\, Supersonic focuses on the look and feel of the Concorde. Photos of the jet’s evolving interiors show how the original\, starkly designed cabin gave way to luxury seats and interiors designed by the likes of Sir Terence Conran and Andrée Putman. Filled with fascinating historical and technical background drawn from the author’s personal collection of more than one thousand Concorde-related objects\, this elegant book offers rarely seen historical photography and firsthand contributions from the people who helped create the Concorde experience from take-off to landing and beyond. Mr. Azerrad will speak and give a visual presentation regarding this charming and vital aspect of Aviation history beginning at 4:30 PM. \nArcana Books Upcoming Events\nSaturday\, December 1st\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\,  A CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE OF BILL BERKSON \nSunday\, December 2nd\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\, ED TEMPLETON: TANGENTIALLY PARENTHETICAL \nMonday\, December 3rd\, 6:00 – 8:00 PM\, THIS IS MEXICO CITY – BOOK SIGNING WITH AUTHOR ABBY CLAWSON LOW at the KNEELAND CO. HOLIDAY POP-UP at Show Gallery – 1515 N. Gardner Street Los Angeles\, CA 90046 \nSaturday\, December 8th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\, MONA KUHN: BUSHES & SUCCULENTS \, MONA KUHN IN CONVERSATION WITH DEANNA TEMPLETON PRESENTED WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTS COUNCIL / LOS ANGELES \nSaturday\, December 15th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\, TODD HIDO: BRIGHT BLACK WORLD

SUMMARY:Louis Poulsen Hosts a Celebration of Hope Gala Supporting Huntington's Disease Society
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 17th from 6:30 to 10 pm\, Huntington’s Disease Society and Louis Poulsen invite you to the first annual Celebration of Hope Gala – Shine a Light on HD.  The Shine a Light on HD Gala will be a night to remember as members of the Lighting and Architectural Design communities join forces in support of those faced with HD. \nHuntington’s Disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. HD is known as the quintessential family disease because every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of carrying the faulty gene. Today\, there are approximately 30\,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200\,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. Many describe the symptoms of HD as having ALS\, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. Though there is no known cure at this time\, researchers are getting closer every day\, and your support is needed! \nEvening will include an elevated plant based cuisine by Monsiuer Oui\, music by DJ Scott Silva\, organic and biodymic wines by Bar and Garden\, a silent auction\, and a chance to bid on an iconic Louis Poulsen Artichoke pendant (color of your choice) – All proceeds benefiting HDSA. \nFor more information\, tickets\, donations\, and sponsorships\, visit: http://bit.ly/shinehd \nThe Huntington’s Disease Society of America is the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s disease. From community services and education to advocacy and research\, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with Huntington’s disease and their families. HDSA’s network of chapters\, affiliates\, HDSA Centers of Excellence\, social workers and support groups provides a seamless connection for help\, education and outreach to HD families and health care professionals across the United States.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Celebration Honoring Bill Berkson
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 1st from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts to celebrate the publication of Bill Berkson’s\, Since When: A Memoir in Pieces\, with a presentation by friends\, family\, and colleagues honoring his life and work. \nBill Berkson was a poet\, art critic\, and joyful participant in the best of postwar and bohemian American culture. He collaborated with many artists and writers\, including Alex Katz\, Philip Guston\, and Frank O’Hara. He was the author of several collections of poetry and criticism\, and appeared in ARTnews\, Art in America\, and many more. Formerly a professor of liberal arts at the San Francisco Art Institute\, he was born in New York in 1939\, and died in June 2016. Since When: A Memoir in Pieces gathers the ephemera of a life well lived\, a collage of bold-face names such as John Cage\, Allen Ginsburg\, and Marilyn Monroe\, parties\, exhibitions\, and literary history from a man who could write “of [Truman Capote’s Black and White] ball\, which I attended as my mother’s escort\, I have little recollection” and reminisce about imagining himself as a character from Tolstoy while tripping on acid at Woodstock. Gentle\, witty\, and eternally generous\, this is Bill\, and a particular moment in American history\, at its best. \nThis celebration launches with a very special tribute to Bill Berkson featuring readings from his works by Moses Berkson\, Constance Lewallen\, DeeDee Gordon\, Karen Moss\, Joan Simon\, Mitch Temple\, Dorit Cypis\, Aram Saroyan\, Michael Smoler\, and Lisa John.

