"New" Parrish Is 10
In celebration of its 10th anniversary in Water Mill, the Parrish Art Museum will host a conversation between Ascan Mergenthaler and Philip Schmerbeck of the Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron, which designed the building, and Hank Willis Thomas, an artist and co-curator of the museum's current exhibition "Another Justice: US Is Them -- Hank Willis Thomas | For Freedoms."
Set for Saturday afternoon at 3 on the museum's terrace, the discussion will be moderated by the museum's executive director, Monica Ramirez-Montagut, who holds a Ph.D. in architecture.
Mr. Mergenthaler is a senior partner at Herzog & de Meuron; Mr. Schmerbeck was the Water Mill building's project manager through its completion in 2012.
The discussion will explore the museum's design from the perspective of the architects as well as from the viewpoint of Mr. Thomas, as an artist exhibiting and organizing a show in the building.
Tickets are $12, free for members, and the program will also be available on the museum's YouTube channel at its start time. In the event of rain the event will take place in the theater.
Also at the museum, Alicia Longwell, its chief curator, will give noontime talks on the garden paintings of Joaquin Sorolla (next Thursday) and Esteban Vicente (Sept. 15), in connection with the exhibition "In the Light of the Garden."
Gottlieb at Pace
An exhibition of 11 monotypes from a group created by Adolph Gottlieb between summer 1973 and February 1974, shortly before his death, is opening on Thursday at the Pace Gallery in East Hampton. It will remain on view through Sept. 11.
Gottlieb began spending summers in East Hampton in 1958 and bought a property here two years later, forming a strong connection to the East End creative community in the later years of his career. Some of the works in the exhibition were made in his East Hampton studio.
"These works reflect Gottlieb’s long-standing investigations into the nuances of color and space," says the gallery.
Drawing Each Other
"Who Are You? Who Am I?", an in-the-moment drawing experience during which pairs of people will sit across from each other and draw, will happen on Sept. 10, starting at 11 a.m. at ArtSprings Studio, a studio and exhibition space in that hamlet run by Barbara Thomas.
Based on a workshop in mutual drawing developed by Ms. Thomas with the Parrish Art Museum, the experience encourages the exploration, via drawing, of what each person sees, through observation and communication. All supplies will be provided, and works will be displayed in the gallery space.
Tickets, available through a link at artspringstudio.com, are $25.
Visiting Artists
The J. Mackey Gallery periodically ventures outside its stable to present artists whose work is not usually shown on the East End. Its new show, on view through Sept. 10, includes work by six artists.
Helder Batista is a mixed-media artist from Bordeaux, France, while Linda Colletta is an abstract painter living in Bridgeport, Conn. The work of Miami-based Carolyn Mara encompasses video, performance art, conceptual photography, and painting. Fatima Shakil, who trained in Pakistan as a painter of miniatures, divides her time between Stony Brook and Charlotte, N.C. Alexandra Squire is an abstract painter from Bethesda, Md., while Los Angeles is home to the Haitian-American artist Ingrid Yuzly Mathurin.
Artistic Alchemy
"Multiple Choice," an exhibition of paintings by Elise Ansel and Suzannah Wainhouse and sculpture by Luke Kooper, will open at AB NY in East Hampton on Friday, with a reception from 4 to 7 p.m. It will run through Sept. 25.
Using an idiom of gestural abstraction, Ms. Ansel translates Old Master paintings into a contemporary abstract pictorial language. Ms. Wainhouse, a jewelry designer and painter, uses primordial shapes to convey ideas related to mysticism and alchemy. Mr. Kooper carves totemic sculptures that transform the rigidity of wood into gracefully articulated forms.
Artists' Insights
Louise Eastman and Laurie Lambrecht, both of whom are included in The Church in Sag Harbor's exhibition "Threading the Needle" (reviewed on C1), will be there on Sunday morning at 10:30 as part of the venue's Insight Sunday series.
Ms. Eastman uses six of her weavings as templates to create three monotype prints, which show the impressions of the stitches and textures of the original textiles.
For her piece, Ms. Lambrecht printed images of paintings by notable artists on fabric before cutting the linen into strips and weaving them into new patterns.
Tickets are $15.
A Female Gaze
"Out of Cheyenne," an exhibition of paintings by Chloe West, will open on Wednesday at Harper's Apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side, where it can be seen through Oct. 29.
Ms. West's paintings explore the nude female figure, sometimes adorned by animal bones collected on her hikes near Cheyenne, Wyo., and depicted in fragments, to avoid representing an identifiable character or narrative component.
She has said her work is influenced in part by Medieval and Renaissance European art; specifically, depictions of the nude and the symbolic objects of still life vanitas paintings, which are meant to remind viewers of their mortality.
In the Leiber Garden
"Four Artists in the Garden," a wine and cheese reception, will bring Philippe Cheng, Sabra Moon Elliot, Bastienne Schmidt, and Almond Zigmund to the garden of the Leiber Collection in Springs on Saturday at 4 p.m. The artists will discuss their works currently on view in the venue's "Garden of Friends" exhibition.
Admission is by donation.
Abstraction in Sag
"Abstract Expressions," a group exhibition, opens Thursday at the Ezra Gallery in Sag Harbor with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The show, which will be on view through Oct. 16, includes works by Casey Chalem Anderson, Dana Little Brown, Kimberly Goff, Jane Johnson, Asia Lee, Mark Seidenfeld, and Gabriele Vigorelli.
Collage Workshop
The artist Michael Albert will conduct free all-day drop-in collage workshops in the courtyard of the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor on Saturday and Sunday from 11 to 6. Materials, including cereal boxes and other printed cardboard packaging, will be provided. Mr. Albert will also be showing a selection of his collages.
Plein-Air Paintings
An exhibition of paintings by the Wednesday Group will open today at the Lucore Art in Montauk and continue through Sept. 20. The group of about 20 painters, formed in 2000 by Frank Sofo and Gene Samuelson, meets once a week to paint outdoors on the East End.
A reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m.
This article has been changed from its original and print versions to correct the starting time of "Who Are You? Who Am I?" The event starts at 11 a.m.
