SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts a Discussion + Book Signing with Gloria Katz\, Willard Huyck & Manfred Heiting
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 16th between 4 and 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a discussion with Gloria Katz\, Willard Huyck and Manfred Heiting\, celebrating their two significant new books from Steidl. \nVIEWS OF JAPAN FROM THE GLORIA KATZ & WILLARD HUYCK COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS: Most collectors have their own unique attractions and approaches to the objects of their collecting. This exquisitely produced volume features the adventures of Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck – two renowned filmmakers who began collecting Japanese photography more than a decade ago – whose ongoing hunt seems indeed like a Hollywood movie. A memoir about their love of Japanese photography and their experiences collecting it\, Views of Japan makes available a selection of rare masterpieces from their extensive collection along with a personal “script” recounting how they scouted\, debated\, selected\, and ultimately acquired many of the works. This was no small undertaking considering the rarity of some of the images\, particularly those taken before the 1970s. Since 2002\, they have assembled an encyclopedic collection of images from the 19th Century to the present\, including key works by Nobuyoshi Araki\, Hiroshi Hamaya\, Eikoh Hosoe\, Miyako Ishiuchi\, Kikuji Kawada\, Daido Moriyama\, Ikko Narahara\, Issei Suda\, Shomei Tomatsu\, and Shoji Ueda. \nTheir collection was shaped into Views of Japan by photographic historian Manfred Heiting\, the designer and editor of extensive surveys of German\, Soviet\, and Japanese photobooks. The resulting volume is a distinctly personal presentation of one of the greatest private holdings of Japanese photography in the world\, and an accessible look at a practice long ignored by Western histories. \nTHE JAPANESE PHOTOBOOK 1912-1990: Edited by Manfred Heiting – who has also designed and edited extensive surveys of German and Soviet photobooks\, “The Japanese Photobook 1912-1990” illustrates the development of photography in twentieth Century as seen in the photo publications of Japan. Documenting successively the early Modernist influences of European and American Pictorialism\, the German Bauhaus and Imperial military propaganda\, to the complete collapse and destruction of the country in 1945\, it then records a new beginning with the unique self-determination of a young generation of Post-War photographers and visual artists highlighted by the “Provoke” style\, as well as protest and war documentation of the late 1950s to the early ’70s – the signature “Japanese photobook” – as we have come to know it. \nThis massive\, authoritative\, and highly visual undertaking presents an essay by Ryuichi Kaneko – the leading historian of Japanese photobooks\, contributions from Heiting\, Fujimura Satomi\, Duncan Forbes\, Mitsuda Yuri\, Iizawa Kotaro\, Shirayama Mari\, and Matthew S. Witkovsky\, and detailed information and illustrations of over four hundred photographically-illustrated publications. It is the most extensive English-language survey of Japanese photobooks of this period\, and a crucial step in making the history of Japanese photography – long-neglected by the Western canon – accessible to the English-speaking world. \n

SUMMARY:Little Bite Gallery presents Artist Edmound Veyna
DESCRIPTION:Free\nJoin us on Saturday\, November 4th from 7 to 10 pm for the inaugural opening of Little Bite Gallery. Their first show welcomes the artwork of Edmound Veyna in his long-anticipated debut solo exhibition titled UTOPIA: A perfect paradise that doesn’t exist\, but which we all dream of anyway. \nEdmound’s paintings transport viewers to a familiar and beckoning place\, while at the same time confronting the limitations of being human. This disenchantment creates an unexpected effect; it alludes to the power of creativity humans harness to manifest vivid inner realities. His work humbles and inspires\, breaks down and builds up perception. What are viewers left with? The depth and beauty of interacting with a static and vast landscape. They are left to manifest their own desire\, awe\, and nostalgia; they are left to wonder what they might create if their inner realities were as vivid and unapologetic as Edmound’s. \nUTOPIA will be on view for the opening celebration and November 12th from 2:30 pm to 6 pm.\nALL OTHER TIMES by appointment only through November 16th at Helms Design Center.\nTo schedule a viewing\, please call or text Alyssa at (203) 900-4980.

