SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Celebration with Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, June 15th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a celebration with their very own architects\, Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee on the release of “El Croquis 198: Johnston Marklee 2005 2019 Folding Time”. \nFounded by partners Sharon Johnston\, F.A.I.A. and Mark Lee in 1998\, Johnston Marklee is recognized for its diverse portfolio of architecture\, engaging the physical and cultural circumstances of each project through a precise synthesis of structural form\, materiality\, and atmospheric light. The work of the firm pays tribute to a specific Southern Californian interpretation of modernism\, and at the same time operates at the intersection of a global and local dialogue. \nJohnston and Lee have forged a leading role in the cultural discourse around contemporary art and architecture\, eliciting design collaborations with distinguished museums\, foundations\, and artists around the world. Complementing this far-reaching network\, the firm’s work is recognized for being deeply rooted in the history and foundations of the discipline. Their work has been exhibited internationally and is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, Art Institute of Chicago\, Menil Collection\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Carnegie Museum of Art\, and the Architecture Museum of TU Munich. Mark Lee and Sharon Johnston served as Artistic Directors for the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial. In 2018 they were named Professors in Practice at Harvard Graduate School of Design\, and Mark Lee was appointed Chair of the Architecture Department. They have also taught at major universities including Princeton University\, the University of California\, Los Angeles\, the Technical University of Berlin\, ETH Zurich\, and have held the Cullinan Chair at Rice University and the Frank Gehry Chair at the University of Toronto. \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Discussion and Book Signing for SO-IL's "Solid Objectives: Order\, Edge\, Aura"
DESCRIPTION:Free\nLA Forum joins with Arcana: Books on the Arts in hosting a publication launch for Brooklyn-based architecture and design office SO-IL who are presenting their first monograph – “solid objectives: order\, edge\, aura”. \nA beautifully illustrated collection of built and unbuilt projects\, texts\, processes\, and experiments from the firm’s first eight years of work (2008-2016)\, “solid objectives” proposes an architecture that requires interpretation. The publication is at once a visual and textual manifesto that introduces an attitude towards the design and realization of architecture in an interconnected environment.\nThe event will feature SO-IL’s Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu in discussion with Johnston Marklee‘s Mark Lee\, and photographer Iwan Baan. \nCome to Arcana this Sunday\, May 21st between 4:00 and 6:00 PM for what promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking event!

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing + Conversation With Johnston Marklee
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, July 9th from 4 to 6PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts in welcoming their very own architects\, Johnston Marklee partners Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee\, for a conversation and book signing inside the gorgeous Arcana showroom they created.  The afternoon will address the architectural firm’s design process and engagement with contemporary art practices in conversation with artist Veronika Kellndorfer\, one of the collaborators on their new monograph\, HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE IS A HOUSE. \nThe talk will be followed by a book signing. \n8675 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\n310.458.1499 \nAbout Johnston Marklee\nFounded by partners Sharon Johnston\, F.A.I.A. and Mark Lee in 1998\, Johnston Marklee is internationally recognized for its diverse portfolio of architecture\, engaging the physical and cultural circumstances of each project through a precise synthesis of structural form\, materiality\, and atmospheric light. The work of the firm pays tribute to a specific Southern Californian interpretation of modernism\, and at the same time operates at the intersection of a global and local dialogue. Since founding Johnston Marklee\, Johnston and Lee have forged a leading role in the cultural discourse around contemporary art and architecture\, eliciting design collaborations with distinguished museums\, foundations\, and artists around the world. Complementing this far-reaching network\, the firm’s work is recognized for being deeply rooted in the history and foundations of the discipline. \nAbout Veronika Kellndorfer\nOriginally through painting and more recently through photography\, Veronika Kellndorfer has been concerned with the physical and social construction of space. In her recent body of work\, Kellndorfer photographed classic modernist architectural landmarks in Los Angeles including the only house built by Oscar Niemeyer in the United States\, Rudolph Schindler’s Lovell Beach House\, John Lautner’s Silvertop home in Silver Lake\, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Freeman House\, among others. Yet\, rather than capturing the iconic wide-angle views of these famously photographed homes\, Kellndorfer focuses on the intimate details of windows and reflections and how they reveal the ephemeral nature of seeing\, as well as the subjectivity of space. This ambiguity of space is heightened by the artist’s use of highly reflective glass panels that are often life-sized\, and when displayed in a public setting\, museum or gallery\, invites the viewer to experience his or her own subjective surroundings. \nHer exhibition Tropical Modernism: Lina Bo Bardi will be on view at Christopher Grimes Gallery from July 8th through September 2nd\, 2016.
