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.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Welcomes Architects Marmol Radziner
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

SUMMARY:Book Signing + Conversation with Rohina Hoffman and Aline Smithson
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, May 18th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm\, please join us at Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing and conversation with Rohina Hoffman and Aline Smithson in celebration of the launch of Hair Stories. \nHair Stories is a series of excerpted interviews and color portraits of a diverse array of women that explores the complex relationship women have with their hair. Indian-born\, Los Angeles–based photographer Rohina Hoffman deployed the interviewing skills she has developed in her training as a neurologist to establish an intimate rapport that allowed for a truthful dialogue about the role of hair in these women’s lives. Though conceived and shot before the #MeToo movement\, this salient project presents hair as a metaphor for identity\, femininity\, and the manner in which women struggle for control over their own bodies in a sometimes misogynistic world. Hair Stories shows that hair is more than just style or aesthetics; it is a physical manifestation of the ongoing hope and history of women. \nBorn in India and raised in New Jersey\, Rohina Hoffman is a fine art photographer whose practice uses portraiture and the natural world to investigate themes of identity\, home\, women’s issues\, and adolescence. A graduate of Brown University Medical School and resident at UCLA Medical Center\, her training led to a career as a neurologist. While an undergraduate at Brown University\, Rohina also studied photography at RISD and was a staff photographer for the Brown Daily Herald. A skilled observer of her patients\, Rohina was instilled with a deep and unique appreciation of the human experience. Her ability to forge the sacred trust between doctor and patient has been instrumental in fostering a parallel connection between photographer and subject. \nAline Smithson is an artist\, educator\, and editor based in Los Angeles. She is best known for her conceptual portraiture and a practice that uses humor and pathos to explore the performative potential of photography. Growing up in the shadow of Hollywood\, her work is influenced by the elevated unreal. She received a BA in art from the University of California at Santa Barbara and was accepted into the College of Creative Studies. After a decade-long career as a New York Fashion Editor\, Aline returned to Los Angeles and to her own artistic practice. She founded LENSCRATCH\, a photography journal that celebrates a different contemporary photographer each day\, has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine\, and has curated and jurored numerous exhibitions.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts Public Issue 2 Launch Party + Signing
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, April 27th between 4:00 and 6:00 PM\, please stop by Arcana: Books on the Arts to celebrate the West Coast launch of the latest installment of Creative Director Alexander McWhirter’s thematic annual art and fashion journal\, Public.  \nPresented in a distinctive large-format with three different cover options\, the highly-anticipated new issue tackles the challenge “We Must Take Action”. Public 2 features seven subjects photographed by Camille Vivier\, Jack Webb\, Eileen Cowin\, Thomas Giddings\, Aleksandra Zagozda\, Moises Saman\, and Rachel Lamb\, with styling by Delphine Danhier\, Eliza Conlon\, and Shibon Kennedy. Notes McWhirter: “The obvious is all around us. It is a void in which everything has been fine-tuned to such an extent that indistinctiveness prevails. “Cool” has become inoffensive and predictable\, and taste is easy to place a pulse on. Public breaks this pattern of democratized cool\, bringing together a body of work that covers a unique perspective on subjects in life.” \nOriginally from London\, Alexander McWhirter began his career in New York as the Art Director at V Magazine before founding McWhirter Studio. His projects focus on working closely with distinctive collaborators to present a narrative that observes human interaction\, be that with our environment or with each other. The story is woven together with elements from art and fashion\, the resulting idea is unmistakable and inclusive to all. He has collaborated with Visionaire\, Suzanne Geiss Gallery\, Cultural Traffic\, and Calvin Klein\, where he worked closely with Raf Simons and Pieter Mulier on 2017 campaigns for Calvin Klein Jeans\, Underwear\, and the 205W39NYC RTW Collection Book.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Conversation + Book Signing with Dafi Kühne
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 2nd from 4 to 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a meet\, greet\, and book signing with master graphic designer\, Dafi Kühne\, in conversation with Lars Müller and Gloria Kondrup. \nDafi Kühne is a Swiss designer who works with analog and digital ways to produce fresh and unique letterpress-printed posters. Using very different kinds of instruments – from a MacBook to a pantograph – for his compositions\, he pushes the boundaries of design. Never afraid of getting his hands dirty in his creative workshop\, Kühne embraces the labor involved in the entire process of creating a poster from initial idea to finished product. Fusing modern means with the centuries-old tradition of the letterpress\, he forms a new vocabulary on how to communicate through type and form in a truly un-nostalgic way. Never retro\, his work is a clever response to the search for new ways of graphic expression: true print. True Print is also the title of his first comprehensive monograph published by Lars Müller. \nDafi Kühne (*1982) is a graphic designer. He studied Visual Communication at Zurich University of the Arts and owns a design and letterpress printing studio named babyinktwice. He was included in Print magazine’s 20 under 30 list in 2012. \nLars Müller\, born in Oslo in 1955 and a Norwegian citizen\, has been based in Switzerland since 1963. After becoming a graphic designer in Zurich\, extended travels\, and a one-year assistant position with designer Wim Crouwel in Amsterdam\, Müller established his studio in Baden / Switzerland in 1982. In 1983 he published his first book and\, as Lars Müller Publishers\, has produced some six hundred titles to date. Müller is a passionate educator and has taught at various universities in Switzerland and in Europe\, frequently serves on academic and competition juries\, and is currently a member of the steering board of Design Preis Schweiz. From 2013 to 2015\, Müller was the international president of AGI – Alliance Graphique Internationale. \nGloria Kondrup is a full-time professor as well as the Executive Director of the Hoffmitz Milken Center for Typography at Art Center College of Design. As the Director of Archetype Press – ArtCenter’s unique and vibrant letterpress studio – she redefines the value of typography and analog technology in the digital landscape. Her fine art printworks and books span both fields of art and design\, and are in private and public collections including AIGA\, The Getty\, and the Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry. As a design consultant to national and international firms she has helped evolve extensive branding\, identity\, and packaging systems for clients including Aon\, Avon\, and Goodwill Industries.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Celebrates Todd Hido's Bright Black World
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 15th from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts  to celebrate the publication of Todd Hido’s magnificent new book\, Bright Black World from Nazraeli Press. Stop by to quaff refreshments\, socialize\, and engage in some festive last-minute holiday shopping. \nFor over two decades\, Todd Hido has crafted narratives through loose and mysterious suburban scenes\, desolate landscapes\, and stylized portraits. He has traversed North America capturing places that feel at once familiar and unknown; welcoming and unsettling. Underscoring the influences of Nordic mythology and specifically the idea of Fimbulwinter\, which translates into the ‘endless winter’\, Hido’s new monograph\, Bright Black World alludes to and provides form for this notion of an apocalyptic\, never-ending winter. Exploring the dark terrain of the Northern European landscape and regions as far as the North Sea of Japan enchanted Hido\, calling him back on several occasions. This presents the artist’s first significant foray extensively photographing territory outside of the United States\, chronicling a decidedly new psychological geography. \nOpening with a text by Alexander Nemerov\, Bright Black World contains forty-eight plates printed in an over-sized format\, featuring two vertical gatefolds and a fold-out poster measuring some 25 by 40 inches. This first printing is limited to 3\,000 cloth bound copies.