DESCRIPTION:Free\nTHIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT \nJoin us on Thursday\, October 26 from 6 to 8 pm\, as we welcome Louise Sandhaus and a panel of 1980s design giants – April Greiman\, Jeri Heiden\, Jayme Odgers\, Paul Prejza\, and Peter Shire – to remind us of the iconic LA design heyday and explore the motivations and design scene of this moment. \nIn the 1980s the world’s design eye did a double-take as it swung from New York and Europe to Los Angeles and the west coast. It was bright! It was fun! It glowed! Full of swashes\, squiggles\, pixels\, and teaming with attitude and freshness\, LA was shining. April Greiman was creating a new visual language via the freshly-released Apple Mac computer; Jayme Odgers’ new wave design and experimental collage photography was making the scene; Peter Shire gave tangible ceramic form to a California vibe; Sussman/Prezja’s design for the 1984 Olympics may have garnered more global attention than the sports themselves; all of which was accompanied by the visual sound track of album cover design and art direction by Jeri Heiden. \nPlease RSVP as space is limited. \nFree Valet Parking is located inside the interior parking garage at 8711 Washington Boulevard\, next to the Room & Board showroom. \nReception: 6:00 pm | Discussion: 6:30 \n  \nAbout the Panelists: \n\nApril Greiman\nIn the ’80s I was the two inches taller\, long curly-haired director of CalArts Visual Communications Program\, with clients such as; Pacific Design Center\, Ron Rezek Lighting\, MoMA\, Fortuny Museum Venice\, Walker Art Center (Graphic Design in America exhibition branding; Design Quarterly Magazine) and Sci-Arc’s first identity branding. Additionally\, my introduction into the built environment projects began with Barton Myers Architects working on the environmental and graphics package for the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Working in photography\, video\, computer and hybrid processes\, a completely wacky body of work and interests helped me pioneer a career\, which\, to this day\, is hard to live down but rewarded me with inclusion in Apple’s first documentary film\, Mac@30. \n\nJeri Heiden  \nJeri Heiden started as a junior designer at Warner Bros. Records in 1982 and rose to VP\, chief art director in 1986. She designed packaging\, merchandise and advertising campaigns for artists on the WB roster\, in addition to supervising and growing the art department. a-ha\, Brian Wilson\, Chris Isaak\, k.d. lang\, Madonna\, and Van Halen are among hundreds of artists she has collaborated with. \n  \n\nJayme Odgers\nBy the 1980s\, I moved from doing graphic design (1964-1973) to becoming a photographer. Of course\, I couldn’t forget the designer in me\, so I became an unwitting photo-designer starting in the mid-1970s. My concerns were about combining graphic design’s up-down-left-right\, with photography’s foreground-middle-ground-background. \n  \n\n \nPaul Prejza\, Sussman/Prejza\nIn 1980\, Sussman/Prejza was on the threshold of momentous growth and becoming a major player in environmental graphic design. They had just landed two new clients who would provide them with a significant portion of their work over the decades – working on office buildings and retail shopping centers. Paul\, had been working full time at Deborah Sussman & Co. for six years and before that moonlighting there for three years.  The firm was incorporated and renamed Sussman/Prejza & Co in 1980.  The 80s would be the most significant decade of their careers. They created the image. They WERE the image. \n\n \nPeter Shire\nThe 1980s: 80 solo exhibitions (some very good\, and some better: completed 30 public sculptures; and collected by 40 public institutions. I am !! years old\, and I have tied my shoes 18\,528 times (more or less) since I was 5 years old. My friend Ettore Sottsass\, described my work as plainly as I see it. His work is\, “sort of a collage\, a sort of unstable collage of more or less broken geometric volumes\, more or less broken mathematical surfaces\, and then there are lines crossing everything and there are memories on top; most of the time the memories are of pale Californian colors and landscapes\, maybe of beaches\, or of sundaes\, or maybe of Sundays with candy-girls skating all around.”

