Sirkin regarding Markosian’s new Aperture monograph\, Father. \nFather is an intimate and engrossing diaristic portrayal of estrangement and reconnection\, recounted through documentary photographs\, family snapshots\, text\, and visual ephemera. It presents the photographer’s journey to another place and another time\, where Markosian attempts to piece together an image of a familiar stranger – her long-lost father. The book explores her father’s absence\, her reconciliation with him\, and the shared emptiness of their prolonged estrangement. The images\, made over the course of a decade\, take place in her father’s home in Armenia. In Markosian’s first monograph\, Santa Barbara (Aperture\, 2020)\, the photographer recreates the story of her family’s journey from post-Soviet Russia to the US in the 1990s. Father uses both documentary photographs and archives of objects\, letters\, and vernacular images to probe the fifteen years of absence and separation from the photographer’s childhood. In this voyage of self-discovery\, Markosian touchingly renders her longing for connection to a man she barely remembers and who asks her\, when she finds him\, “Why did it take you so long?” \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of Father\, please place your order below. \nDiana Markosian is at the forefront of a new generation of photographers and directors\, pushing the boundaries of documentary storytelling. By encapsulating different styles and mediums\, Markosian has created a unique approach to image making. Her first monograph\, Santa Barbara\, was published by Aperture and selected as the top book of the year by MoMA and Time. Father\, was chosen as the photo book of the year by Le Monde. Markosian holds a masters degree from Columbia University\, is a contributor to Vanity Fair\, Vogue and The New Yorker \,and has exhibited in leading museums worldwide\, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the International Center of Photography in New York\, and the National Portrait Gallery in London. \nGabrielle Sirkin is a Los Angeles-based photography director and creative producer specializing in commercial and editorial photography driven to create compelling visual storytelling. She has over a decade of experience\, and has worked at major publications such as More Magazine and Airbnb Magazine. Her work has earned her various awards and recognitions including Gold\, Silver and Merit Society of Publication Designers (SPD) Award Winner\, American Photography Winner\, ADC Awards\, Cannes Silver Lion Winner and an Emmy Nomination.

In the aftermath of one of the worst devastations in Los Angeles’ history\, a panel of renowned professionals in architecture\, construction\, and real estate will come together at the Helms Design Center on Thursday\, April 10th\, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm to discuss the present opportunity to rebuild our communities with lasting beauty\, value\, and sustainability. \nLooking at the past to rethink the future\, this panel talk — Architecture: Rebuilding Value — will reflect on the Berkeley-Oakland fire of 1991 as a starting point to move past the impulse to reconstruct mass-produced tract houses. Instead\, we will focus on creating cost-effective\, artistic\, and sustainable designs that not only preserve our environment but also enhance our local culture\, community\, and quality of life for generations to come. \nHelms Design Center        \n8745 Washington Blvd.\, Culver City\, CA 90232 \nReception: 6:00 pm\nPresentations: 6:30 pm\nQ&A: immediately following \nSorry\, this event has reached capacity.

The talk will be followed by the chance to get your copy signed by Luisa herself! \nLuisa Opalesky (b. 1987) is an artist whose practice seeks to connect with all walks of life through photography\, dance\, and film. Originally from Philadelphia\, she earned a BFA in photography under the mentorship of George Pitts at Parsons New School for Design. She draws inspiration from her elders\, multicultural background\, glamour\, squalor\, going to the cinema three times a week\, and her home downtown in New York City. Her work is consistently characterized by its vibrant color\, hazard\, and comedic relief. \nBig City Nobody is Opalesky’s debut photography book. Published by Spotz Studios and featuring work created between 2020 and 2024\, the photographs in the book reveal glimpses of daily life\, vibrancy of nightlife\, and outtakes from assignments commissioned by the New York Times and Interview magazine. The collection unfolds with a flow reminiscent of walking crosstown caffeinated and immersed in the pulse of the city. The book includes writings by Alissa Bennett\, Susie Essman\, Daniel Arnold\, and Teardrop. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of Big City Nobody\, please place your order below. \nJoin Arcana on April 26th for good talk\, good books\, and free libations.

LGLA helmed the landscape restoration of the landmark Hindry House and recently completed the renovation of the landscape for a 1910 Sylvanus Marston Craftsman home\, both in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Pasadena\, California. LGLA has long promoted sustainable and regionally appropriate solutions to projects regardless of complexity or scale. Designs evolve from a respect for cultural and historical contexts and reflect the qualities of the site and client goals.

This new publication from Timeless Edition takes you deep into the world behind the camera: the set\, the atmosphere\, and the many individuals — technicians\, casting director\, actors and non-actors alike — that accompanied or inspired Kroll throughout the shoot. More than a simple behind-the-scenes document\, HARDCORE also includes the photographer’s own reflections\, commentary and a recent interview he conducted with adult film actress Serena. The book also features a foreword from Paul Schrader accompanied by a rare text he penned in 1978 for a publishing project about the film that was never completed. Together\, these elements reveal a deeply personal and unexpectedly intimate perspective on the film and on the porn film industry at the end of the 1970s. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a SIGNED copy of Hardcore\, please place your order below. \nJoin Arcana on June 7th for good talk\, good books\, and free libations.