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a Special Performance by Anthony Wilson
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Sunday\, December 9th from 4 to 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as Anthony Wilson will be performing an intimate set from Songs and Photographs with Jay Bellerose\, Patrick Warren\, and Garret Lang followed by a discussion with producer Joe Harley and publisher Nina Holland of Little Steidl. \nIn the new album and photobook Songs and Photographs – beautifully produced in collaboration with German art book publisher Little Steidl – Anthony Wilson brings together a collection of his songs and 35mm photographs that opens a new chapter in his broadening quest for personal and musical authenticity. \n“Most mornings I wake up and go out wandering with my camera\, sometimes in my hometown of Los Angeles\, often in places around the world where I am traveling on tour. I look\, watch\, and take in the space around me. I’m conscious of my attentive state\, totally absorbed in noticing things. My path determines itself\, each picture leads me to the next. It’s a meandering journey through a landscape or cityscape\, but also through my own personal experience. Often the smallest things are what stop me in my tracks and compel me to point the camera and snap the shutter. In Songs and Photographs\, the visual and musical paths of my process converge into a single work in which the songs and the photographs speak back and forth to each other.”  \nBorn in Los Angeles in 1968\, guitarist and composer Anthony Wilson is known for a body of work that moves fluidly across genres. The son of legendary jazz trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson\, his musical lineage has deeply influenced his creative trajectory\, compositional choices\, instrumental groupings\, and the wide-ranging twelve album discography that blooms out of them. \nUpcoming Arcana Books Events \nSaturday\, December 15\n4 to 6 PM\nTODD HIDO: BRIGHT BLACK WORLD\nBook Signing \nSunday\, December 16\n4 to 6 PM\nEVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT COLLECTING FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY\nPeter Fetterman in conversation with Lee Kaplan