SUMMARY:"STRANDS"\, an Art Installation + Performance with Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 7 from 2 to 6 pm\, please join us for STRANDS\, a special presentation and performance of three artists\, Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo\, in partnership with the Culver City Arts District. \nAmabelle is a fiber artist and sculptor with extensive background in clothing design\, Joy is a masterful Chinese dulcimer player trained in China Central Academy Of Fine Arts who also plays the electric bass\, and Si Jie is an ink painter who dives into the spirit of ancient China to contemplate modernity. All of them work in mediums that are traditionally passed down from generation to generation but yearn to grow and innovate in this ever changing world as citizens of today. \nThe performance piece is a visualization & reenactment of how  ‘strands’ is perceived by three female Asian artists: Amabelle Aguiluz\, Joy Wu and Si Jie Loo. These artists are using traditional tools to give voice to contemporary issues\, using lines from textile\, brush strokes and instruments to connect us\, bind us\, and hopefully de-tangle all the knots of illusions that are detracting us from the ‘truth’. Two 15-minute performances are scheduled at 3 pm and 4 pm. \n“Strands” draws from these artists’ unique mediums and perspective to demonstrate a common contemplation of the past and future\, traditions and modernity\, eastern and western art practices\, and the struggle to juggle multiple identities\, such as women and artist\, ALL at once within one given time and space. \nAmabelle Aguiluz has joined Helms as an artist in residence from September 21 thru October 8. You may visit her in the studio on Tuesdays from 11:00 am to 3 pm. \nAbout the Artists \nAmabelle Aguiluz is a fiber artist living in Los Angeles. She expresses the flow of life as an infinite web of interconnections using the medium of fiber as a symbolic map; linking us to the past\, revealing stories about culture\, and connecting us together. Her preference for using found materials allows her time to explore the process of transformation while collecting and analyzing the materials of her production. Amabelle uses her art as a means to connect with history\, nature\, and her surroundings. Her practice incorporates clothing\, textile\, sculpture\, and installation processes that are presented as free form sculptures and are often incorporated into live performance\, video\, and photographs. She studied at Politecnico di Milano\, Italy and graduated in 2011 from the Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York BFA in Fashion Design. Aguiluz’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including the La Triennale Internationale des Arts Textiles in Outaouais\, Canada. \nSi Jie Loo is a multi-disciplinary artist who is interested in capturing the spirit of humanity\, primarily with Chinese Ink. She received her BA from Dartmouth College with an honors in Studio Art and has since exhibited in both US and Malaysia. As an artist in the diaspora\, she is constantly on the move between places\, cultures\, music genres and languages. One of Si Jie’s creative processes involves tapping into the spirit of Ancient China by embarking on an annual art pilgrimage through various region in China. She inks down captivating people\, musicians\, dancers and nature on the road to further inspire her studio work. Most recently\, she traveled to the Tibetan plateau and the Silk Route in Northeast China. Since returning from her art residency in Malaysia last December\, Si Jie has been working from her home studio in Santa Barbara\, occasionally spotted taking pottery classes\, dancing\, drumming and practicing Taichi in her community. \nJoy Wu is a musician and a lover of culture\, music\, film and art. She started her music journey at the age of four\, influenced by her dear grandmother. Trained in classical music\, she went to Central Conservatory of Music\, in Beijing\, China\, for her traditional Chinese instrument Yangqin. Joy is a member of China Nationalities Orchestra Society\, CNOS. To follow her love for American culture\, she moved to California and received her BA from UC Santa Barbara. Joy is currently based in Los Angeles. \nAbout Yangqin: Yangqin is also called “Chinese dulcimer”. Similar hammered dulcimers are played in Eastern Europe\, the Middle East\, Portugal\, Italy\, India\, Iran and Pakistan. The origin of Yangqin is still a mystery to us today. Many historians say it is originally from Persia\, now modern Iran\, during the Ming Dynasty (late 14th c. to 15th c.) through the Silk Road. Others say it is introduced by sea through the port of Canton during the 16th century when the Portuguese and Italian traders performed for locals. It has been in China for hundreds of years. The construction of Yangqin has a considerable resemblance to Iran’s Santur. It has five bridges\, up to 140 more strings\, and to play with a pair of hammers made with bamboo.