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for an afternoon with Ed Templeton!
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Sunday\, December 2nd from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host their longtime pal\, Ed Templeton for what promises to be a stellar afternoon of good vibes\, delicious libations\, and holiday gift shopping! \nTangentially Parenthetical is a selection of photographs from Ed Templeton’s vast street photography archive – curated\, arranged\, and then rearranged by the man himself. The follow up to his 2014 Um Yeah Arts survey Wayward Cognitions\, Tangentially Parenthetical picks up where the latter collection ended. By combining intimate\, accidental\, and unconnected moments into one linear piece of work\, he tells hundreds of new stories through the thoughtful arrangement of semi-related-yet-completely-unfastened imagery. “I’m out there shooting photos all the time that don’t necessarily fall under any theme other than general life\,” says Templeton\, “which is a lame title for a book.” With a wink to the absurd\, sandwiched between a cover of patterned parentheses and with an afterword built from his own stream-of-consciousness storytelling\, Templeton delivers a visual mountain from an archive of stunning molehills in which the images are carefully chosen\, shuffled by hand\, and laid out with the dueling impulses of wonder and wit.

Through intimacy with her subjects\, knowledge of traditional iconography\, and technical mastery\, Kuhn portrays the complexities of human nature\, both tempting and provoking our imagination. Newly published by Stanley / Barker in the UK\, Bushes & Succulents is Mona Kuhn’s celebration of the female essence – confident\, raw and elegant\, yet confrontational and unapologetic. \nReminiscent of Georgia O’Keeffe’s floral paintings\, your eyes wander around the graceful lines\, not knowing exactly what you are looking at. Kuhn’s use of the solarization process reveals human imperfections in the metallic brilliance of the skin\, and brings to the surface a woman’s struggles\, strengths\, and power. The photographer states: “The frame reminded me of early childhood\, at age eight or so\, when I would jump in the shower with my mother. It resonates an adoration and child-like curiosity for what it is to be a woman. My intention is not to objectify the body\, but to celebrate the female body and its essence.” \n

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a Special Performance by Anthony Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Sunday\, December 9th from 4 to 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as Anthony Wilson will be performing an intimate set from Songs and Photographs with Jay Bellerose\, Patrick Warren\, and Garret Lang followed by a discussion with producer Joe Harley and publisher Nina Holland of Little Steidl. \nIn the new album and photobook Songs and Photographs – beautifully produced in collaboration with German art book publisher Little Steidl – Anthony Wilson brings together a collection of his songs and 35mm photographs that opens a new chapter in his broadening quest for personal and musical authenticity. \n“Most mornings I wake up and go out wandering with my camera\, sometimes in my hometown of Los Angeles\, often in places around the world where I am traveling on tour. I look\, watch\, and take in the space around me. I’m conscious of my attentive state\, totally absorbed in noticing things. My path determines itself\, each picture leads me to the next. It’s a meandering journey through a landscape or cityscape\, but also through my own personal experience. Often the smallest things are what stop me in my tracks and compel me to point the camera and snap the shutter. In Songs and Photographs\, the visual and musical paths of my process converge into a single work in which the songs and the photographs speak back and forth to each other.”  \nBorn in Los Angeles in 1968\, guitarist and composer Anthony Wilson is known for a body of work that moves fluidly across genres. The son of legendary jazz trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson\, his musical lineage has deeply influenced his creative trajectory\, compositional choices\, instrumental groupings\, and the wide-ranging twelve album discography that blooms out of them. \nUpcoming Arcana Books Events \nSaturday\, December 15\n4 to 6 PM\nTODD HIDO: BRIGHT BLACK WORLD\nBook Signing \nSunday\, December 16\n4 to 6 PM\nEVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT COLLECTING FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY\nPeter Fetterman in conversation with Lee Kaplan

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Celebrates Todd Hido's Bright Black World
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 15th from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts  to celebrate the publication of Todd Hido’s magnificent new book\, Bright Black World from Nazraeli Press. Stop by to quaff refreshments\, socialize\, and engage in some festive last-minute holiday shopping. \nFor over two decades\, Todd Hido has crafted narratives through loose and mysterious suburban scenes\, desolate landscapes\, and stylized portraits. He has traversed North America capturing places that feel at once familiar and unknown; welcoming and unsettling. Underscoring the influences of Nordic mythology and specifically the idea of Fimbulwinter\, which translates into the ‘endless winter’\, Hido’s new monograph\, Bright Black World alludes to and provides form for this notion of an apocalyptic\, never-ending winter. Exploring the dark terrain of the Northern European landscape and regions as far as the North Sea of Japan enchanted Hido\, calling him back on several occasions. This presents the artist’s first significant foray extensively photographing territory outside of the United States\, chronicling a decidedly new psychological geography. \nOpening with a text by Alexander Nemerov\, Bright Black World contains forty-eight plates printed in an over-sized format\, featuring two vertical gatefolds and a fold-out poster measuring some 25 by 40 inches. This first printing is limited to 3\,000 cloth bound copies.

