Tripoli's Collective
The 19th annual Thanksgiving Collective of the Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott will open Saturday with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. and continue through Feb. 26. Titled "The Side Door to Glory and Oblivion," it brings together works by artists who conceptually "honor the passing from one realm to another, whether spiritual, emotional, physical, or psychological," according to the gallery.
Participating artists include Katherine Bernhardt, Mark Cora-Mooroom Bungaree, Otis Hope Carey, Sue Carlson, Sally Egbert, Sabra Moon Elliot, Connie Fox, Felix Bonilla Gerena, Mary Heilmann, Judith Hudson, Bryan Hunt, Lee Jaffe, Yung Jake, Benjamin Keating, Laith McGregor, Angelbert Metoyer, Miles Partington, Esther Ruiz, Lauren West, Jerry Wilkerson, and Lucy Winton.
Harrison on "Pollock"
A screening of "Pollock," the 2000 film directed by and starring Ed Harris in the title role, will be introduced by Helen Harrison, director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, when it is shown at the Southampton Arts Center on Saturday at 2 p.m. Ms. Harrison will provide insights into the life and art of Jackson Pollock.
Mr. Harris received an Academy Award nomination for best actor, and Marcia Gay Harden took home the best supporting actress Oscar for her portrayal of Lee Krasner.
Tickets are $10, free for members.
Benefit at Borghi
The Mark Borghi Gallery in Sag Harbor will hold a private viewing of its current exhibition, "3 Women Choose," as a benefit for Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. The suggested donation is $100.
The exhibition features work by three abstract painters. Paula DeLuccia's surfaces are vibrant with swirling, thickly applied areas of color. Lauren Olitski challenges the conventional rectangular frame by adding pieces to create irregularly shaped canvases. Ann Walsh's focus is on creating freestanding and three-dimensional paintings consisting of bands of saturated, high-key color.
Margaret Garrett Solo
"The Still Point," a show of new paintings and works on paper by Margaret Garrett, will open next Thursday at the Planthouse Gallery in Manhattan with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Garrett, an interdisciplinary artist who lives on Shelter Island, danced with the Pennsylvania and Cleveland Ballet companies before discovering painting in her early 20s. The works on view continue her approach to movement and music, translating the arts into two-dimensional abstract compositions.
"I see the paper or canvas as an empty stage and the line as movement: texture, form, the way that colors interact are all different manifestations of motion and energy," she has said.
The exhibition will continue through Jan. 13.
Elsewhere
"Matter Over Mind," a group show at Gambit Works in Manhattan, includes works by the East Enders Isadora Capraro, James Croak, Lautaro Cuttica, Oscar Jackman, Paton Miller, and Kerry Sharkey-Miller. It will be on view through Dec. 12.
A discussion about art and artists set for Wednesday, at 6 p.m. at 220 East 20 Street in Manhattan, will include the East End artists Pamela Dove, Kurt Giehl, Melinda Hackett, Beth O'Donnell, Louis Venturelli, and Amy Wickersham. Registration is at mackaydixon.com/rsvp-today.
