SUMMARY:Arcana Book Signing with Jim Ganzer: Life Lived
DESCRIPTION:Free \nJoin Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, April 27th\, between 4:00 and 6:00 PM for a book signing with OG coastal cultural icon Jim Ganzer to celebrate the publication of his brand new\, limited edition photographic memoir from the creative folks at Indoek: Life Lived. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at Arcana\, please place your order here. \nWe look forward to seeing you! \n\n“Jim Ganzer is widely known as a Malibu surf legend and an underground L.A. icon. He and his group of surf friends inspired the 1978 film\, Big Wednesday\, written and directed by John Milius. When the Coen brothers were developing The Big Lebowski\, Milius introduced them to Ganzer\, who influenced Jeff Bridges’ famous character\, The Dude. A graduate of Chouinard Art Institute\, Jim Ganzer emerged as an artist when the surf and skate culture-inspired world was not yet a billion-dollar industry\, but an afterthought in a mostly hardware-focused segment. He became the voice of the subculture in the ’80s for inventing innovative garments combining form with function for his surf and skatewear brand\, Jimmy’Z. Ganzer collaborated with Ed Ruscha on several works\, such as ‘Brave Men Run in My Family’ and ‘Sea of Desire’ and also starred in Ruscha’s film\, Miracle. He has shown his art in many esteemed group and solo exhibits in California and all over the world since 1971.” \nImages courtesy of Indoek

SUMMARY:Join Westside Urban Forum for Light Bites + Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Adaptive Reuse: Can It Save Post-Pandemic Los Angeles?\n7:45 am – 9:30 am\n7:45 am – Registration & Light Breakfast\n8:15 am – Panel Discussion \nMEMBERS REGISTER HERE\nGUESTS REGISTER HERE\nFour years after the onset of the pandemic and the resulting work-from-home trend\, the office market in Los Angeles continues to experience significant challenges with increased vacancy\, sluggish leasing\, and financially burdened ownership. This market disruption has hollowed out many commercial centers that were traditionally reliant on office workers\, resulting in decreased foot traffic and the shuttering of restaurant and retail establishments. Many policy experts have suggested that the rejuvenation of commercial centers requires the reinvention of office centers into mixed-use districts with round-the-clock activation. \nIn order to achieve this\, it has been suggested that lightly used office buildings could be converted into residential space\, providing a much-needed boost in activity. In response\, the City of Los Angeles has released a proposed Adaptive Reuse Ordinance that is intended to encourage these conversions. A similar measure was adopted in Downtown Los Angeles and helped to usher in the boom of residential development that occurred in the neighborhood in the ensuing two decades. However\, few office-to-residential conversions have been successfully executed in recent years\, and experts in the field have commented that there are significant financial\, engineering\, and policy challenges that stand in the way of a meaningful wave of residential conversions. \nDoes the City’s proposed ordinance do enough to overcome these challenges? Are there other converted uses that have a higher chance of success? And how does the environmental benefit of preserving the embodied carbon in existing office buildings come into play? \nJoin the Westside Urban Forum as a panel of experts in the development\, design\, and public policy fields break down these complex issues. This event aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities of office conversion while discussing the path forward for conversion. \nModerator\nAdrian Scott Fine – President and CEO\, Los Angeles Conservancy \nPanelists\nHolly Harper\, AIA – Planning Assistant\, Urban Design Studio\, Los Angeles City Planning\nMatthew Wister – Studio Director/Senior Associate\, Studio One Eleven\nRachelle Habchi\, M.S.\, P.E. – Project Engineer & Director of Sustainability\, Glotman Simpson Structural Engineers \nRegistration Fees\n$50 Members\n$65 Non-Members\n$10 Student Members & Retired Members\n$15 Student Non-Members & Retired Non-Members \nPre-registration closes on Wednesday\, May 15th. After Wednesday\, May 15th\, onsite registration will be available at the cost of an additional $10. No refunds or credits will be provided after this day. \nDirections\nAvoid the stress of rush hour and skip traffic! The Helms Design Center at 8745 Washington Blvd in Culver City is conveniently located a short\, pleasant walk from a number of transit lines\, including: \nMetro Rail “E” (Expo) Line Culver City Station (1 block west at Washington and National Blvds)\, and \nCulver City Bus “1” and “1C1” lines (at the adjacent Washington Blvd/Helms Avenue street corner). \nProtected bike lanes along Washington Blvd. connecting to Culver City’s larger bike lane network also provide a convenient\, safe way to get to the Design Center. \nFor those who choose to drive\, parking is available throughout the Helms Bakery complex. Please note that the garage at 8711 Washington is no longer available for use. \nClick Here for the Helms Bakery District Parking Map \nSponsor Provided Tickets\nThanks to the generosity of our annual Sponsors\, WUF has a small number of free tickets available to members of the community. If you are not able to join as a member or purchase a ticket for this month’s panel presentation\, but would like to join us\, please write us at info@westsideurbanforum to inquire if we have any remaining sponsor provided tickets.