SUMMARY:Lecture and Discussion with Michael Osman
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, Jan 17\, from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Helms Bakery District and the Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design are excited to host a presentation and discussion with Michael Osman. \n\nAbout Michael Osman \nMichael Osman is an Associate Professor and the Director of the Critical Studies and M.A./Ph.D programs at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design. His research in architectural history focuses on the modern period with a particular emphasis on the buildings and cities of the United States. He seeks connections between the infrastructure that undergirds the process of modernization and the historiography of modernist architecture. Some topics of his writing include: the early formation of ecological science and its influence on theories of city growth\, the study of the managerial instruments used for organizing and representing spaces for industrial production\, and the architectural profession’s relation to modern construction processes. In this expanded view of modernism’s history\, he identifies the contributions made by architects and urban thinkers to changes in the modes of life over the last two centuries. Osman’s book\, Modernism’s Visible Hand: Architecture and Regulation in America(University of Minnesota Press)\, focuses on the history of environmental and economic systems of regulation in the United States. A number of his essays address critical problems in modernism’s historiography. These include an examination of Reyner Banham’s use of the term “ecology” and an analysis of the metaphysical aspirations latent in some twentieth-century writings on concrete. Osman is a founding member of Aggregate: The Architectural History Collaborative\, a platform for exploring new methods in architectural history. He is currently chair of the Aggregate Board of Directors. \n\nIntroduced and moderated by Stephen Phillips\, AIA\, PhD\, Principal of Stephen Phillips Architects (SPARCHS) and professor\, director\, Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design (California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo) \nFree Parking is available at the corner of Helms Ave. and Venice Blvd. \nPhotos courtesy of Michael Osman \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Conversation + Book Signing with Dafi Kühne
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 2nd from 4 to 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a meet\, greet\, and book signing with master graphic designer\, Dafi Kühne\, in conversation with Lars Müller and Gloria Kondrup. \nDafi Kühne is a Swiss designer who works with analog and digital ways to produce fresh and unique letterpress-printed posters. Using very different kinds of instruments – from a MacBook to a pantograph – for his compositions\, he pushes the boundaries of design. Never afraid of getting his hands dirty in his creative workshop\, Kühne embraces the labor involved in the entire process of creating a poster from initial idea to finished product. Fusing modern means with the centuries-old tradition of the letterpress\, he forms a new vocabulary on how to communicate through type and form in a truly un-nostalgic way. Never retro\, his work is a clever response to the search for new ways of graphic expression: true print. True Print is also the title of his first comprehensive monograph published by Lars Müller. \nDafi Kühne (*1982) is a graphic designer. He studied Visual Communication at Zurich University of the Arts and owns a design and letterpress printing studio named babyinktwice. He was included in Print magazine’s 20 under 30 list in 2012. \nLars Müller\, born in Oslo in 1955 and a Norwegian citizen\, has been based in Switzerland since 1963. After becoming a graphic designer in Zurich\, extended travels\, and a one-year assistant position with designer Wim Crouwel in Amsterdam\, Müller established his studio in Baden / Switzerland in 1982. In 1983 he published his first book and\, as Lars Müller Publishers\, has produced some six hundred titles to date. Müller is a passionate educator and has taught at various universities in Switzerland and in Europe\, frequently serves on academic and competition juries\, and is currently a member of the steering board of Design Preis Schweiz. From 2013 to 2015\, Müller was the international president of AGI – Alliance Graphique Internationale. \nGloria Kondrup is a full-time professor as well as the Executive Director of the Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography at Art Center College of Design. As the Director of Archetype Press – ArtCenter’s unique and vibrant letterpress studio – she redefines the value of typography and analog technology in the digital landscape. Her fine art printworks and books span both fields of art and design\, and are in private and public collections including AIGA\, The Getty\, and the Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry. As a design consultant to national and international firms she has helped evolve extensive branding\, identity\, and packaging systems for clients including Aon\, Avon\, and Goodwill Industries.