SUMMARY:Join us for "PLACE"\, an Art Installation + Reception Featuring Four Artists
DESCRIPTION:Free\nJoin us on Sunday\, October 1 from 3 to 7 pm for an artist reception and special installation of PLACE: Works by Renée Amitai\, Kim Abeles\, Rachel X Hobreigh\, and Debra Dobkin.  The exhibition will be on display from September 28 through October 7. \nPLACE refers simultaneously to a location and the action for going there. In this way\, we can remember the places of our past\, and imagine others through a sense of longing. The four artists in the exhibition make use of painting\, drawing\, photography\, printmaking\, and sculpture to define the dream that is PLACE. \nRenée Amitai’s gates imply passage\, and as we move from one place to another\, a threshold of the journey is defined. Kim Abeles considers place as the desire to physically engage with the urban environment. Rachel X Hobreigh’s work reflects the human impact on the sacred feminine ocean\, where the power of water gives life ten-thousand-fold and asks for nothing in return. Debra Dobkin defines a sense of place by combining the dynamics of real and imagined environments in relation to the people who move through them. \nWe are living in a time when our individual relationships with the world are shifting and the tangible blends with the ethereal. The mixed media artworks in this exhibition use the metaphor of PLACE and move through its multiple meanings. \nHours: Thursdays and Fridays 11 am to 2 pm\, or by appointment. \nAbout the Artists \nRenee Amitai graduated from l’Ecole des Beaux Arts de Paris\, France and gained professional experiences in Fine Art and architecture in France\, Israel\, Italy and America. Her artistic interest evolved from printmaking to painting to sculpture. She moved to the United States in 1984\, where she taught printmaking\, painting and architecture in San Antonio Texas and in Los Angeles California. She currently resides in Los Angeles\, CA and Paris\, France. Her work is exhibited in California\, France\, China\, Japan\, Korea and around the globe. \n  \nKim Abeles is a Los Angeles-based artist whose installations and community projects cross disciplines and media to explore biography\, geography and environment. She has created projects with the California Science Center\, air pollution control agencies\, health clinics and mental health departments\, and natural history museums. Abeles received fellowships from John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, J. Paul Getty Trust Fund for the Visual Arts\, California Community Foundation\, and Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Her work is in public collections including MOCA\, LACMA\, Berkeley Art Museum\, California African American Museum\, and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. Abeles’ journals\, books\, and process documents are archived at the Center for Art + Environment\, Nevada Museum of Art. \nDebra Dobkin was born in Chicago and started painting at an early age at the Art Institute of Chicago children’s program. In addition to pursuing a life in the visual arts\, she is an accomplished percussionist/drummer. While traveling and playing music professionally around the world\, she has continued to study\, draw\, photograph and paint. Her work now holds the richness of those experiences.  Dobkin has exhibited in Los Angeles\, around the U.S.\, and internationally. These mixed media pieces are inspired by her original photos taken on her travels. They evolve through a combination of painting\, collage\, and photo transfer to convey a captured moment in time. \n  \nRachel X Hobreigh’s work focuses on the environment and the divine feminine. She uses painting\, performance art\, photography and sculpture to reflect a visual history of moments in her life and her great love and respect for nature. Hobreigh has shown work internationally\, most recently at Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuys\, the Marie de Paris 8 Gallery and the Mu Gallery in Paris\, France as well as the FH Gallery in Jena\, Germany. Her US shows include: A solo show at Gallery 417 Los Angeles\, CA 2017; The Museum Contempo in Olympia\, Washington\, Building Bridges Art Exchange at the Bergamot Station in Santa Monica and the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles as well as the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco. She has a Masters Degree in Public Art from California State University Northridge\, where they also retain a permanent public installation of her work.

The film masterfully demonstrates how ordinary people can make extraordinary choices to rise above conflict and create so much hope in the process. \nThe Possibility Project is an Australian based social enterprise\, that collaborates with slum communities in India to create a slow clothing label called slumwear108. The founders will share their insights on how people around the world are collaborating to enact peaceful\, social\, and environmental cohesion. \nSpace is limited.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a day of Art + Salad with Julia Sherman and Evan Kleiman
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Sunday\, June 4th from 3 to 5 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for this extra special event celebrating the publication of Julia Sherman’s fantastic new Abrams book: Salad For President! \nQ + A between Ms. Sherman and Evan Kleiman will begin around 3:30\, concurrent with the nude figure and vegetable life drawing. Listen\, sketch from life\, snack on Sherman’s Mexican Fruit Salad (recipe from the book!) and raise a glass! Bring your own art supplies or use the charcoal and newsprint provided by Arcana.\n \nThe creator of the immensely popular Salad for President blog presents a visually rich collection of more than 75 salad recipes\, with contributions and interviews by artists/creative professionals like William Wegman\, Tauba Auerbach\, Laurie Anderson\, and Alice Waters. Sherman loves salad\, and she encourages her readers to consider it an everyday indulgence that can include cocktails\, soups\, family style brunch dishes\, and dinner-party entrées. \nSalad—with its infinite possibilities—is a game of endless combinations\, not stifling rules. And with that in mind\, Salad for President offers a window into how artists approach preparing their favorite dishes. Sherman visits sculptors\, painters\, photographers\, and musicians in their homes and gardens\, interviewing and photographing them as they cook. Utterly unique in its look into the worlds of food\, art\, and everyday practices\, Salad for President is at once a practical resource for healthy\, satisfying recipes and an inspiring look at creativity.
