SUMMARY:A reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues of Ball-Nogues Studio
DESCRIPTION:Free – Please RSVP\nOn Thursday\, May 9th\, 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 reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues of Ball-Nogues Studio \n\nBenjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues of Ball-Nogues Studio \nBenjamin Ball grew up in Colorado and Iowa where his mother’s involvement in theatre proved influential. While studying for his degree at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc)\, Ball logged a stint at Gehry Partners. Upon graduation\, he sought work as a set and production designer for films (including the Matrix series) as well as music videos and commercials with such influential directors as Mark Romanek and Tony Scott. His experience ranges from work on the Disney Concert Hall and small residential architectural commissions for boutique design firms to complex medical structures and event design. \nGaston Nogues was born and raised in Buenos Aires before moving to Los Angeles at the age 12. Frequently accompanying his father to his job as an aerospace engineer\, Nogues acquired a fascination with the hands-on process of building. An honors graduate in architecture from SCI-Arc\, he moved directly from school into a position at Gehry Partners where he worked in product design and production; he then became a specialist in creative fabrication. Nogues remained at Gehry’s office until 2005 (except for a one-year stint in 1996 as an assistant curator at a fine arts publishing house\, Gemini GEL). In his spare time\, Nogues flies paragliders. \nBall-Nogues is a collaborative design and fabrication studio led by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues that produces architecture\, art\, and industrial objects. The studio has exhibited at major institutions throughout the world\, including the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; the Museum of Modern Art; the Guggenheim Museum; PS1; Indianapolis Museum of Art\, arc en rêve centre d’architecture + Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux; the Venice Biennale\, the Hong Kong | Shenzhen Biennale; and the Beijing Biennale. They have received numerous honors including two AIA Design Awards\, United States Artists Target Fellowships\, and a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. In 2007\, the Studio was the winner of the Museum of Modern Art’s Young Architects Program Competition. Recently\, their work became part of the collection of the MoMA. The partners have taught in the graduate architecture programs at SCI-Arc; the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, and the University of Southern California. Their work has appeared in a variety of publications worldwide including the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Guardian\, Architectural Record\, Artforum\, Icon\, Log\, Architectural Digest\, and Sculpture. \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 (Left to Right): Benjamin Ball & Gaston Nogues\, Installation at San Diego International Airport by Ball-Nogues Studio\, Healing Pavillion in Los Angeles by Ball-Nogues Studio. \n\nUpcoming Schedule\nMay 23rd Sylvia Lavin (rescheduled)\nJune 4th Lucia Allais (Princeton) \n  \n

SUMMARY:Book Signing + Conversation with Rohina Hoffman and Aline Smithson
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, May 18th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join us at Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing and conversation with Rohina Hoffman and Aline Smithson in celebration of the launch of Hair Stories. \nHair Stories is a series of excerpted interviews and color portraits of a diverse array of women that explores the complex relationship women have with their hair. Indian-born\, Los Angeles–based photographer Rohina Hoffman deployed the interviewing skills she has developed in her training as a neurologist to establish an intimate rapport that allowed for a truthful dialogue about the role of hair in these women’s lives. Though conceived and shot before the #MeToo movement\, this salient project presents hair as a metaphor for identity\, femininity\, and the manner in which women struggle for control over their own bodies in a sometimes misogynistic world. Hair Stories shows that hair is more than just style or aesthetics; it is a physical manifestation of the ongoing hope and history of women. \nBorn in India and raised in New Jersey\, Rohina Hoffman is a fine art photographer whose practice uses portraiture and the natural world to investigate themes of identity\, home\, women’s issues\, and adolescence. A graduate of Brown University Medical School and resident at UCLA Medical Center\, her training led to a career as a neurologist. While an undergraduate at Brown University\, Rohina also studied photography at RISD and was a staff photographer for the Brown Daily Herald. A skilled observer of her patients\, Rohina was instilled with a deep and unique appreciation of the human experience. Her ability to forge the sacred trust between doctor and patient has been instrumental in fostering a parallel connection between photographer and subject. \nAline Smithson is an artist\, educator\, and editor based in Los Angeles. She is best known for her conceptual portraiture and a practice that uses humor and pathos to explore the performative potential of photography. Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood\, her work is influenced by the elevated unreal. She received a BA in art from the University of California at Santa Barbara and was accepted into the College of Creative Studies. After a decade-long career as a New York Fashion Editor\, Aline returned to Los Angeles and to her own artistic practice. She founded LENSCRATCH\, a photography journal that celebrates a different contemporary photographer each day\, has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine\, and has curated and jurored numerous exhibitions.

