SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Double Book Signing: Deanna Templeton and Clint Woodside
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 18th from 5 to 7pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a double book signing for these two amazing releases\, Deanna Templeton’s The Swimming Pool and Clint Woodside’s Undercover Cars. \n8675 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\n310.458.1499 \nDeanna Templeton’s The Swimming Pool is a newly published photographic essay from this Southern California-based artist. Departing from her well-known street portraiture\, this collection offers a deep and inspiring view of the human form underwater. The series was born after an impromptu nude swimming pool shoot of her husband – the artist Ed Templeton – which spurred an eight-year journey in the study of light\, expression\, and the enigma of water. Shooting entirely on color\, black-and-white\, and Polaroid film\, Templeton sends her friends into the pool to be photographed in their truest form. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nClint Woodside’s Undercover Cars was first issued in 2013 as a Deadbeat Club zine and has been newly re-conceived and substantially enlarged as an elegant hardcover book. Containing fifty-two images of cars parked in plain sight\, but covered from the elements\, it is the culmination of a series of color photographs – shot on film and printed in the dark room – spanning five years\, scores of autos\, and thousands of miles from Los Angeles to Banghok.

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing With Olivia Bee And Special Guest\, BØRNS
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, May 14th from 5:00pm – 7:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host Olivia Bee in a celebration of the publication of her book Kids In Love. Joining Olivia will be her friend and very special musical guest\, BØRNS\, who will present an acoustic set as part of the evening’s festivities. \nOlivia Bee is celebrated for her dreamy\, evocative portraits and landscapes rich with implied narratives of intimacy\, freedom\, and adventure. Her first full-length book Kids in Love from Aperture showcases two bodies of photographic work\, including the series “Enveloped in a Dream” that first brought Bee recognition as a teenager. These images offer a visual diary of girlhood friendship and the exploration of self\, showcasing Bee’s unique ability to convey the bittersweet nostalgia of adolescence on the brink of adulthood and new possibilities. The second\, “Kids in Love”\, is a photographic chronicle of her circle of friends and new loves\, capturing both the pleasures and terrors of the fleeting passage of romanticized youth. While the work continues to evolve\, what remains constant is her seductive use of color and photographic artifact\, as well as the immediacy and charge of each image. \nBee gives voice to the self-awareness and visual fluency of the millennial generation. Experiences are sharply felt\, and easily communicated and shared\, generating visual records that render these memories as significant as the moments themselves. Tavi Gevinson\, founding editor of the online magazine “Rookie” as well as Bee’s frequent collaborator and model writes about the work and about the role of images as social currency in today’s image-driven world. \n8675 Washington Boulevard\n310-458-1499 \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A (Double) Book Signing With Ed Templeton And Ethan Rafal
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 5th from 4:00 to 6:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for another exciting\, double-header with two of their fave phtographers: Ed Templeton and Ethan Rafal. \nEd Templeton \nIn 1999\, the late\, great Alleged Gallery published Ed Templeton’s first book of photography\, Teenage Smokers. In the intervening sixteen years Ed is a firmly entrenched guiding light of the Southern California art community\, and Teenage Smokers has become a sought-after high spot for any photo book collection. \nNow\, hot off the press from Tokyo’s Super Labo is Teenage Smokers 2 – featuring a brand new generation of nicotine-inhaling youngsters. Ed will be signing – and no doubt drawing in – copies of this\, the newly republished Wayward Cognitions\, a few remaining copies of the now sold out Deadbeat Club Common Side Effects Huntington Beach catalogue\, Umbrella\, and his magnificent new travelogue of Santa Catalina Island\, Adventures in the Nearby Far Away. We’ll also have copies of the original Teenage Smokers along with a few vintage rarities available here the day of the event. \nCome celebrate this treasure trove of new and vintage Templetoniana. Sales of Common Side Effects and Adventures in the Nearby Far Away will be limited to one per customer for those attending the event while supplies last. \nEthan Rafal: Shock and Awe \nSan Francisco-based Ethan Rafal has produced one of our favorite photography books of recent years! A complex autobiographical project examining the relationship between protracted war and homeland decay\, Shock and Awe is a meticulously crafted work combining image\, text\, and found objects compiled over twelve years of traveling the United States that blurs the line between author and subject\, and personal versus authoritative histories. Drawing from the traditions of documentary photography and writing set on the American road\, the unique\, hand-made journal was created with transfer prints\, handwriting\, and found materials that were bound in the remains of an abandoned vehicle. This trade edition limited to five hundred copies carefully reproduces every inch of every page conveying the look and feel of the original down to its strap closure. Made by middle-class workers in Spain\, the paper was sustainably