SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a book signing with Peter Fetterman: The Power of Photography
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Book Signing and discussion with Peter Fetterman at Arcana Saturday\, August 13th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM. \nIf you cannot attend but would like a signed copy of The Power of Photography please place your order here! \nThe power of photography lies in its ability to ignite emotions across barriers of language and culture. This selection of iconic images\, compiled by pioneering collector and gallerist Peter Fetterman\, celebrates the photograph’s unique capacity for sensibility. \nPeter has been championing the photographic arts for over 30 years. He runs what is arguably the most important commercial photography gallery in the world. During the long months of lockdown\, Peter ‘exhibited’ one photograph per day\, accompanied by inspirational text\, quotes and poetry. This digital collection struck a chord with followers from around the world. The Power of Photography presents 120 outstanding images from the series\, along with Peter’s insightful words. \nThis carefully curated selection offers an inspiring overview of the medium while paying homage to masters of the art. From the bizarre Boschian fantasies of Melvin Sokolsky to the haunting humanity of Ansel Adams’s family portraits; from Miho Kajioka’s interpretation of traditional Japanese aesthetics of to the joyful everyday scenes of Evelyn Hofer; from rare interior shots by famed nude photographer Ruth Bernhard to Bruce Davidson’s wistful depiction of young men playing ballgames on a street; this book gathers some of the most unique and heartening photographs from the 20th century. Each image is a time capsule\, offering us a glimpse into days gone past. Yet each photograph also speaks of tranquility\, peace\, and hope for the future.

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a book signing with Clara Balzary: Big Fresh Air
DESCRIPTION:Stop in to Arcana: Books on the Arts this Saturday\, August 6th\, between 4:00 and 6:00 PM to celebrate the launch of Clara Balzary’s Big Fresh Air. \nIf you cannot attend but would like to purchase a book signed by Ms. Balzary\, please place your order here or call Arcana at 310-458-1499. \nClara Balzary is a Los Angeles-based photographer and filmmaker whose first book is the newly released Big Fresh Air from London’s Pinch Publishing. “The photographs in Big Fresh Air were taken over the course of four days\, spanning from the late spring to the late summer of 2021. All pictures are the result of a collaboration with Ruby Kernkamp and Emily Leona Rose. Kernkamp and Rose used contact improvisation techniques to create distinct movement dialogues between participants and the natural landscape\, stemming from an interest in what happens when bodies give and receive weight and touch. Each day took place in the public parks in La Cañada / Flintridge\, a city in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains in Los Angeles County\, during a time when groups were encouraged to gather exclusively in outdoor spaces.”

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a Celebration of the Launch of The Steve Keene Art Book
DESCRIPTION:Stop in Arcana: Books on the Arts this Saturday\, July 30th between 4:00 and 6:00 PM to celebrate the launch of The Steve Keene Art Book\, with special guests Steve Keene\, Dan Efram and J.C. Gabel and co-published by their friends at Hat & Beard Press. If you cannot attend but would like to purchase a signed copy\, please place your order here or call Arcana at 310-458-1499. \nSteve Keene is the most prolific American painter of all time\, producing more than 300\,000 hand-painted works via his studio / chainlink fence cage where he paints more than fifty paintings at a time. \nLovingly known for making affordable art\, as well as being the indie rock cover art maker to Pavement\, The Apples in stereo\, and Silver Jews\, Keene has long been under-appreciated for his importance to the nineties indie art and music scenes. The Steve Keene Art Book – originally conceived during his sold out 2016 show at Shepard Fairey’s Subliminal Projects Gallery – is the first art book dedicated exclusively to his work. \nThe book features essays by musician Hilarie Bratset (The Apples in stereo)\, writer Sam Brumbaugh\, Elle Chang\, Daniel Efram\, Shepard Fairey\, journalist Karen Loew\, and Christina Zafiris\, along with comments from Starling Keene\, curators Jonathan LeVine\, Leo Fitzgerald and Talia Logan\, alongside a dazzling two hundred and seventy-seven reproductions of Keene’s works. Efram takes readers into Keene’s utilitarian chainlink “painting cage” for an all-access pass for a peek into the artist’s fascinating systemic technique. \nThe Steve Keene Art Book is co-published by Hat & Beard Press and Tractor Beam and has been made possible through a crowdfunding campaign that included hundreds of supporters – from Keene’s former hometown of Charlottesville\, Virginia\, to fans from all over the world – who contributed pieces from their own personal collections. It is produced by Daniel Efram\, edited by Gail O’Hara\, editor-in-chief of the “legendary indie nerd bible” chickfactor\, and designed by Grammy-nominated graphic designer Henry Owings.

