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 URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/15447/ LOCATION:Arcana: Books on the Arts\, 8675 Washington Blvd.\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/24.11.02_Book-signing.jpg GEO:34.0300679;-118.3835128 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Arcana: Books on the Arts 8675 Washington Blvd. Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8675 Washington Blvd.:geo:-118.3835128,34.0300679 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241109T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241109T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T084236 CREATED:20241105T175214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241105T175214Z UID:10001923-1731168000-1731175200@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Arcana Book Launch with Photographer Patrick O'Dell DESCRIPTION:Come one\, come all to Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, November 9th\, between 4:00 and 6:00 PM to celebrate Epicly Later’d\, the new Anthology Editions book by photographer Patrick O’Dell! \nA dizzying\, nostalgic katabasis through the simmering melting pot of early 2000s downtown NYC skaters\, artists\, actors\, musicians\, scumbags\, junkies\, geniuses\, and local legends\, Epicly Later’d is a record of a bygone\, immediately post 9-11 era of artistic innovation and productivity crossed with laissez-faire hedonism and\, above all\, friendships that transcend even death. \nThe gathering will be lubricated thanks to Arcana’s generous friends at Open Beer. \nIf you cannot attend (bummer) and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at the shop\, please place your order here! \nSee you then! \nUpcoming Arcana Events \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 URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/arcana-book-launch-with-photographer-patrick-odell/ LOCATION:Arcana: Books on the Arts\, 8675 Washington Blvd.\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Book_Event_2024.11.09-1.jpg GEO:34.0300679;-118.3835128 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Arcana: Books on the Arts 8675 Washington Blvd. Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8675 Washington Blvd.:geo:-118.3835128,34.0300679 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241113T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20241113T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T084236 CREATED:20241024T162937Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241024T164540Z UID:10001919-1731520800-1731528000@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:AWA+D Hosts Discussion for Women in Construction DESCRIPTION:Join the Association for Women in Architecture + Design (AWA+D) on Wednesday\, November 13th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm for a panel discussion\, Women in Construction: Navigating the Jobsite with Confidence. \nREGISTER HERE\nFree parking is available in any of the Helms Bakery District lots. \nABOUT AWA+D\nThe Association for Women in Architecture and Design is a Professional Society dedicated to supporting career and educational endeavors for women working in the built environment.

Since founding his firm in 1994\, his work has been guided by a conscious understanding that architecture operates within a layered context of political\, developmental\, environmental\, and social structures. With offices in Los Angeles and Detroit\, his firm has built over one hundred projects across three continents. The diverse work ranges from art galleries\, bus shelters\, and large-scale neighborhood studies\, to large mixed-use developments\, affordable housing projects\, and university residential complexes. Each project exhibits Lorcan’s belief that artistry and social connectivity are key to building vibrant spaces that elevate the human condition. \nGreg Goldin is the author most recently of An Atlas of Never Built Architecture. He was born and raised in Los Angeles\, living at first in suburbia\, next in the geographic center of the city in a neighborhood with two early Schindler houses and Gregory Ain’s Dunsmuir Apartments. Those buildings inspired his interest in architecture. After many years as a political reporter\, he jumped ship and became the Architecture Critic at Los Angeles Magazine\, a twelve-year stint that led to the book Never Built Los Angeles (Metropolis Books\, 2013) and the exhibition Never Built Los Angeles\, which premiered at the A+D Architecture and Design Museum\, Los Angeles\, in July 2013. He was the recipient of a coveted Getty Research Institute grant for Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A. in 2011. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter\, where he continues to unearth untold architectural tales and unbuilt architectural projects.

DESCRIPTION:In the past four years\, the movement toward land reparations and racial equity has gained unprecedented momentum in Los Angeles— a city marked by land use practices that have exacerbated racial inequalities and robbed communities of color of opportunities to build generational wealth.

Outcast and outraged\, they made a howling\, squalling mess of punk\, all the menace and freedom of flocking birds. The handful of records\, zines\, and memories that document this brief\, bonfire lifespan sketch a blueprint for how to be in the world\, for how to understand the forces of capitalism and patriarchy and capitulation and still resist. Huggy Bear was a group that let things be complicated\, that considered themselves complicit\, but never took that as a reason to surrender. There’s no band more important. Killed (of Kids) is a book by the five members of Huggy Bear. It reproduces all seven zines made by the band during their lifespan alongside photos\, correspondence\, flyers\, and ephemera from their three-year existence. This archive is joined by new text drawn from two years of interviews with the band members\, carefully assembled into an extensive dialogue about intention\, surprise\, distress\, encouragement.” \nArcana heartily agrees with all of the above. Please join them in taking a break from holiday chaos to celebrate the ageless spirit of “boy-girl revolution\,” as Huggy Bear put it. The holiday cheer at this gathering is generously supported by Arcana’s friends at Open Beer and Las Jaras Wines. \nSee you then! If you can’t make it but would like to purchase a copy of the book\, you may do so below. \nPURCHASE BOOK URL:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/event/arcana-celebrates-the-book-launch-by-legendary-band-huggy-bear/ LOCATION:Arcana: Books on the Arts\, 8675 Washington Blvd.\, Culver City\, CA\, 90232 CATEGORIES:Long Term Events,News ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://helmsdesigndistrict.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Huggy-Bear.jpg GEO:34.0300679;-118.3835128 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Arcana: Books on the Arts 8675 Washington Blvd. Culver City CA 90232;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=8675 Washington Blvd.:geo:-118.3835128,34.0300679 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250101T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250131T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T084236 CREATED:20250101T170019Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250116T181235Z UID:10001929-1735718400-1738342800@helmsdesigndistrict.com SUMMARY:Fresh Perks: January Instagram Giveaway DESCRIPTION:Happy 2025!

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.

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.