SUMMARY:A reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Lucia Allais
DESCRIPTION:Free – Please RSVP\nOn Tuesday\, June 4th\, from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm\, Helms Bakery District and the Cal Poly LA Metro Program in Architecture and Urban Design will host a reception\, lecture\, and discussion with Lucia Allais – Designs of Destruction: The Making of Monuments in the 20th Century\n\nLucia Allais \nLucia Allais is an architectural historian and critic who writes about the relationship between architecture\, technology\, and politics in the modern period\, with a special focus on global practices and international institutions. \nHer first book\, Designs of Destruction (Chicago\, 2018) recounts the invention of the “cultural monument” as a global building type in the mid- 20th Century. She has published articles on related themes\, including: “The Architecture of Mediocracy\,” about the design of the UNESCO headquarters\, in Marcel Breuer: Building Global Institutions; “Integrities\,” about the Salvage of the Abu Simbel temples in Grey Room; “The Design of the Nubian Desert” in Governing by Design\, and a translation and commentary of Superstudio’s “Salvages of Italian City Centers” in Log. Allais also writes about contemporary design and about the history of architecture as a discipline\, having published “The Real and the Theoretical 1968\,” in Perspecta. \nForthcoming texts include: a short archaeology of architectural rendering\, in the 2019 edited volume Architecture and Technics; a book project on the ritualization of urban cores in the postwar; and a critical essay on the return of circular form in contemporary architectural design. \nAllais is co-leading\, with Forrest Meggers\, the project “Concrete is 100 years old” which investigates the history of carbonation equation in reinforced concrete\, and its consequences for notions of technical time in history\, architecture\, and the environment. \nAllais has curated a number of exhibitions\, including Legible Pompeii at the 2014 Venice Biennale and Mixed Being at the 2016 Istanbul Triennale. Her work has been supported by a number of fellowships\, including from the CASVA\, the Graham Foundation\, the Harvard Center for European Studies\, the Radcliffe Institute\, and the Princeton Society of Fellows. \nAllais is associate professor at Princeton University School of Architecture. She received her B.S.E from Princeton\, her M.Arch from Harvard and her Ph.D from MIT. From 2008 to 2011 she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Society of Fellows. She is a member of the Aggregate Architectural History Collaborative\, and an editor of Grey Room. \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 (Above\, Left to Right): Lucia Allais; Cover from Designs of Destruction; Illustration from Designs of Destruction: The Salvage of Abu Simbel; Below: Illustration from Designs of Destruction: Ruins of National Museum in Accra. Building by Franco Minissi.

SUMMARY:Women's MMA Art Exhibition Opens on June 6th
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, June 6th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm\, please join us for the opening reception of WOMENʼS MMA- MIXED MEDIA ART 2019\, a five-artist exhibition that packs a punch. \nThis exhibition showcases various techniques and materials from five diverse perspectives; across sculpture\, painting\, collage\, ceramic and neon. \nShelley Heffler transforms found materials\, discarded vinyl advertising and textured acrylic strips to create woven sculpture\, twisting the traditions of feminine crafts with new contemporary forms. \nMarla Fields abstracts the human perception\, layered and obscured\, vibrant and vibrating. Her own vision echoing with the universal. Attempting to connect a disrupted narrative and depict the contradictions of a harmonious yet chaotic new world. \nKaoru Mansour’s delicate\, hyper-realistic\, organisms are suspended in planes of linear design and boundless space. We are given a macrocosmic and microscopic view simultaneously. \nSinan Revell reconfigures the works of male\, surrealist masters collaging female silhouettes on cut-out textures and landscapes. Her Nature Morte installation mixes ceramic with found seed pods. Pink bullets\, S&M postures and neon signage portray a glimpse in to the dystopian\nfuture. \nMika Revellʼs work confronts the viewer with an electrifying shock.

DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, June 8th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a meet and greet with Mark de Paola as he unveils his limited edition publication. \nMark de Paola was literally born into a photo studio on Cahuenga Blvd in Los Angeles\, and grew up splitting time between Los Angeles and New York. His earliest recollections are of watching photo shoots and being completely immersed in the fashion books and periodicals of the time – Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Mark’s photographic foundation is the works of his father Alessio\, Richard Avedon\, Irving Penn\, Bert Stern\, and Art Kane. \nNow based in New York\, Mr. de Paola is a fine art photographer who has had multiple covers for the likes of Vogue Spain and Vogue Mexico\, as well as campaigns and commercials for Donna Karan\, Laura Biagiotti\, Neutrogena\, Gucci\, Brioni\, Sephora\, Sony\, Leica Camera\, Giorgio RED perfume\, and MAC Cosmetics to name a few. He has directed nearly seven hundred television commercials in the fashion and beauty sector and has extensive campaign and retail experience. \n“Created over several years\, “Recent Work” includes portrait\, nude\, landscape\, and inanimate object; illuminating de Paola’s memories\, feelings and impressions of people\, places and objects he has known. Carefully sequenced by the photographer himself\, the series invites viewers to leave behind the everyday and journey with him… Provoking us to project meanings into its viscerally striking\, blurred and saturated forms. De Paola’s desire to wield the lens as an extension of his own body is clear in the subtle way he escorts us through his cinematic world. “Recent Work” is endlessly fascinating and promises to reward those who visit and revisit it again and again.” \n

SUMMARY:New Date! Arcana Books Welcomes Photographer Bill Owens
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, June 29th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with photographer Bill Owens in celebration of the release of Altamont 1969. \nPlease welcome our longtime friend of Arcana Books\, distilling mogul and renowned photographer Bill Owens for some afternoon revelry and drinks to coincide with his brand new book documenting the Rolling Stones’ Altamont Free Festival held in Northern California fifty years ago! In addition to copies of “Altamont 1969”\, there will be a limited supply of his out of print titles “Bill Owens”\, “Working”\, “Leisure”\, and the iconic “Suburbia”. \nBill Owens: Altamont 1969 presents a new and previously unpublished series of photographs of The Rolling Stones’ infamous concert at the Altamont Speedway in Northern California. The Altamont Free Festival has become an emblem of the upheavals and aftershocks of a decade of change\, and where Owens captured a generation’s desire to stand up and raise its voices against the war in Vietnam\, against segregation and racial discrimination\, against authority in general. Owens was hired by the Associated Press to cover what promised to be a huge rock concert whose lineup featured the Stones\, Jefferson Airplane\, The Grateful Dead\, Santana\, The Flying Burrito Brothers\, and Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young. But when he arrived at the Speedway with “two Nikons\, three lenses\, thirteen rolls of film\, a sandwich and a jar of water\,” the photographer witnessed one of the defining moments of the late sixties. The Utopian hopes and innocent conviviality of the 1960s gave way to tension and a deadly violence; as the Stones continued to play and much of the crowd remained oblivious\, an eighteen year-old African-American boy named Meredith Hunter was killed by the Hell’s Angels who had been hired as concert security. This book captures the era’s agitated energy that manifested itself in slogans and billboards\, sit-ins and demonstrations\, and a concert that was treated as a collective rite

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Host Exhibition + Book Signing for Gary Cannone
