Carone at Washburn

The Washburn Gallery in New York City will present “Nicolas Carone: Paintings From the 1950s” today through Jan. 17, with a reception tonight from 6 to 8.

Although Mr. Carone continued to paint until his death in 2010 at 93, it was during the ’50s that he was a central figure in the New York School. He bought a house in Springs in 1954 and split his time afterward between the city and the South Fork.

Helen Harrison, the director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, has written of Mr. Carone, “During the 1950s, when he was living and working in Springs while managing the Stable Gallery in Manhattan, the outer world of his immediate experience was divided between city and country. The tension of this urban-rural dichotomy is reflected in the dynamic movement, rendered in earthy tonalities, that characterizes Carone’s paintings of that decade.”

Ceglic’s Mother’s Store

FiveMyles, a gallery in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, will present “My Mother’s Store,” an installation by Jack Ceglic, from Saturday through Dec. 13. A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Mr. Ceglic, an artist who lives in East Hampton and New York City and who co-founded and designed Dean and DeLuca, grew up in Crown Heights, where his parents owned an egg and butter store 70 years ago.

The installation will include 25 drawings of the foods that were displayed in his parents’ store. In the center of the gallery he will create a remembered interpretation of the corner of the store where his father checked eggs for freshness. The gallery floor will be painted the yellow of butter and egg yolks. A talk on the changing aesthetics of food retailing will take place Dec. 13 at 4 p.m.

Performance at Parrish

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will present “Into the Maze,” a performance by the Stephen Petronio Company inspired by and set in “Maze,” a large sculpture by Alan Shields, tomorrow at 6 p.m. and Saturday afternoon at 1, 2, 3, and 4.

“Maze” is the centerpiece of the exhibition “Alan Shields: In Motion,” on view at the museum through Jan. 19. Constructed from painted canvas and cotton belting hung from a grid of steel poles, the work stands seven feet tall and has two entrances.

Created by Mr. Petronio, whose New York-based dance company has performed in 26 countries over the past 30 years, the performance will incorporate body pieces designed by Mr. Shields. Terrie Sultan, the director of the Parrish, will introduce tomorrow’s performance, and a question-and-answer period with Mr. Petronio will follow. The dancers will give interactive tours of “Maze” after each of the 20-minute performances.

Tickets are $10, free for members, students, and children.

Five at Ashawagh

“Five for Fall,” a group exhibition, will be on view Saturday and Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, with a reception planned for Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Participating artists are Joan Furia Klutch, a painter and printmaker whose expressionist palette abstracts nature’s shapes and colors; John Todaro, a photographer whose images focus on contrast, color, and pattern in nature, and Cynthia Loewen, a painter who specializes in landscapes and seascapes.

Also on view will be works by Lynn Martell, whose paintings and watercolors highlight luminescence and contrast in the East End landscape, and Peter Gumpel, an architect whose figurative watercolors seek to capture the essence of a scene or figure.

Zerner’s Tapestry Collages

The Enchanted World Emporium in East Hampton is presenting an ongoing exhibition of tapestry and mixed-media collages by Amy Zerner, an East Hampton artist and fashion designer whose one-of-a-kind couture creations are sold exclusively through Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.

Persian paintings, Victoriana, fairy-tale art, mythology, and other sources inspire the images in her lush, intricate fabric collages. They are composed of landscapes, sacred spaces, temples, and grottos, with patches of embroidered, painted, and printed imagery stitched layer on layer. Cutting, sewing, balancing, placing, and replacing, Ms. Zerner also paints, dyes, and colors directly.

The Enchanted World Emporium is in the Parrish Mews next to Rowdy Hall.