Imaginative and ambitious\, the projects reveal the incredible diversity of ideas that have emerged from the world’s most influential architects—and many you’ve never heard of. Spanning nearly 80 countries\, the book presents concepts for projects of all types: museums\, art galleries\, cemeteries\, churches\, bridges\, skyscrapers\, hotels\, theme parks\, casinos\, opera houses\, government buildings\, and even a floating theatre boat that resembles a UFO. Seen together\, the projects conjure a strange and wonderful new world while simultaneously offering insight into how architectural projects have been conceived and developed (and dashed) over the last 100 years. The book also includes previously unpublished prints\, paintings\, drawings\, etchings\, preparatory sketches\, and images that bring these alternate histories to life. \nSam Lubell is Editor at Large at Metropolis. He has written more than ten books about architecture for Phaidon\, Rizzoli\, The Monacelli Press\, Metropolis Books\, and Oro Editions. He writes for The New York Times\, The Los Angeles Times\, Fast Company\, Architectural Digest\, Wallpaper\, Dwell\, Architect Magazine\, and other publications. He has co-curated four major architecture exhibitions and taught as an adjunct professor at Syracuse University School of Architecture\, Columbia University GSAPP\, and Arizona State University The Design School. \nFor more than a decade\, Greg Goldin was Architecture Critic at Los Angeles Magazine. He has written a half dozen books about architecture for Phaidon\, Rizzoli\, and Metropolis Books. His work has appeared in the New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, Metropolis\, and the Architect’s Newspaper. He co-curated the museum exhibitions Never Built Los Angeles and Never Built New York\, and has taught as an adjunct professor at USC\, UCLA\, Syracuse University School of Architecture\, and Columbia University GSAPP. He resides in Los Angeles where he continues a family tradition of being a thorn in the side of the rich and powerful. \nFrances Anderton covers Los Angeles design and architecture in print\, broadcast media and public events. She is the author of Common Ground: Multifamily Housing in Los Angeles\, which won the 2022 Gold award for best Regional Nonfiction from Foreword Reviews.

SUMMARY:Arcana Book Signing with LA Photographer Paul Mpagi Sepuya
DESCRIPTION:Join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, November 2nd\, between 4:00 and 6:00 PM for a book signing and conversation between noted Los Angeles-based photographer Paul Mpagi Sepuya and art historian Gökcan Demirkazik to celebrate the publication of the brand new Aperture monograph Dark Room A-Z by Paul Mpagi Sepuya. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at the shop\, please place your order below! \nORDER SIGNED COPY\nWe look forward to seeing you! \n“Paul Mpagi Sepuya reflects on the methodologies\, strategies\, and points of interest behind a single\, expansive body of work at a pivotal moment in his career. Sepuya’s photography is grounded in a collaborative\, rhizomatic approach to studio practice and portraiture. This volume unpacks his Dark Room series (2016–21)\, offering a deep dive into the thick network of references and the interconnected community of artists and subjects that Sepuya has interwoven throughout the images. The excavation and mapping of intellectual and artistic data points across the artist’s work is presented through three distinct ‘voices\,’ allowing for a comprehensive cross-referencing of conceptual categories. Each category is alphabetized and illuminated via new texts by curator and scholar Gökcan Demirkazik; selections from previously published texts about the work by critics\, colleagues\, and friends; quotations of other writers’ work that inspire the artist; along with writings by the artist on his thematic preoccupations as they appear and reappear throughout this ongoing body of work. Dark Room A–Z serves as an iterative return and exhaustive manual to the strategies and generative ways of working that have informed Sepuya’s image-making over the past two decades.” \nPaul Mpagi Sepuya is a Los Angeles–based artist. His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, Guggenheim Museum\, and Studio Museum in Harlem\, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles\, among other institutions. Notable recent exhibitions include a solo survey at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis\, a solo exhibition at Amsterdam’s Foam museum\, the 2019 Whitney Biennial\, and Being: New Photography 2018 at the Museum of Modern Art. \nGökcan Demirkazik is an art historian\, curator\, and critic\, and is currently a PhD student in art history at University of California\, Los Angeles. His writing has appeared in ArtAsiaPacific\, Artforum\, ArtReview\, di’van: A Journal of Accounts\, Even\, and Frieze. \nUpcoming Arcana Events \nSaturday\, November 9th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\nPatrick O’Dell: Epicly Later’d\nBook Signing \nSaturday\, November 16th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\nLorcan O’Herlihy + Greg Goldin: Building in Place\nBook signing + Discussion \nSaturday\, November 23rd\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\nRyan McGinley: Yearbook\nBook Signing \nSaturday\, November 21st\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\nHuggy Bear: Killed (Of Kids)\nBook Launch