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, August 3rd from 4:00 and 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts in collaboration with Hubbyco for an exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Gary Cannone’s Albums by Conceptual Artists artworks\, along with a book signing for Forever Now – the limited edition catalogue that documents them! In addition\, there will be a special Conceptual Art-themed record party hosted by Mr. Cannone and the illustrious Tosh Berman.  \nAlbums by Conceptual Artists originated as a crowd-sourced online project in which Gary Cannone encouraged like-minded artists to infiltrate popular and obscure album covers with content from the history of contemporary art in a communal act of parody. Begun as a Facebook comment thread\, a Tumblr site of the project soon followed and grew to over five hundred album cover contributions ranging from transgressive to silly\, from informative to obtuse. Cannone sees the series as a form of fan fiction\, a positive creative act often using arcane minutiae linking the worlds of art and music done by and for art nerds. The artist’s formative influences include 70s comedy such as Norm Crosby\, Wacky Packages\, Carol Burnett\, Mad Magazine\, and the disembodied PA from M*A*S*H (the TV series). He is a 2019 recipient of a California Community Foundation’s Fellowship in Visual Arts grant and his artist’s book\, Time Settings for a Microwave Oven with Broken Three\, Four\, and Nine Buttons was recently acquired by The Getty Museum. His current work explores the phenomenology of furniture in gallery spaces through the lens of a prop comic.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Billy Al Bengston and Joan Agajanian Quinn on September 7th
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, September 7th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, stop by Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing and Q & A with Billy Al Bengston\, moderated by Joan Agajanian Quinn. \nFor more than sixty years Billy Al Bengston has been an innovative and integral part of the Southern California cultural scene. A member of the original group of Los Angeles artists to exhibit at Ferus Gallery\, Mr. Bengston has made a name for himself over the decades in the varied worlds of contemporary art\, surfing\, and dirt-track motorcycle racing. From his early Dentos and Finish / Fetish pieces to delicate watercolors of Dracula bearded irises and beyond\, his work remains remarkably vibrant and ever-inventive. He has been the subject of several major museum retrospectives\, but until now there has never been a single comprehensive book to fully do justice to his prolific body of work. \nAt long last\, from Galerie Neuendorf comes that tome – Billy Al Bengston: Paintings & Watercolors! This lavishly illustrated hardbound volume features hundreds of works spanning 1957 through 2016\, and contains a detailed chronology\, exhibition history\, bibliography\, collections listing\, and more.

SUMMARY:Special Poster Installation Honoring the 100th Anniversary of Bauhaus
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Thursday\, September 19th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm\, please join us for Bauhaus 100\, a poster installation and reception honoring the work of this important art movement. We are pleased to welcome KCRW host of Design and Architecture Frances Anderton and Art Center’s Gloria Kondrup\, for a discussion highlighting the legacy and practices of the school\, with a Q & A to follow. \nThe posters will be on display until Friday\, October 4th during the hours of 10:00 am to 3:00 pm\, Monday through Friday. Please enter through the interior parking garage located at 8711 Washington Boulevard. \nOriginally an avant-garde art school founded by Walter Gropius\, the Bauhaus name soon became synonymous with revolutionary ideas and techniques that found their way into nearly every aspect of arts\, crafts\, typography\, architecture\, and design. Belief in harmony of form and function over the traditional notion of art emerged from the academic circles of Bauhaus\, bringing about unprecedented change to the contemporary art world of the early 20th century and whose ripple effects are felt one hundred years after the birth of this historic movement. \nBauhaus 100 is a poster campaign illustrative of the impact Bauhaus has had on modern\, creative society. This commemorative project has produced a growing collection of more than 400 posters made by designers from all over the globe who have one thing in common — a desire and willingness to experiment with their art\, connecting them directly to the groundbreaking principles and practices of Bauhaus. Just as in 1919\, when Bauhaus’s revolutionary doctrines first brought together artisans and craftsmen from different parts of the world\, today’s global design community joins forces in an expressive celebration of the unique phenomenon that is Bauhaus. \nThis