SUMMARY:Arcana hosts a Book Signing with John Divola: SCAPES
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Sunday\, July 24th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM for a book signing \nJohn Divola: SCAPES\nPlease join us Sunday\, July 24th between 4:00 and 6:00 PM to celebrate the arrival of Mr. Divola’s stunning new Skinnerboox publication. If you cannot attend but would like to purchase a signed copy\, please place your order here or call Arcana at 310-458-1499. \n“Cameras and their users are caught between the universal and the particular. Photography and photographs; humanity and whatever specific kind of human we happen to be. There is at least something existentially universal about John Divola’s photographic adventures. The lone observer moving through the world and reflecting upon it through various camera possibilities. But nobody is truly universal\, or only universal. We each come wrapped in our particulars\, just as each and every photograph belongs to the universe of photography precisely insofar as it is particular. Forever the two. When I look at Divola’s photographs\, I sense something universal because I sense all the particulars. Yes\, a white\, male\, middle class Southern Californian\, post-conceptual artist of the kind that makes these kinds of photographs. But nobody makes photographs quite like Divola. He is one of a kind\, and therein are the universal and the particular.” – David Campany from his text for “SCAPES”\, which contains selections from three of the photographer’s most celebrated bodies of early black and white work\, “Four Landscapes”\, “As Far As I Could Get”\, and “Dogs Chasing My Car in the Desert.”

SUMMARY:Arcana hosts a Book Signing with Arthur Grace –  Communism(s): A Cold War Album
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday\, June 11th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM for a book signing \nArthur Grace: Communism(s): A Cold War Album\nFor most people in the West\, the realities of life behind the Iron Curtain have faded into caricatures of police state repression and bread lines. With the world seemingly again divided between democracies and authoritarian regimes\, it is essential that we understand the reality of life in the Soviet Bloc. Noted American photojournalist Arthur Grace was uniquely placed to provide that context. \nDuring the 1970s and 1980s Grace traveled extensively behind the Iron Curtain\, working primarily for news magazines. One of only a small corps of Western photographers with ongoing access\, he was able to delve into the most ordinary corners of people’s daily lives\, while also covering significant events. Many of the photographs in this remarkable book are effectively psychological portraits that leave the viewer with a sense of the gamut of emotions in that era. \nIllustrated with over one hundred and twenty black-and-white images – nearly all previously unpublished\, Communism(s) gives an unprecedented glimpse behind the veil of a not-so-distant time filled with harsh realities unseen by nearly all but those that lived through it. Shot in the USSR\, Poland\, Romania\, Yugoslavia and the German Democratic Republic\, here are portraits of factory workers\, farmers\, churchgoers\, vacationers and loitering teens juxtaposed with the GDR’s imposing Social Realist-designed apartment blocks\, annual May Day Parades\, Poland’s Solidarity movement (and the subsequent imposition of martial law) and the vastness of Moscow’s Red Square. \nBeautifully printed in Italy by publisher Damiani Editore\, Communism(s) was co-edited by Arthur Grace\, Arcana’s own Lee Kaplan\, and Deadbeat Club Press’ Clint Woodside\, who also contributed the book’s striking design. Read some of its impressive advance reviews from The New York Times\, Washington Post\, and The Sunday London Times\, and join us Saturday\, June 11th to acquire your own copy of this timely document signed by photographer Arthur Grace \nIf you cannot attend\, place an order here for your very own copy of Communism(s) signed by Arthur Grace to be picked up at the store or shipped to you after the event.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: Senon Williams: Words Don't Mean Much
DESCRIPTION:Free\nPlease join us for a book signing at Arcana: Books on the Arts \nSenon Williams: Words Don’t Mean Much\nSaturday\, January 29th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM \nArcana: Books on the Arts | 8675 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\, CA 90232 \nWe are delighted to invite you to a book signing celebrating Senon Williams’ new book\, Words Don’t Mean Much\, published by Hat & Beard Press. \nPlease come fully vaccinated\, wear your mask over your nose and mouth\, and maintain distance from others when possible! \nYou may pre-order a signed copy of the book to be picked up at the store or shipped to you after the event. PLEASE PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE! \nThe old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” is turned on its side in Words Don’t Mean Much\, Senon Williams’ new book of aphoristic phrasing. Far fewer words are needed to create an illuminating image in the mind’s eye\, conjuring immediate multi-sensory experiences. \nThis book of poems is derived from the text in Williams’ ink on paper drawings\, a sampling of which are pictured at left. The drawings are textual extractions and gather momentum within the book\, exhibiting great attention to materials and craftsmanship. Every detail\, from select paper to classic typeface\, has been considered. An object\, not unlike a sculpture\, can be viewed from all sides\, handled – and leafed through in the case of this book – front to back\, back to front\, or randomly opened. Words Don’t Mean Much is a small pocket book\, easy to conceal. A book to keep all to yourself or share intimately. \nNative to Los Angeles\, Senon Williams is a lifelong visual artist and musician. His longtime study of economy with words and multiple meanings centers on the desire to create glimpses into the inherent human struggle\, both ancient and contemporary. Williams’ work finds space in the natural – exposing outstanding and devastating stages of human evolution.

