The Art Scene: 06.06.13
Four Women at Ille
Ille Arts in Amagansett will show the artwork of Monica Banks, Suzanne Goldenberg, Janet Nolan, and Nicole Parcher in a show called “Four Women” beginning tomorrow with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Banks will create an installation of teacups and miniature figures with one of her cloud sculptures hanging overhead. Ms. Goldenberg creates assembled sculptures of wires and found objects in forms related to other objects but still abstracted. Ms. Nolan uses “post-consumer objects” in “serial methods of construction” in sculptures that look like helixes or strands of DNA. Ms. Parcher complements the sculptors with paintings focused on the tension between line and color.
The exhibition will be on view through June 22.
Architecture at Parrish
The Parrish Art Museum will present the first in a series of talks coordinated with the Peconic branch of the American Institute of Architects, tomorrow at 6 p.m. The presentation, “Architectural Sessions at the Parrish: Drawing Art into Architecture,” will feature Alice Aycock, Roberto Behar, and Maziar Behrooz.
They were chosen for their cross-disciplinary practices to “discuss the creative possibilities and problems at the intersection of art and architecture.” Tickets to the program, which is presented in conjunction with the exhibition “Alice Aycock Drawings: Some Stories Are Worth Repeating,” are $10; free for members, children, and students, and include museum admission.
Advance reservations have been recommended.
