The Art Scene 11.24.16
Southampton Collective
The Tripoli Gallery in Southampton will present “Year-Round,” its 12th annual Thanksgiving Collective exhibition, from Saturday, with an opening reception from 5 to 8 p.m., through Jan. 30. The show serves as a platform for engagement with the local art scene, introducing new artists to the gallery alongside those who have shown there in the past.
This year’s exhibition will include work by Alice Aycock, Max Blagg, Jennifer Cross, Robert Dash, Sabra Moon Elliot, Eric Freeman, Saskia Friedrich, Jeremy Grosvenor, Judith Hudson, Keith Sonnier, Susan Tepper, and Lucy Winton.
Subversive Undertones
“November’s Bone,” a group exhibition of work by 16 artists, is on view at the Halsey Mckay Gallery in East Hampton through Jan. 16. The work in the show is informed by the history of social and political unrest from early empires to the present.
According to the gallery, “This group applies a kind of sleight of hand, with virtuosic craft, aesthetic sheen, beauty, and formal presentation, employed to mask more subversive undertones.” The show includes painting, sculpture, video, and photographic works.
Holiday Invitational in Sag
“A snowstorm of local artists” will fall at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor tomorrow and remain there through Jan. 15. A reception for the “Small Artworks Holiday Invitational” will take place Saturday afternoon from 3 to 6.
Among the approximately 40 artists whose work will be on view are Christopher Engel, Patricia Feiwel, Barbara Groot, Ruby Jackson, Elisca Jeansonne, Adrienne Kitaeff, Peter Lipman-Wulf, Bob Rothstein, and Christina Schlesinger.
Celebrating the Arts
Ille Arts opens its annual holiday show tomorrow, with a party set for Saturday from 5 p.m. to “whenever.” The Amagansett gallery’s open invitation calls for holiday cheer and support for the arts and the freedom of expression they stand for.
The exhibition, which will continue through Jan. 2, features small works by more than 60 artists, among them Don Christensen, Dennis Leri, Steve Keister, Joe Pintauro, Bonnie Rychlak, Mary Ellen Bartley, Elaine Grove, Rudolph Serra, Mary Heilmann, and Roisin Bateman.