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts Photographer Mona Kuhn
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 8th from 4 to 6 pm\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a book signing\, discussion\, refreshments and festive Holiday shopping with Mona Kuhn and Deanna Templeton\, presented in collaboration with Photographic Arts Council – Los Angeles. \nBorn in Brazil\, photographer Mona Kuhn currently resides in Los Angeles. Through intimacy with her subjects\, knowledge of traditional iconography\, and technical mastery\, Kuhn portrays the complexities of human nature\, both tempting and provoking our imagination. Newly published by Stanley / Barker in the UK\, Bushes & Succulents is Mona Kuhn’s celebration of the female essence – confident\, raw and elegant\, yet confrontational and unapologetic. \nReminiscent of Georgia O’Keeffe’s floral paintings\, your eyes wander around the graceful lines\, not knowing exactly what you are looking at. Kuhn’s use of the solarization process reveals human imperfections in the metallic brilliance of the skin\, and brings to the surface a woman’s struggles\, strengths\, and power. The photographer states: “The frame reminded me of early childhood\, at age eight or so\, when I would jump in the shower with my mother. It resonates an adoration and child-like curiosity for what it is to be a woman. My intention is not to objectify the body\, but to celebrate the female body and its essence.” \n

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for an afternoon with Ed Templeton!
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Sunday\, December 2nd from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts as they host their longtime pal\, Ed Templeton for what promises to be a stellar afternoon of good vibes\, delicious libations\, and holiday gift shopping! \nTangentially Parenthetical is a selection of photographs from Ed Templeton’s vast street photography archive – curated\, arranged\, and then rearranged by the man himself. The follow up to his 2014 Um Yeah Arts survey Wayward Cognitions\, Tangentially Parenthetical picks up where the latter collection ended. By combining intimate\, accidental\, and unconnected moments into one linear piece of work\, he tells hundreds of new stories through the thoughtful arrangement of semi-related-yet-completely-unfastened imagery. “I’m out there shooting photos all the time that don’t necessarily fall under any theme other than general life\,” says Templeton\, “which is a lame title for a book.” With a wink to the absurd\, sandwiched between a cover of patterned parentheses and with an afterword built from his own stream-of-consciousness storytelling\, Templeton delivers a visual mountain from an archive of stunning molehills in which the images are carefully chosen\, shuffled by hand\, and laid out with the dueling impulses of wonder and wit.

SUMMARY:Arcana Books Hosts a Celebration Honoring Bill Berkson
DESCRIPTION:Free\nOn Saturday\, December 1st from 4 to 6 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts to celebrate the publication of Bill Berkson’s\, Since When: A Memoir in Pieces\, with a presentation by friends\, family\, and colleagues honoring his life and work. \nBill Berkson was a poet\, art critic\, and joyful participant in the best of postwar and bohemian American culture. He collaborated with many artists and writers\, including Alex Katz\, Philip Guston\, and Frank O’Hara. He was the author of several collections of poetry and criticism\, and appeared in ARTnews\, Art in America\, and many more. Formerly a professor of liberal arts at the San Francisco Art Institute\, he was born in New York in 1939\, and died in June 2016. Since When: A Memoir in Pieces gathers the ephemera of a life well lived\, a collage of bold-face names such as John Cage\, Allen Ginsburg\, and Marilyn Monroe\, parties\, exhibitions\, and literary history from a man who could write “of [Truman Capote’s Black and White] ball\, which I attended as my mother’s escort\, I have little recollection” and reminisce about imagining himself as a character from Tolstoy while tripping on acid at Woodstock. Gentle\, witty\, and eternally generous\, this is Bill\, and a particular moment in American history\, at its best. \nThis celebration launches with a very special tribute to Bill Berkson featuring readings from his works by Moses Berkson\, Constance Lewallen\, DeeDee Gordon\, Karen Moss\, Joan Simon\, Mitch Temple\, Dorit Cypis\, Aram Saroyan\, Michael Smoler\, and Lisa John.

SUMMARY:Join Arcana Books for a SUPERSONIC Book Signing with author Lawrence Azerrad
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 17th\, 4:00 – 6:00 PM\, please join Arcana: Books on the Arts for a SUPERSONIC book signing with author LAWRENCE AZERRAD. \nWhen the first commercial Concordes zoomed off the runways in Paris and London in the late 1960s\, crossing the Atlantic in just under three hours\, they established a new standard for luxury flight. Powered by 38\,000 pounds of thrust and easily recognizable with its delta wing and drooping nose\, the Concorde jet embodied the pinnacle of aviation technology and industrial design. It quickly became the preferred mode of transatlantic flight for superstars and business moguls alike. \nOpening with a lively history of the jet and how it changed travel\, Supersonic focuses on the look and feel of the Concorde. Photos of the jet’s evolving interiors show how the original\, starkly designed cabin gave way to luxury seats and interiors designed by the likes of Sir Terence Conran and Andrée Putman.
