Nature Reimagined
"Nursery," an exhibition of sculpture and photographs by Nina Katchadourian, is at the Pace Gallery in East Hampton through Sunday. It is the final show of the gallery's third summer season here.
For the sculpture in her "Fake Plants" project, the artist transformed discarded materials such as cardboard boxes, disposable medical masks, ping pong balls, and toilet paper tubes into plant forms from some imagined landscape.
Ms. Katchadourian's "Artificial Insemination" photographs deliberately misinterpret and restage the iconic scientific image of a sperm fertilizing an egg. In her images, tadpoles taken from a pond and a chicken's egg are placed in water on a dinner plate.
Three at Watermill
In Process at the Watermill Center will provide an opportunity on Friday evening between 5:30 and 7:00 to see what the center's three current resident artists, Joyce Ho, Hank Willis Thomas, and Ogemdi Ude, are up to.
In her work across mediums ranging from painting and video to installation, Ms. Ho focuses on the intimate yet alienating tensions between people and reality.
Mr. Thomas, whose work is currently on view at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, works with themes of perspective, identity, commodity, media, and popular culture.
Ms. Ide is a Nigerian-American dance artist whose performances aim to engage with Black history as a means to imagine Black futures.
Free registration on the center's website has been requested.
Watercolor at Ashawagh
"Watercolor +," a show of work by local watercolor artists, will be at Ashawagh Hall in Springs from Friday through Sunday, with a reception set for Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.
Participating artists are Kirsten Benfield, Nancy Brody, Barbara Dilorenzo, Laurie Hall, Beth Meredith, Lesley Obrock, Janet Rojas, Jerry Schwabe, and Carol Sigler.
The exhibition includes watercolors, pastels, prints, and acrylics, with an emphasis on landscapes and abstractions. Gallery hours are tomorrow from 3 to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 to 8, and Sunday from 11 to 4.
A Sense of Place
"Demarcation," a collection of paintings by Andrew Wapinski on linen-mounted panels, will open Friday at the Mark Borghi Gallery in Sag Harbor and continue through Oct. 6.
Mr. Wapinski, who grew up in a Pennsylvania coal-mining town, is concerned with the dynamic between natural and manmade processes. The surfaces of his canvases are created with hand-ground anthracite coal and melting blocks of pigmented ice, as well as acrylic and ink. The artist's manipulation of natural materials and processes reflects the reshaping of the coal region's landscape by human intercession.
A reception will be held Saturday from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Four Painters at Grenning
"Indian Summer," an exhibition of paintings by Marc Dalessio, Melissa Franklin Sanchez, John Morfis, and Tina Orsolic, is at the Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor through Oct. 10.
Mr. Dalessio and Ms. Orsolic visited the East End during the summer, where he painted seascapes in Springs, East Hampton, and Sag Harbor. Ms. Orsolic is represented by plein-air landscapes, still lifes, and some figurative works painted outdoors.
Ms. Sanchez's work offers a look into her home life outside of Florence, Italy, with interiors, landscapes, and paintings of her young children. Mr. Morfis shows acutely observed tromp l'oeil paintings of single objects, among them a buoy, a canoe paddle, and a cap pistol.
Eleven at Colm Rowan
"The Fall Gallery Show" is at Colm Rowan Fine Art in East Hampton through Oct. 2. Participating artists are Sandra Caplan, Angela China, Ben Georgia, Jonathan Nash Glynn, Irina Gorbman, Chris Kelly, Gerry McGourty, Ken Miller, Bret Reilly, Mym Tuma, and R. Michael Wommack.
Surf and Foliage
"Surf Cowgirl and the Sea of Flowers," a show of paintings by John Tuttle and Sophia Louise, will open Thursday at the Lucore Art in Montauk and continue through Oct. 11. A reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. The exhibition will feature Ms. Louise's style of western coastal fusion and Mr. Tuttle's new floral abstractions.
