Hamada at Duck Creek
The Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs will open an exhibition of paintings by Hiroyuki Hamada with a reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. The show will continue through June 23.
The paintings, many of which are black and white, feature inscrutable, abstract forms deployed in compositions that suggest imaginary landscapes or still lifes. The work makes visible his interest in creating art “that remains mysterious and elusive.” Mr. Hamada, who lives in East Hampton, will discuss his work on June 22 at 3:30 p.m.
Drawing Room Sculpture
Recent alabaster sculpture by Aya Miyatake will be on view at the Drawing Room in East Hampton from tomorrow through June 30. Born in Japan, Ms. Miyatake studied stone carving after moving to the United States and discovered an affinity for the time-consuming process. In her new work she “seeks to reveal movement, explore the color, and release the light within the ultimate form she gives each alabaster,” according to the gallery.
“Divine Intervention”
“Divine Intervention,” an exhibition of installations, paintings, photography, sculpture, and books by 34 artists from the East End and New York City, will open on Saturday at Christ Episcopal Church in Sag Harbor with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. and remain on view through Sept. 2.
Organized by Teri Hackett, an artist herself, the exhibition will make use of the architecture of the church, including the altar, corners, niches, arches, and pews. Fifty percent of all sales of artwork will benefit the Community Cafe, which serves those in the Sag Harbor area who are lonely or hungry.

The East End Photographers Group will hold its 31st spring exhibition on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. A reception will take place on Saturday from 5 to 8.

Jeremy Dennis Talk
Jeremy Dennis will give a gallery talk on “Thomas Joshua Cooper: Refuge” tomorrow evening at 6 at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill. Mr. Dennis, an artist and member of the Shinnecock Nation, will reflect on Mr. Cooper’s photographs, which capture East End history, migration, and settlement at sites ranging from Conscience Point to the Shinnecock Reservation.
Wimberley in Chelsea
A solo show of work by Frank Wimberley will open today at the Berry Campbell Gallery in Chelsea with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and continue through July 3. Known since the 1960s for his dynamic, multilayered abstract paintings, Mr. Wimberley, who lives in Sag Harbor, takes the theme of each painting from the first stroke he lays down and follows it to its conclusion, not unlike improvisation in jazz.
Prince as Curator
Richard Prince is one of six artists invited by the Guggenheim Museum as a guest curator for “Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection.” On view through Jan. 12, it is the first artist-curated exhibition ever mounted at the museum.
Mr. Prince, who has a house in East Hampton, selected works from the museum’s holdings of abstract painting and sculpture from the 1940s and 1950s by Marcel Barré, Conrad Marca-Relli, and Georges Mathieu, among others.