SUMMARY:Arcana Presents a Deanna Templeton Remote Book Signing for ”What She Said”
DESCRIPTION:Already a “Best of 2021” photobook\, Deanna Templeton’s truly excellent new MACK offering What She Said is now available! Arcana: Books on the Arts  hoped to have a real-life signing event for this launch\, but as we’re all still playing it safe\, Deanna will be specially personalizing copies with your choice of inscription (within reason of course) and a special rubber stamp created for the occasion. \nOrder by April 17th\, while supplies last! Order now on Arcana’s website here. \n“What She Said takes its title from a song by The Smiths: “What she said was sad / But then\, all the rejection she’s had / To pretend to be happy / Could only be idiocy. The work originates in portraits Deanna Templeton made on the streets of the US\, Europe\, Australia and Russia\, in which she captured women in their adolescence: punks and outcasts whose ripped jeans and tights\, tattoos\, and hairstyles stand as testament to this transitional moment in their lives as they navigate the intensity of teenage life. Templeton grew up in an ostensibly different environment in 1980s youth\, but she recognized in them something of the universality of female adolescence\, as they struggled with similar disappointments and challenges she encountered as a young woman. The book combines these modern portraits with gig flyers and Templeton’s own teenage journal entries from the mid to late 80s\, in which the familiar experience of growing up is laid bare in all its antagonism\, humor and pathos.”