harvested in Finland\, and the cloth is from New England. \nThe artist introduces audiences to this work through his ongoing “Shock and Awe Book Tour” which returns the journal to the people and places depicted\, bringing author\, subject\, and viewer into an exploration of the total meaning of the work. The presentation of Shock and Awe is equal parts story-telling\, show-and-tell\, and group discussion featuring for its Arcana stop ample homemade cast-iron walnut pie served with bourbon and milk. \nEthan Rafal’s multi-media works deal with the individual and collective experience of violence\, and the ways in which subsequent representations of violence inform personal and national mythologies. He helps run The Farmstand – an alternative artspace on a farm in Northern California – and collaborates with the Bay Area’s Art For a Democratic Society. \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Special Saturday (Double) Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 14th from 4:00 to 7:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for the first in a series of exciting\, overlapping double-headers with two of their favorite photographers to celebrate their new publications documenting modern-day working class heroes in the United Kingdom. \nJONA FRANK:  THE MODERN KIDS 4:00 until 6:00 PM \nIn the Fall of 2010\, photographer Jona Frank began to make portraits at an amateur boxing club just outside of Liverpool in a suburb called Ellesmere Port. All the boys tried to act tough for the camera\, and Frank was reminded of a line from the Arcade Fire song Rococo: “They seem wild\, but they are so tame”. In the song they are singing about going downtown and watching the modern kids. It made Frank think about how these boys\, in this town\, are in their life. For them\, everything is present. This is their 21st Century\, their right now\, but their faces evoke the past. Some people might confuse the realism of Jona’s work with a certain anti-romanticism. But she’s just bending the ideal by holding true to the photographer’s mantra “keep your eyes open and be true to your heart“. \nSanta Monica-based Jona Frank’s thought-provoking books of youth-oriented portraits\, High School and Right: Portraits from the Evangelical Ivy League are perennial favorites\, and The Modern Kids makes a stunning new companion. \nNICK WAPLINGTON: LIVING ROOM WORK PRINTS 5:00 until 7:00 PM \nBy the late 1980s England had experienced ten years of Conservative government\, the collapse of industry\, the rise in poverty and unemployment\, and centralized government’s abandonment of people and place. It is in this context that British photographer Nick Waplington spent four years documenting the daily lives of two working-class families on a council estate in Nottingham\, England. Rather than embracing the contemporary photographic conventions of social realism\, Waplington chronicled the lives of these families in saturated color\, capturing an intimate narrative with poignancy and an unexpected humor. \nNick Waplington makes no dramatic social statements\, but rather a quite touching (matter-of-fact) chronicle of the daily struggle of the working-class. “Living Room is tender and poignant\, wonderfully documenting the physical and physiological dysfunctionality of families enduring the plight of economic deficiency”.

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing For "How We Live" By Marcia Prentice
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 7th from 4:00 – 6:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with Marcia Prentice for How We Live\, an intimate photographic journal of designers’ and artists’ homes from around the world including Mumbai\, Beirut\, Marrakech\, Reykjavik\, Mexico City and Amsterdam. \nLos Angeles-based photographer Marcia Prentice traveled to international cities to experience and present ‘the soul” of a diverse selection of domestic spaces\, revealing the unique spirit of each creative environment. The book includes homes shown in the context of both more-established design-cities\, as well as urban locales where economic disadvantage and strife impacts daily life. Each of the eighteen featured homeowners provides a glimpse into their private\, interior world to show us how the design and atmosphere created in one’s own home can be the ultimate artistic canvas. \nSpace is limited so an RSVP is much appreciated. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing With Ron Jude
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, October 10th from 4:00 – 6:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on The Arts for a book signing with Ron Jude. To construct Lago\, Ron Jude returns to the California desert of his early childhood as if a detective in search of clues to his own identity. In this brand new MACK book of fifty-four photographs taken between 2011 and 2014\, he attempts to reconcile the vagaries of memory (and the uncertainty of looking) with our need to make narrative sense of things. \nUsing a desolate desert lake as a theatrical backdrop\, Jude meanders through the arid landscape of his youth\, making note of everything from venomous spiders to discarded pornography. If one considers these traces to be a coded language of some sort\, Jude’s act of photographing and piecing them together becomes a form of cryptography – like a poetic archaeology that\, rather than attempting to arrive at something conclusive\, looks for patterns and rhythms that create congruity out of the stuttering utterances of the visible world. According to Jude\, “these harmonies\, when we’re lucky enough to find them\, are probably the closest we can get to discovering actual ‘meaning’ and grasping the potency of place.” \nIf you would like to purchase a signed copy of Lago but cannot attend\, please place an order here\, or call 310-458-1499.