exhibit evolves and grows with each new artwork that is added to the collection. The deadline has been postponed twice\, and we hope that the new deadline of March 31\, 2020 will allow more and more artists to participate in this poster action. Organized by PosterTerritory\, the Helms Bakery exhibition presents more than 70 posters created by a variety of worldwide artists and designers. \nThe Bauhaus 100 poster campaign is curated by Serge Serov\, AGI\, Golden Bee Global Biennale President. \nSupported by BrandCulture. \nThe Corridor Gallery\, 8723 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City \nFree Valet Parking is located at 8711 Washington Boulevard\, the interior garage adjacent to the venue. \n\nABOUT BRANDCULTURE\nBrandCulture is a brand\, organizational and design consultancy that builds strong brands and cultures. They combine insightful strategy\, inspired design\, leading technologies\, and rigorous execution to create significant brands. BrandCulture is proud to support artistic design initiatives and be a part of the Bauhaus 100 Posters Show. \n\nABOUT FRANCES ANDERTON\nFrances Anderton is host of DnA: Design and Architecture\, broadcast weekly on KCRW public radio station and podcast at kcrw.com/dna. For many years Anderton produced KCRW’s acclaimed current affairs shows\, To The Point\, and Which Way\, LA?\, hosted by Warren Olney. Anderton is a regular public speaker and moderator\, and she curates events and exhibitions; these include “Sink Or Swim: Designing For a Sea Change”\, a critically received exhibition about resilient architecture for vulnerable coastlines at the Annenberg Space for Photography. She has written extensively about West Coast design for publications including the New York Times. Her books include Grand Illusion: A Story of Ambition\, and its Limits\, on LA’s Bunker Hill\, based on a studio she co-taught with Frank Gehry and partners at USC School of Architecture. \n\n \nABOUT GLORIA KONDRUP\nGloria Kondrup’s professional career spans the fields of art\, design\, and education. As a design consultant she has helped evolve extensive branding\, identity\, and packaging systems. Companies benefiting from her expertise include Aon\, Avon\, and Goodwill Industries. As a full-time professor at ArtCenter College of Design\, Gloria has been a dedicated design educator for over two decades\, shaping and inspiring future generations of designers. She instills in her students the importance of ethical design practices\, fairness and equality\, and respect for our natural environment. As the Director of Archetype Press\, ArtCenter’s unique and vibrant letterpress studio\, she redefined the value of typography and analog technology in the digital landscape. \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Photographer Michael Jang
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 5th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a meet and great with the semi-reclusive Michael Jang and immerse yourself in his wry images of a kinder\, gentler California that includes the likes of Jack Lemmon\, Peggy Lee\, ‘Ol Blue Eyes\, David Bowie\, The Ramones\, Devo\, The Sex Pistols\, David Hasselhoff\, Jerry Brown\, Harvey Milk\, John Baldessari\, Lee Friedlander\, and many\, many more. \nMichael Jang spent nearly four decades working as a successful commercial portrait photographer whilst quietly assembling a vast archive of thousands of remarkable images and authoring several now-iconic series: “The Jangs” (1973)\, “Beverly Hilton” (1973)\, “San Francisco” (1973–1987)\, “Summer Weather”  (1983)\, “College” (1972–1973)\, “Punks & Poets” (1978–1980)\, and “Garage Band” (2001). For forty years\, Jang revealed nothing of that vast archive until 2001 when he submitted a number of photographs for consideration to The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Once “discovered”\, his work has steadily gained acclaim and over the past fifteen years those images have found a wider audience in a series of museum and galley exhibitions and hard to find books. \nThe artist’s first major monograph – “Who Is Michael Jang?” – is published by Atelier Éditions in conjunction with his first major retrospective exhibition\, “Michael Jang’s California”. Curated by Michael Jang’s long-time collaborator and the book’s essayist\, SFMoMA curator emerita of photography\, Sandra S. Phillips\, the show will be on view September 27th\, 2019 to January 18th\, 2020 at The McEvoy Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco \n