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Bruce Licher\, Karen Nielsen Licher\, and SR2
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 7th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please stop by Arcana: Books on the Arts for a very special afternoon with Bruce Licher and Karen Nielsen Licher of Independent Project Press & Records as they celebrate the release of Savage Impressions with a book signing\, one-day exhibition and sale of printed matter\, and a musical performance at 5:00 PM sharp by SR2. \nSavage Impressions is the first extensive monograph on Bruce Licher’s Independent Project Records and Independent Project Press. With the current explosion of interest in letterpress\, many are looking to see how new work can be influenced by the past. Active since 1982\, Bruce Licher’s Independent Project Press is a contemporary studio that has bridged technological eras and produced an unparalleled body of work. It has culled from the past while simultaneously turning it on its head with a distinct visual vocabulary that continues to influence current aesthetics. \nFor the first time\, a comprehensive overview of Independent Project Records and Independent Project Press has been compiled into a monograph published by P22 Type Foundry\, produced in a quality that displays their  limited edition\, hand-made work in over 200 pages of full color\, from mechanical process work (for clients such as REM\, Stereolab\, and Camper Van Beethoven) to finished works of art with insights into the creative process along the way. The text includes an essay by Karen Nielsen Licher as well as material from Rudy Vanderlans’ Emigre magazine that featured the work of IPR & P. Co-designed by Bruce Licher and Jim Greishaber at P22\, Savage Impressions is a 12 x 12-inch hardcover book that displays in full color the diverse range of art and design produced by Independent Project Records & Press. \nThis first printing is an edition of one thousand copies\, with three-hundred and fifty of those being a now-sold out Deluxe Edition that includes a 12” vinyl record and other letterpress-printed ephemera. This book is a profound reminder of the value of the hand-made and how it can interface with the mass-produced. It will stand as major documentation of one of the most influential letterpress studios currently in existence.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Meet + Greet with Ryan Mungia
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 15th from 4:00 and 6:00 PM. stop in Arcana: Books on the Arts to meet and greet Ryan Mungia and celebrate the publication of his excellent Hat & Beard Press book\, Do You Compute? – Selling Tech From the Atomic Age to the Y2K Bug\, 1950-1999. \n“Before Alexa and the iPhone\, there was the large and unwieldy mainframe computer. In the postwar 1950s\, computers were mostly used for aerospace and accounting purposes. To the public at large\, they were on a rung that existed somewhere between engineering and science fiction. Magazine ads and marketing brochures were designed to create a fantasy surrounding these machines for prospective clients: Higher profit margins! Creativity unleashed! Total automation! With the invention of the microchip in the 1970s came the PC and video games\, which shifted the target of computer advertising from corporations to the individual. By the end of the millennium\, the notion of selling tech burst wide open to include robots\, cell phones\, blogs\, online dating services\, and much\, much more. \n‘Do You Compute?‘ is a broad survey featuring the very best of computer advertising in the 20th century. From the Atomic Age to the Y2K bug\, this volume presents a connoisseur’s selection of graphic gems culled from museums\, university archives\, and private collections to illustrate the evolution of the computer from its early days as a hulking piece of machinery to its current state as a handheld device. Accompanied by two essays – one by cultural anthropologist Ryan Mungia and the other by graphic design historian Steven Heller – and including five different decade-long timelines that highlight some of the most influential moments in computer history\, this fun yet meaningful volume is a unique look at the computer and how it has shaped our world.”

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Meet & Greet with Photographer Mark Steinmetz
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, January 18th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts to meet and greet photographer Mark Steinmetz.  Hot off The Nazraeli Press\, this latest monograph of his work\, MARK STEINMETZ: SUMMER CAMP\, is a collection of photographs that captures the spirit of youth during trips spent away at a summer camp. \n“Two projects I focused on were little league baseball – which became 2015’s The Players – and summer camps. Every year\, from spring into summer\, one would lead into another and certain things never changed… At summer camp\, you have sleeping bags\, cabins\, and campers. There isn’t much difference between them in 1990 or 1965. I like that time of age\, too. There’s a kind of grave maturity developing at around eleven years old. When a little kid laughs or cries\, it doesn’t have real resonance\, whereas if someone has these emotions between eight and twelve\, there’s a poignancy to it. When they become adults\, it’s just not the same. Many of these photos are about the predicament of being a kid put into a certain situation. In one picture\, these girls who have been so horrible to each other all summer are now parting – and the depth of their love just gushes out. It’s almost excruciating…” – Mark Steinmetz\, for Huck Magazine

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Photographer Melba Levick and Author Ruben G. Mendoza
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 14th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with photographer Melba Levick and author Ruben G. Mendoza for the release of Mission San Miguel Arcángel published by Nazraeli Press. \n“Mission San Miguel Arcángel was founded on July 25\, 1797 in what is now California’s Central Coast. The site was chosen in part because of the large number of Salinan Indians that inhabited the area\, whom the Spanish priests wanted to evangelize. Unlike most of the other missions in California\, Mission San Miguel’s appearance is much the same as it was when founded. The inside has never been repainted; the pictures and the colors decorating the six-food thick adobe walls are the originals that were created and painted by Indian artisans under the direction of Esteban Munras of Catalonia\, Spain. \nThe physical beauty of the structures and gardens is unparalleled\, but among California’s twenty-one Spanish missions\, San Miguel is in many ways considered to be the “poor stepson” of the chain\, and has until now been lacking a dedicated book. As it is only a short distance from Nazraeli Press’ editorial office and olive farm\, we are therefore especially pleased to announce this book\, dedicated to the history and present state of Mission San Miguel. \nWith over fifty photographic books to her credit\, Melba Levick is well known for her work as an architectural and travel photographer. Her photographs have been published and exhibited across North America and Europe for over thirty years\, ranging in subject matter from California ranches and Spanish-style homes\, to Antonio Gaudi in Barcelona\, Mexican gardens\, and the colors of India. Ruben G. Mendoza is an archaeologist\, author\, photographer\, and founding faculty member of California State University\, Monterey Bay.”