SUMMARY:Urban Forest\, a Meditative Art Exploration Into Nature
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Friday\, March 8th from 7 to 9 pm\, please join us for the opening of Urban Forest\, an art exhibit that is the result of a collaboration between Los Angeles based artists Rachel X Hobreigh and Marcus Maria Jung. \nThe exhibition features painting\, sculpture\, and photography\, inviting the audience into an experience that is both vibrant and meditative\, guiding viewers deeper into the realms of the natural world. Both Hobreigh and Jung are interested in exploring and opening gateways into nature through their works in this exhibition. \nUrban Forest is an invitation to dive into nature and experience the spirit and souls of trees in a unique way. This co-creation with nature is made visible through the two artists’ works\, which are beautifully paired into a contrasting yet energetic and aesthetic experience. The artist’s works share an intimate\, sensory and emotive experience\, even though their styles\, materials\, and techniques are uniquely different. \nOn view until March 20th. \nAbout the Artists\nRachel X Hobreigh is an international artist – she has exhibited in Paris\, France\, Jena\, Germany\, as well as the United States. Hobreigh’s work focuses on depicting the feminine in nature and capturing moments in time. Hobreigh’s latest work invites the viewer to experience paintings of female forms in nature. Her use of color\, composition and choice of scale is vibrant\, dynamic and alive\, while exploring themes of nature mythologies and feminine identity. \nMarcus Maria Jung’s work has been shown in art exhibitions\, installations\, and performances in both Europe and the United States. In his art he is exploring themes such as transience\, environmental crisis\, and a new eco-mythology that is emerging at this time. Jung’s work embodies the ancient and sacred relationship between the human spirit and the natural world. He is part of a new wave of artists and creatives dedicated to healing the planet through artistic practices. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening + Reception with Architect and Filmmaker\, Mina Chow
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, March 20th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm\, please join us for a screening of FACE OF A NATION: What Happened to the World’s Fair?\, along with a reception with filmmaker and architect\, Mina Chow. \nThe film explores how the World’s Fair captured the imaginations and dreams of budding (and established) architects and why its importance has seemed to fade in America. What happened? Why has America’s participation declined? Does our current political climate mean that we’ll never be a part of a World’s Fair again? Examining these questions and more are why Women in Architecture (WiA LA) is excited to present a screening of this thought-provoking documentary by architect-filmmaker Mina Chow. \nChow achieved her professional goals\, but when she finally had the opportunity to attend the event that once inspired her\, she was shocked. Visiting the Shanghai World Expo in 2010\, she noted that the United States’ presence at the fair had dwindled to almost nothing. But why? Who was responsible? Her search for answers led to the making of “FACE OF A NATION“\, a documentary that takes a serious yet entertaining look at what these events meant to us as Americans – and what their absence means to our country as currently comprised. \nThe WiA LA invites you to this special screening to see how a country built by visionaries lost interest in such a visionary event and provides an opportunity to return to the optimism the World Fair embodies. \nThis Event Offers 2 AIA HSW Credits. \nSeating is Limited.

SUMMARY:Join Angel City Press and Robert Inman for a Conversation + Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Tuesday\, March 26\, from 7 to 9 pm\, please join us for a conversation with Robert Inman in celebration of the (re)launch of The Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles. \nThe map may not be the territory\, and the word may not be the thing\, but this guide is as close as it gets. \nSince its first publication by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1965\, this seminal vade mecum of Los Angeles architecture has explored every rich potency of the often relentless\, but sometimes—as the authors have captured here—relenting L.A. cityscape. Revised extensively and updated rigorously since its fifth edition published in 2003\, The Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles now contains ninety-six sections organized in thirteen geographic chapters\, boasting over 200 new additions to over thousands of entries cataloging every crease of Los Angeles County’s metropolitan sheath. \nOriginally written by leading architectural historians Robert Winter—described by Los Angeles Magazine as both the “spiritual godfather” and “father” of L.A. architecture—and the late\, great David Gebhard\, the guide has been revised and edited for a sixth edition by award-winning L.A. urban walker and Winter’s trusted collaborator Robert Inman. Nathan Masters\, historian and Emmy-award-winning host\, producer\, and managing editor of KCET’s Lost LA \, writes the foreword. \nThe Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles\, hailed by many as the built L.A. opus\, explores the manmade structures\, gardens\, parks\, and other physical features of a fulgurous Los Angeles. With singular wit and brio\, the authors artfully steward readers through all regions and styles\, from the Spanish Mexican Period to Postmodern\, American Take-over to High Tech\, and Beaux-Arts to Craftsman. Sites covered begin with the missions of Spanish California and end with projects completed in 2017. \nDr. Robert W. Winter (1924–2019)Lauded as a “Guru\,” “Father\,” and “Godfather” of Los Angeles architecture\, Dr. Robert W. Winter was a renowned historian of fabricated California. Born in Indianapolis\, Indiana in 1924\, Winter received his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University and went on to teach at Dartmouth College\, then UCLA\, before spending thirty-one years as the Arthur G. Coons Professor of the History of Ideas at Occidental College\, where he retired in 1994. In addition to his seminal work\, An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles\, written initially with David Gebhard in 1965 and now in its sixth edition\, Winter’s most notable books include\, Craftsman Style (2004) and The California Bungalow (1980). \nDr. David Gebhard (1927–1996) was a preeminent architectural historian and preservationist. After a long career teaching at UC Santa Barbara\, he is remembered through his many written contributions to both the field writ large and his preservation efforts in both Santa Barbara and Pasadena. \nRobert Inman is the author of A Guide to the Stairways of Los Angeles (2008) and Finding Los Angeles by Foot: Stairstreet\, Bridge\, Pathway\, and Lane (2013). A native son of Los Angeles\, he is an award-winning urban walker and frequent collaborator of his mentor\, Dr. Robert W. Winter.