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing With Greg Gorman
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, August 15th from 4:00 – 6:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing of Outside the Studio\, Greg Gorman’s tenth monograph. It finds the noted Los Angeles-based photographer outside the reaches of the portrait and figure-study work for which he is best known\, and onto the streets of Southeast Asia. Traveling throughout Singapore\, Malaysia\, China and India on behalf of Epson to participate in symposiums on fine art digital printing\, Gorman got a firsthand look at these very different cultures at the very beginning of the digital revolution. \nWorking in the studio with the likes of Marlon Brando or Robert De Niro had become second nature\, and his long-running series of celebrity portraits for L.A. Eyeworks is viewed as one of the iconic advertising campaigns of the late twentieth century. However\, having shot exclusively on film for more than thirty years\, the transition from analogue to digital cameras was a new experience for Gorman\, and being thrust in front of strangers in China\, Kuala Lampur\, India\, Thailand\, Cambodia\, and Vietnam was an adventure – one who’s engaging results are revealed in this lovely new book from Damiani Editore. \n \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing With Shio Kusaka + Jonas Wood
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, July 6th from 6:00 – 8:00pm\, please join Arcana in celebration of the collaborative work of Shio Kusaka and Jonas Wood. Ms. Kusaka and Mr. Wood draw from each others work as painter and potter to probe the tensions between representation and expression\, precision and chance\, and influences from art history and life. Kusaka’s porcelain vessels play muse to Wood’s drawn and painted interiors\, while conversely their idiosyncratic forms and glazes owe something to his impulsive line. They draw from personal memory and their shared existence as a married couple – his half-objective\, half-fictional Los Angeles landscapes and still lifes set in their studio on Culver City’s Blackwelder Street\, and her painted patterns that allude to their young daughter’s fascination with dinosaurs. \nThe two share influences and imagery but embark on autonomous explorations of their respective media. Exhibited together\, these symbiotic works reveal the autobiographical roots and layers of cross-pollination that inspire their creation. Shio Kusaka and Jonas Wood’s unique collaborative working process and artistic output are beautifully documented in the newly-published Gagosian and Rizzoli monograph Blackwelder.

SUMMARY:Arcana Hosts A Book Signing With Linda Rosenkrantz
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, July 5th from 4:00pm – 6:00pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host an afternoon meet and greet with author Linda Rosenkrantz in celebration of her innovative and now-classic Summer read: TALK. \nTalk is a hilariously irreverent and racy testament to dialogue – the gossip\, questioning\, analysis\, arguments and revelations that make up our closest friendships. Set in the summer of 1965\, Emily\, Vincent\, and Marsha are at the beach. The trio are ambitious\, artistic\, hovering around thirty\, and deeply and mercilessly invested in analyzing themselves along with everyone around them. They discuss  sex\, shrinks\, psychedelics\, sculpture\, and S&M in an ongoing narrative where anything goes\, and no topic is off limits. These conversations were tape-recorded by Linda Rosenkrantz and transformed into a novel whose form and content put it well ahead of its time. Controversial upon its first publication in 1968\, Talk remains fresh\, lascivious\, and laugh-out-loud funny nearly fifty years later. \nLinda Rosenkrantz is the author of several books including Telegram!: Modern History as Told Through More than 400 Witty\, Poignant\, and Revealing Telegrams\, her memoir\, My Life as a List: 207 Things About My (Bronx) Childhood\, and the co-author with Christopher Finch of Gone Hollywood: The Movie Colony in the Golden Age. She resides in Los Angeles and is a founder of the popular baby-naming site Nameberry.com.