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Book Signing Celebrating Todd Hido
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 7th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts to celebrate master publisher Nazraeli Press‘ remastered edition of Todd Hido’s iconic and highly sought-after first monograph\, House Hunting.  \nTo celebrate the upcoming twentieth anniversary of this important book\, Nazraeli has collaborated closely with the artist to achieve a new impression of the highest possible fidelity. Printed on heavy weight matte art paper\, using cutting-edge technologies in both the pre-press and production phases\, this new edition stays true to the original design and format while delivering even more accurate color rendition and nuances in tone and saturation. It will be a welcome addition to collections lacking access to the very scarce original printings; and to those fortunate enough to own a copy of the original edition\, it further illuminates the images themselves that first catapulted the artist and his first monograph to fame. \n“Todd Hido’s large color photographs of suburbia are lonely\, forlorn\, mysterious… and strangely comforting. Hido photographs the interior rooms of repossessed tract homes\, and the outsides of similar houses at night whose habitation is suggested by the glow of a television set or unseen overhead bulb. Seldom does the similar evoke such melancholy. Yet rather than passing judgment on his anonymous subjects\, Hido manages to turn the banal into something beautiful\, imbuing his prints of interiors with soft pastels\, and allowing the exteriors to glow in the cool evening air.”

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Book Signing With Legendary Photographer Hugh Holland
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, November 23rd from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts in celebrating photographer Hugh Holland’s latest release\, Silver. Skate. Seventies\, chronicling the local skate scene of the 1970s. And as a bonus\, Arcana Books will be debuting the release of two brand new WAX Posters featuring Holland’s iconic images of youthful four-wheeled abandon. \nIn the 1970s\, photographer Hugh Holland masterfully captured the burgeoning culture of skateboarding against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape. This never-before-published collection showcases his black-and-white photographs that document young skateboarders sidewalk surfing off Mulholland Drive in concrete drainage ditches and empty swimming pools in a drought-ridden Southern California. From suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them\, this was the place that inspired the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached-blond hair\, tanned bodies\, tube socks and Vans\, these young outsiders evoke the sometimes reckless but always exhilarating origins of skateboarding lifestyle and culture.

DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, November 9th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts in welcoming Leo Marmol\, Ron Radziner and Mayer Rus for a book signing and discussion of their new release\, Site: Marmol Radziner in the Landscape.  \nCombining style with substance\, this lavish monograph from Princeton Architectural Press is an engaging document of nineteen homes drawn from twenty years of work. For the event principal partners Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner – who maintain an envious reference library\, even by Arcana’s standards – will discuss the firm’s history and projects\, and the making of their new book with the West Coast editor of AD\, critic and historian Mayer Rus. \nThe spectacular houses of Marmol Radziner merge interior and exterior life as they engage the built and natural environment. With lush photography and an expansive format\, Site: Marmol Radziner in the Landscape focuses on the evolving relationship between house and landscape\, revealing what the architects describe as “the gradual erasure of boundaries between indoor and outdoor” spaces. \nThis collection of nineteen houses\, shown in over two-hundred full-color photographs that will make readers swoon\, is organized by habitat – desert\, urban\, canyon\, and woodland – and includes projects in Southern California\, Arizona\, Utah\, Nevada\, and the Netherlands. A foreword by novelist Mona Simpson provides a personal reflection on her experiences in a Marmol Radziner house\, while an interview with partners Leo Marmol and Ron Radziner and detailed descriptions of their projects offer insights into the architects’ philosophy and process.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts Diane Keaton for a Book Signing of California Romantica
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 26th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host their longtime supporter\, Diane Keaton\, who will be signing copies of the lovely new edition of her long out of print Rizzoli classic\, California Romantica. \nCalifornia Romantica features the most important\, yet rarely seen\, residential examples of the California Mission and Spanish Colonial styles designed by such illustrious architects as Paul R. Williams\, George Washington Smith\, Wallace Neff\, Richard Requa\, and Lilian Rice\, among others. From whitewashed stucco walls and cloistered patios to tile roofs and sumptuous gardens\, each house shown is a rare masterpiece; splendidly appointed with authentic Monterey furniture\, California tile\, and Navajo rugs. \nIncluded among these magnificent seaside estates\, canyon villas\, and courtyard bungalows is Diane Keaton’s former home in Beverly Hills\, which she thoughtfully restored with noted designer Stephen Shadley\, and for which she has been recognized as a committed preservationist. As the author and compiler\, Ms. Keaton brings her cinematic eye\, a keen sense of natural drama\, and a profound appreciation for the nuances of shadow and light to the elucidation of these buildings\, through the selection of specially commissioned photography. Noted historian D.J. Waldie lucidly explicates the architecture and provides an intimate tour of a historic and distinctly Californian lifestyle. \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Photographer Michael Jang
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, October 5th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a meet and great with the semi-reclusive Michael Jang and immerse yourself in his wry images of a kinder\, gentler California that includes the likes of Jack Lemmon\, Peggy Lee\, ‘Ol Blue Eyes\, David Bowie\, The Ramones\, Devo\, The Sex Pistols\, David Hasselhoff\, Jerry Brown\, Harvey Milk\, John Baldessari\, Lee Friedlander\, and many\, many more. \nMichael Jang spent nearly four decades working as a successful commercial portrait photographer whilst quietly assembling a vast archive of thousands of remarkable images and authoring several now-iconic series: “The Jangs” (1973)\, “Beverly Hilton” (1973)\, “San Francisco” (1973–1987)\, “Summer Weather”  (1983)\, “College” (1972–1973)\, “Punks & Poets” (1978–1980)\, and “Garage Band” (2001). For forty years\, Jang revealed nothing of that vast archive until 2001 when he submitted a number of photographs for consideration to The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Once “discovered”\, his work has steadily gained acclaim and over the past fifteen years those images have found a wider audience in a series of museum and galley exhibitions and hard to find books. \nThe artist’s first major monograph – “Who Is Michael Jang?” – is published by Atelier Éditions in conjunction with his first major retrospective exhibition\, “Michael Jang’s California”. Curated by Michael Jang’s long-time collaborator and the book’s essayist\, SFMoMA curator emerita of photography\, Sandra S. Phillips\, the show will be on view September 27th\, 2019 to January 18th\, 2020 at The McEvoy Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco \n

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Billy Al Bengston and Joan Agajanian Quinn on September 7th
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, September 7th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, stop by Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing and Q & A with Billy Al Bengston\, moderated by Joan Agajanian Quinn. \nFor more than sixty years Billy Al Bengston has been an innovative and integral part of the Southern California cultural scene. A member of the original group of Los Angeles artists to exhibit at Ferus Gallery\, Mr. Bengston has made a name for himself over the decades in the varied worlds of contemporary art\, surfing\, and dirt-track motorcycle racing. From his early Dentos and Finish / Fetish pieces to delicate watercolors of Dracula bearded irises and beyond\, his work remains remarkably vibrant and ever-inventive. He has been the subject of several major museum retrospectives\, but until now there has never been a single comprehensive book to fully do justice to his prolific body of work. \nAt long last\, from Galerie Neuendorf comes that tome – Billy Al Bengston: Paintings & Watercolors! This lavishly illustrated hardbound volume features hundreds of works spanning 1957 through 2016\, and contains a detailed chronology\, exhibition history\, bibliography\, collections listing\, and more.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Host Exhibition + Book Signing for Gary Cannone
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, August 3rd from 4:00 and 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts in collaboration with Hubbyco for an exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Gary Cannone’s Albums by Conceptual Artists artworks\, along with a book signing for Forever Now – the limited edition catalogue that documents them! In addition\, there will be a special Conceptual Art-themed record party hosted by Mr. Cannone and the illustrious Tosh Berman.  \nAlbums by Conceptual Artists originated as a crowd-sourced online project in which Gary Cannone encouraged like-minded artists to infiltrate popular and obscure album covers with content from the history of contemporary art in a communal act of parody. Begun as a Facebook comment thread\, a Tumblr site of the project soon followed and grew to over five hundred album cover contributions ranging from transgressive to silly\, from informative to obtuse. Cannone sees the series as a form of fan fiction\, a positive creative act often using arcane minutiae linking the worlds of art and music done by and for art nerds. The artist’s formative influences include 70s comedy such as Norm Crosby\, Wacky Packages\, Carol Burnett\, Mad Magazine\, and the disembodied PA from M*A*S*H (the TV series). He is a 2019 recipient of a California Community Foundation’s Fellowship in Visual Arts grant and his artist’s book\, Time Settings for a Microwave Oven with Broken Three\, Four\, and Nine Buttons was recently acquired by The Getty Museum. His current work explores the phenomenology of furniture in gallery spaces through the lens of a prop comic.

