Presented by Brian Chidester

Dive into the work of Don Blanding, one of Tiki culture's most enigmatic and alluring figures. His poetry collection "Vagabond's House" became a cornerstone of the Tiki aesthetic in the post-WW2 era, influencing such luminaries as Eden Ahbez, Donn Beach, Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron, and Paul Page. Blanding's brand of escapist poetry and images also influenced the Pop-Art and Art Nouveau revivals of the psychedelic '60s.

Brian Chidester is a creative historian with a focus on California subculture. He is co-director of documentary films about Eden Ahbez and Don Blanding, co-author of the book "Pop Surf Culture," and curator of the art exhibitions "Beyond the Pleasuredome: The Occult Works of Burt Shonberg" and "Para-Moderne: Life Reform Movements from 1900 Onwards."

Presented by Sven Kirsten

Sven Kirsten will present a plethora of Polynesian pop imagery from Witco’s early days to the catalog photos that he opened his Book of Tiki with. Seven years after the BOT was published, Witco’s wild work inspired Sven to write the definitive history of this way- out wood-whittling workshop with his book Tiki Modern. With previously unseen artist’s sketches, catalog pictures and photos of the dens of crazy Witco collectors, this presentation will be a visual joy ride for the fans as well as the newcomers to this genre.

A love of visuals inspired Sven Kirsten to collect and photograph the remnants of the forgotten culture of Polynesian pop in America, leading him to identify the Tiki as its icon. In 2000, he published his findings in The Book of Tiki, which presented all aspects of Tiki style — its design, graphics, architecture, social culture, culinary and cocktail mixology — and put Tiki firmly on the map of American pop culture. Kirsten followed with Tiki Modern, Tiki Pop, The Art of Tiki and now his most recent book, Palm Springs Tiki.
