SUMMARY:Clubhouse Turn: The Twilight of Hollywood Park Race Track
DESCRIPTION:On December 22\, 2013\, Hollywood Park Racetrack closed its doors permanently.\n\nComprising 500 photographs culled from more than 25\,000 taken on location\, Clubhouse Turn (2013-2016) is the final documentation of the historic landmark before its demolition. It is a portrait of not only the architecture and grounds of Hollywood Park\, but of those individuals whose livelihood and identities were dependent upon it: a portrait of a quickly vanishing Los Angeles.\n\n\n\n\nConstructed on a swampy landmass in Inglewood\, Hollywood Park Racetrack was envisioned by entertainment moguls. Inglewood welcomed the executives\, who had been excluded from other venues due to prejudice. The first turn on a racetrack immediately after the finish line\, known as the clubhouse turn\, is considered to be the best vantage point to see the finish of the race and is therefore where the privileged sit. Built with the values of a bygone era and the mythologies of the track\, Hollywood Park was a place where the privileged and disenfranchised co-mingled; it epitomized the social complexity of a place of fantasy and dreams\, winning and losing. Clubhouse Turn strives to produce a pictorial record of the inevitable amalgamation of imagined and actual realities\, environment and circumstance. By grouping the images into framed constructions\, the work functions like memory—consolidating\, diffusing\, and reorganizing what has now disappeared. \n\n\n\nAn in-person presentation by Michele Asselin\, editorial photographer and author

SUMMARY:The Orange and the Dream of California
DESCRIPTION:The Orange and the Dream of California takes a lively\, literary\, and extraordinarily visual look at the symbiotic and highly symbolic relationship between the Golden State and its “golden apple.” Untold thousands of adventurers and health-seekers came West in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century\, lured by postcards of orange blossoms juxtaposed to snow-capped mountains. Orange juice became the way to start every day after Sunkist spread the word that drinking a California orange was not only as sweet and delicious as eating one\, but held the promise to a healthy life. The orange became a symbol of everything California promised\, and California became the center of the Orange Empire. \nIn 176 full-color pages and more than 250 images\, author David Boulé shares the absorbing story of the orange and its impact on the culture—historic\, financial\, artistic\, and even romantic—of California. And\, he tells the tale of citriculture\, the complex\, captivating\, and controversial world of growing the orange. \nAn in-person presentation by David Boulé\, author and historian

SUMMARY:Karmiole Endowed Lecture: Paul Elder: A Literary Life in Seven Bookstores and Exhibition Opening
DESCRIPTION:After resigning from his sales position at William Doxey’s bookstore in San Francisco’s famous Palace Hotel in 1897\, a young Paul Elder opened his own shop two blocks away. Elder’s goal was a bookstore with a carefully crafted ambience\, reflecting his embrace of the California Arts & Crafts Movement. Elder’s own publications were often designed with the same Arts & Crafts aesthetic. This talk will present a tour of Elder’s San Francisco bookstores\, as he persevered through the 1906 Earthquake and Fire\, helped to revitalize downtown\, and celebrated the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. \nAn in-person presentation by David Mostardi\, book collector\, curator\, and historian

SUMMARY:Neon: A Light History
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible that (once again) everything we know is wrong? Well\, in regards to the history of neon\, this may well be the case. Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein have penned a brief\, but concise history of the neon sign beginning at the beginning\, and covering scandals\, murder\, fascists\, and forgotten inventors. A full-color\, lavishly illustrated electrical bodice ripper\, aficionados of neon will find this an indispensable “bible” to the history of their favorite collision of art and commerce. \nRevealing neon signs as active agents in sweeping cultural\, economic\, and political changes nationwide\, DeLyser and Greenstein introduce readers to a compelling cast of characters\, many of whom\, they show\, continue to keep neon vibrant today. Taking readers inside the signs themselves\, the authors show how each sign\, whether historic or contemporary\, is made by skilled hands—today just as they were over one hundred years ago. \nDrawing from over a decade of in-depth archival and ethnographic research as well as more than four decades of experience in the sign industry\, DeLyser and Greenstein use Los Angeles—not New York or Las Vegas—as focal point\, showing how neon signs have catalyzed urban change\, and how they continue to hold appeal for our changing communities—developing with the automobile and car-and-consumer culture in the twentieth century\, expanding from cities to towns\, and along highways to remote roadside outposts. From the earliest luminous tubing in the 1890s to the artistic creations of today\, from community-funded restorations of historic signs to ordinary-seeming business signs that have become community icons\, DeLyser and Greenstein show how\, just as neon signs lit our past\, they can now light our shared future. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\, and Paul Greenstein\, author and neon light professional

SUMMARY:Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a work of historical fiction came to define how we understand southern California’s past. \nDydia DeLyser is Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton. A native Californian\, she began researching the “Ramona Myth” as an undergraduate at UCLA. Her book\, “Ramona Memories: Tourism and the Shaping of Southern California” (University of Minnesota Press\, 2005) is the only scholarly\, book-length treatment of this important element of southern California’s past. Her research\, based on obscure archival sources as well as a growing personal collection of Ramona-related tourist souvenirs\, revealed that it was not the promoters and boosters who first fabulated Ramona-related attractions\, but the tourists themselves who demanded that Ramona locales become visitable tourist sites\, thus reshaping not only the region’s landscape\, but also how generations have thought about its past. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\,

SUMMARY:Googie Modern: Architectural Drawings of Armet Davis Newlove
DESCRIPTION:In Googie Modern: Architectural Drawings of Armet Davis Newlove\, authors Michael Murphy and Alan Hess take readers inside the private archives of the forward-thinking trio dubbed the “fathers of Googie.” Inspiring not just artists and filmmakers but the public at large\, their futuristic coffee shops and restaurants made dining out a space-age experience\, just as man was ready to walk on the moon. Armet Davis Newlove’s architecture captured the optimistic and forward-thinking mood in post-war America and set the bar for what would become Mid-Century Modern style. The firm’s high-concept designs shaped Southern California and then took off across the American landscape\, giving the US innovative\, practical\, and gorgeous monuments of everyday life. Each remarkable rendering demonstrates the passion and precision that went into every Armet Davis Newlove creation. Googie Modern is itself a monument to the excitement and optimism that once lined the streets of mid-century America. \nAn in-person presentation by Michael Murphy\, author\, art director\, and design professional\, and Alan Hess\, architect\, author\, and historian.
