It's time to join us for the Printed Matter Los Angeles Art Book Fair! The first two years have been outstanding in terms of attendance, energy, and sheer volume of amazing stuff for sale under one gigantic roof; and this one promises to be the best yet.
 
We'll be downtown again this year with another enticing assortment of rarities including Pop and Conceptual artists’ books and catalogues, (maga)’zines, artworks + multiples, and an array of coveted posters, announcements and ephemera. It's a unique opportunity to shop many of the exquisite, inspiring, and rarely-seen items from the Arcana: Books on the Arts hidden-recesses and flat files. See you there!

While you're at the fair, be sure to check out: The Templetons - Books and Zines. Our pals at Boo-Hooray are hosting a not-to-be-missed exhibit, curated by Johan Kugelberg, Clint Woodside and Ed & Deanna Templeton, devoted to their zines, books and related artworks.

"Wayward Cognitions" is a collection of photographs by Ed Templeton, chosen from his archives spanning twenty years. For this volume, Templeton selected images that do not fit into his usual manner of organizing by theme or subject. In past publications he has arranged his work in straightforward groupings such as Teenage Kissers, Teenage Smokers, or photographs shot from a moving car. In "Deformer", he presented the photographs under the theme of suburbia. "Wayward Cognitions" represents the in-between moments that arise when shooting in the streets without theme or subject. "It's about looking, people watching, finding pleasure in the visual vignettes we glimpse each day," says Templeton. When those moments are removed from the context in which they were shot, dynamic stories can be told or imagined in book form. The photographs in "Wayward Cognitions" were printed by Templeton in his darkroom; he then created the layout and design himself, building the book from scratch in his home studio."
