SUMMARY:Book Signing for Doug Aitken: Mirage
DESCRIPTION:Free \nJoin Arcana: Books on the Arts on Saturday\, December 16th\, from 4:00-6:00 pm for a book signing with Doug Aitken for Mirage. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at Arcana\, please purchase here. Orders will begin shipping Tuesday\, December 19th. \n\nBetween 2017 and 2021 artist Doug Aitken presented his site-specific installation entitled “Mirage” in the California desert outside Palm Springs\, at a defunct Detroit bank\, and nestled in the Swiss Alps. “Mirage” takes the form of a ranch-style suburban American house whose exterior is entirely clad in reflective mirrored surfaces that camouflage it in landscapes far removed from the familiar lawn and picket fence. The book is an immersive chronicle of the three installations\, featuring photographs\, architectural drawings\, and other materials related to the project accompanied by a text by Neville Wakefield as well as an interview with the artist. Handmade with cold foils\, silver printing\, an exposed spine\, and bound as a leporello\, this extraordinary document is a tour de force of the bookmaker’s art. \nA brand new\, most handsome example of the first edition limited to one thousand copies additionally boldly signed “Doug Aitken” in ink.

SUMMARY:Book Signing at Arcana with Doug Aitken: Works 1992-2022
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 10th between 4:00 and 6:00 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing afternoon with Doug Aitken on the launch of his latest release\, Works 1992-2022.  If you cannot attend and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at the shop\, please contact the store for details or order online. \nThis comprehensive new book explores the career of multimedia artist Doug Aitken\, following the path from his first major works in the late 1990s through to the present day. Aitken’s work encompasses large-scale film installations such as Sleepwalkers (2007)\, site-specific sculptures including his Underwater Pavilions (2016) installed off the coast of Catalina Island\, California\, and peripatetic happenings like Station to Station (2013)\, which saw a train containing a travelling studio cross the USA from the Atlantic to the Pacific\, staging unique performance events at each stop. Weaving together images and text in an energetic composition of rhythm and movement\, this authoritative volume mirrors the ways in which Aitken has approached and explored the contemporary world in his conceptual body of work across multiple mediums. \nWith an introduction by Joseph Akel and a new extended essay on Aitken’s oeuvre by Daniel Birnbaum\, plus archival essays and interviews with the artist by writers including Marc Spiegler\, Terry Riley\, Hans Ulrich Obrist\, Joseph Grima\, April Lamm\, Susan Solomon\, and Jörg Heiser.
