RVCA Presents Two Tiny Vices Events

RVCA, Hope Gallery, and Family Bookstore are proud to announce two nights of tinyvices events.

Wednesday, November 5, 7pm
tinyvices Aperture Book Series Launch

Family Bookstore
436 N. Fairfax Avenue
Los Angeles,CA,90036

Family Bookstore hosts a slideshow presentation by Tim Barber to launch the tinyvices-curated series through Aperture books. The Book Launch at Family presents the tinyvices series Barber curated for Aperture Books, featuring five separate volumes, limited to 1,000 copies per edition. The series reflects the loose spirit of the website and offers a range of styles and approaches to photography - Kenneth Cappello’s casual snapshots of the skate scene of his youth, Allan Macintyre’s rigorous investigations of geological activity, Jason Nocito’s playful groupings of disparate images, Robin Schwartz’s disquieting portraits of her daughter and Jaimie Warren’s theatrical self-portraits. Each book is introduced by a prominent artist, writer or curator. Artists included: Kenneth Cappello * Allan Macintyre * Jason Nocito * Robin Schwartz * Jaimie Warren
