SUMMARY:Arcana Book Signing with Dawoud Bey for Elegy
DESCRIPTION:Free \nOn Saturday\, March 2nd from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with Dawoud Bey to celebrate the publication of Elegy \nIf you cannot attend and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at Arcana\, please place your order here. \n\nRenowned for his Harlem street scenes and expressive portraits\, Dawoud Bey continues his ongoing series on African American history focusing on the landscape to create a portrait of the early African American presence in the United States. Elegy brings together Bey’s three landscape series to date – “Night Coming Tenderly\, Black (2017)”\, “In This Here Place (2021)”\, and “Stoney the Road (2023)” – elucidating the deep historical memory still embedded in the geography of the United States. Bey takes viewers to the historic Richmond Slave Trail in Virginia\, where Africans were marched onto auction blocks; to the plantations of Louisiana\, where they labored; and along the last stages of the Underground Railroad in Ohio\, where fugitives sought self-emancipation. Essays by the exhibition’s curator\, Valerie Cassel Oliver\, and scholars LeRonn P. Brooks\, Imani Perry\, and Christina Sharpe illuminate the work. By interweaving these bodies of work into an elegy in three movements\, Bey doesn’t merely evoke history\, he retells it through historically grounded images that challenge viewers to go beyond seeing and imagine lived experiences. \nA brand new example additionally SIGNED by photographer Dawoud Bey. \n\nCover Image: Untitled (James River) from the series Stony the Road\, 2023\, Dawoud Bey (American\, born 1953)\, gelatin silver print.

SUMMARY:Arcana Book Signing with Yelena Yemchuk for Malanka
DESCRIPTION:Free \nOn Saturday\, February 17th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with Yelena Yemchuk to celebrate the publication of Malanka. \nIf you cannot attend and would like to order a signed copy to have shipped or to pick up at Arcana\, please place your order here. \n\n“Ukrainian-born\, Brooklyn-based photographer and painter Yelena Yemchuk is most commonly known for her fashion and portrait photographs\, which have appeared in Italian and Japanese Vogue\, V\, the New Yorker and The New York Times. Yemchuk makes images that teeter on the threshold between her Eastern European heritage and her daily life in New York; between fiction and reality; between the grand beauty of 1960s cinema and the social and built environments of post-Soviet realms. As with all of her work\, Malanka is a personal\, feminine\, surrealist and magical project. The eponymous tradition is a pre-Christian folklore ritual driving out winter and welcoming spring\, an ancient custom reminiscent of Persephone’s return in Greek mythology. It is celebrated on January 14th\, the old New Year in the Julian calendar\, by ethnic Romanians in western Ukraine. In 2019 and 2020\, Yemchuk traveled to Crasna (Krasnoilsk in Ukrainian) to document the night-long festival. Accompanying Yemchuk’s striking photographic documentation is a poetic essay by Romanian cultural journalist Ioana Pelehatai.”