SUMMARY:New Date! Arcana Books Welcomes Photographer Bill Owens
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, June 29th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing with photographer Bill Owens in celebration of the release of Altamont 1969. \nPlease welcome our longtime friend of Arcana Books\, distilling mogul and renowned photographer Bill Owens for some afternoon revelry and drinks to coincide with his brand new book documenting the Rolling Stones’ Altamont Free Festival held in Northern California fifty years ago! In addition to copies of “Altamont 1969”\, there will be a limited supply of his out of print titles “Bill Owens”\, “Working”\, “Leisure”\, and the iconic “Suburbia”. \nBill Owens: Altamont 1969 presents a new and previously unpublished series of photographs of The Rolling Stones’ infamous concert at the Altamont Speedway in Northern California. The Altamont Free Festival has become an emblem of the upheavals and aftershocks of a decade of change\, and where Owens captured a generation’s desire to stand up and raise its voices against the war in Vietnam\, against segregation and racial discrimination\, against authority in general. Owens was hired by the Associated Press to cover what promised to be a huge rock concert whose lineup featured the Stones\, Jefferson Airplane\, The Grateful Dead\, Santana\, The Flying Burrito Brothers\, and Crosby\, Stills\, Nash & Young. But when he arrived at the Speedway with “two Nikons\, three lenses\, thirteen rolls of film\, a sandwich and a jar of water\,” the photographer witnessed one of the defining moments of the late sixties. The Utopian hopes and innocent conviviality of the 1960s gave way to tension and a deadly violence; as the Stones continued to play and much of the crowd remained oblivious\, an eighteen year-old African-American boy named Meredith Hunter was killed by the Hell’s Angels who had been hired as concert security. This book captures the era’s agitated energy that manifested itself in slogans and billboards\, sit-ins and demonstrations\, and a concert that was treated as a collective rite

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Meet & Greet with Mark de Paola
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, June 8th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a meet and greet with Mark de Paola as he unveils his limited edition publication. \nMark de Paola was literally born into a photo studio on Cahuenga Blvd in Los Angeles\, and grew up splitting time between Los Angeles and New York. His earliest recollections are of watching photo shoots and being completely immersed in the fashion books and periodicals of the time – Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Mark’s photographic foundation is the works of his father Alessio\, Richard Avedon\, Irving Penn\, Bert Stern\, and Art Kane. \nNow based in New York\, Mr. de Paola is a fine art photographer who has had multiple covers for the likes of Vogue Spain and Vogue Mexico\, as well as campaigns and commercials for Donna Karan\, Laura Biagiotti\, Neutrogena\, Gucci\, Brioni\, Sephora\, Sony\, Leica Camera\, Giorgio RED perfume\, and MAC Cosmetics to name a few. He has directed nearly seven hundred television commercials in the fashion and beauty sector and has extensive campaign and retail experience. \n“Created over several years\, “Recent Work” includes portrait\, nude\, landscape\, and inanimate object; illuminating de Paola’s memories\, feelings and impressions of people\, places and objects he has known. Carefully sequenced by the photographer himself\, the series invites viewers to leave behind the everyday and journey with him… Provoking us to project meanings into its viscerally striking\, blurred and saturated forms. De Paola’s desire to wield the lens as an extension of his own body is clear in the subtle way he escorts us through his cinematic world. “Recent Work” is endlessly fascinating and promises to reward those who visit and revisit it again and again.” \n
