lso in Culver City…
In conjunction with the Zine Fest, Arcana Books hosts a special two-day exhibition which began yesterday, Saturday, February 15 and continues today. Arcana: Books on the Arts will feature the work of reclusive outsider artist and folk engineer, eb.
Oft-viewed as a crank by the academic establishment, this special presentation will take a closer look at eb’s controversial-yet-plausible theory that for decades Egyptologists have been incorrectly attributing symbols depicted in the hieroglyphic language as religious icons, when according to eb, they are simply artistic renditions of the actual tools used to build the pyramids.
The exhibit will include reconstructed contemporary working versions of these tools as well as present a fully operating ramp model that demonstrates exactly how all of the oddly shaped “function specific” tools depicted on the hieroglyphs worked together to form a larger assembly line system that enabled the Egyptians to easily roll the massive stones up the ramps.
What: Closing reception
Where: ARCANA: BOOKS ON THE ARTS, 8675 Washington Blvd., Culver City, 90232
When: 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
