We're so excited for tomorrow (4-6) at Arcana: it’s a double book signing with Ethan Rafal (Shock And Awe) and Ed Templeton! Ed will be here with a handful of his new books: Teenage Smokers 2, the new edition of Wayward Cognitions, the Common Side Effects catalogue, Umbrella, and the beautiful new Adventures in the Nearby Far Away. We will also have copies of the original Teenage Smokers along with a few vintage rarities. Read more about this sensational event here.

In the spirit of our double book signing, we have TWO books of the day > Ed Templeton: Teenage Smokers 2 (Super Labo, Tokyo) and Adventures in the Nearby Far Way (Éditions Bessard, Paris).  Teenage Smokers 2: In 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. Now, hot off the press from Tokyo's Super Labo is Teenage Smokers 2 - featuring a brand new generation of nicotine-inhaling youngsters.  Adventures in the Nearby Far Away is a spectacular presentation of Ed’s Catalina Island photographs, both dreamily beautiful and soberingly unvarnished. An edition of 1000 copies, it’s an accordion book that unfolds to a span of over 27 feet – printed on both sides! - inside an beautiful clamshell box design by Cyrielle Molard.
