His new book Lonley City (Friend Editions\, 2023) is filled with iPhone photos taken while going about his life in the world – yet he seems to come across (or be more attuned to noticing) small moments that almost read as very short stories on the human condition. \nDue to the very limited supply of Lonley City\, Arcana is certain to sell out during Saturday’s signing\, so they will unfortunately be unable to accommodate advance orders via their website or phone as they typically do. Sales will be only at the event – strictly one copy per person\, first-come\, first-served. If you cannot attend\, and Arcana should miraculously have some left over\, please email Arcana to be put on a waiting list.

The most recent in a long line of (all male) councilmembers from the Baby Boom era\, Paul Koretz had represented the district for over 13 years before being termed out. In his place\, Katy Young Yaroslavsky emerged victorious. \nThough Yaroslavsky’s last name has been familiar to Angelenos since the 1970s\, Katy–the daughter-in-law of Zev–is a relative newcomer to city politics and brings a vision very different from that of her successor. CD 5 has historically been cautious about new development\, while Councilmember Yaroslavsky acknowledged the city’s housing crisis on the campaign trail and has expressed a willingness to welcome new homes to her district. And\, being in the heart of the Westside\, touching three of the Westside’s smaller cities\, she represents a district that is a fulcrum for much of the city’s activity — including higher education (UCLA)\, business (Century City)\, and transportation (subway extension). \nThe Westside Urban Forum is pleased to welcome Councilmember Yaroslavsky for a candid discussion with longtime journalist and civic observer Warren Olney\, formerly of KCRW. \nPanelists \nKaty Young Yaroslavsky\, Councilmember \nModerator \nWarren Olney\, former KCRW broadcaster \n \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: \n\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).\n\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 in the adjacent interior parking garage at 8711 Washington Blvd (look for the red banners)\, or there is parking available throughout the Helms Bakery complex. \n7:45 am – Registration & Light Breakfast\n8:15 am – Panel Discussion \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Members Register Here\n \n \n \n \n Nonmembers Register Here URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/katy-young-yaroslavsky/ LOCATION:Helms Design Center\, 8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News GEO:34.0286594;-118.3857496 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Helms Design Center 8745 Washington Boulevard Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8745 Washington Boulevard:geo:-118.3857496,34.0286594 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231007T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20231007T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133720 CREATED:20231002T145251Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231023T214216Z UID:10001848-1696694400-1696701600@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Book Signing with Richard Edson DESCRIPTION:Free \nPlease join Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, October 7th between 4:00 and 6:00 PM for a very special book signing with photographer Richard Edson. \n“I began the Year Zero – Lockdown Journal on March 20th\, 2020. On the first day I took my bicycle and camera and rode through the empty\, silent streets of Los Angeles. Everything looked the same\, but everything was completely different. I took photos and came back and wrote about it. And I kept it up for next twelve months\, through our personal and collective isolation\, through the ups and downs of the pandemic\, the slow\, halting opening of society\, the politicization of the virus\, the George Floyd protests\, the elections\, the Stop-the-Steal movement\, and the storming of the Capital. Covid-19 was beyond anything we thought possible or could even imagine. It’s the stuff of science fiction and dystopian nightmares. But the writers and doomsayers were right. And here we are. Each of us who have lived through Year Zero have our own stories to tell. This\, in photographs and texts\, is mine.” Published by Artvoices Books\, Year Zero – Lockdown Journal features two beautifully packaged hardcover books in a slipcase subtitled\, “Spring & Summer” and “Fall & Winter.” \nRichard Edson has been acting in films for nearly forty years and has appeared in over one hundred movies and television shows. His more notable roles include a disreputable parking garage attendant in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)\, Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)\, Howard the Duck (1986)\, Jim Jarmusch’s cult film Stranger Than Paradise (1984)\, Eight Men Out\, and Joey Breaker (1993). He also appeared in Platoon (1986)\, Good Morning\, Vietnam (1987)\, Tougher Than Leather (1988)\, Let It Ride (1989)\, and Do the Right Thing (1989). He starred in the 1993 movie Super Mario Bros as Spike (1987). As a photographer he has had four solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and has been in countless group exhibits. He has also appeared in Juxtapoz\, Puta\, and The Propagandist magazines and has had photography assignments for Wax Poetics\, American Apparel\, and many others. Until recently he had a monthly photo spread/column in the Los Angeles downtown arts magazine\, Citizen LA. In addition to acting and photography he was a founding member and first drummer for the seminal art rock band Sonic Youth\, and drummer/trumpet player for the legendary New York Afro-dance band\, Konk. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to purchase a signed copy of Year Zero – Lockdown Journal\, please email Arcana or place your order here!
