Avian Hijinks
The Leiber Collection in Springs will celebrate "Sweet: A Collaboration With Birds," an installation by Monica Banks on view in the museum's garden, on Saturday afternoon at 3:30.
The installation includes porcelain cakes, plates, and teacups that hold birdseed and water, installed on bistro tables where birds can swoop in to "feed, drink, socialize, and argue, creating a kind of performance piece," says Ms. Banks. Photographs and videos of the birds in action will also be on view.
The artist will talk about her fascination with birds with April Gornik, a bird lover as well as an artist, and Ann Fristoe Stewart, the Leiber Collection's director and curator.
Photos and Bikes
Jennifer Tripp and Mark Lubell, experts in the world of fine art photography and co-curators of current exhibition at The Church in Sag Harbor, "RE:CYCLE: The Ubiquitous Bike," will be there on Friday at 6 p.m. to lead a tour of their contribution to the show and discuss their lives and work.
Ms. Tripp is an independent curator and founder of Tripp Projects, where she organizes exhibitions and assists private and public collections with photography acquisitions. Mr. Lubell was the executive director of the International Center of Photography from 2013 to 2021, and the director of Magnum Photos from 2003 to 2011.
Tickets are $10, free for members with required registration.

Known for his portraiture, Mr. Andreesen will be showing works from his recent "Paper Crown" series, which depicts those who have had an impact on him over the years.
Mr. Elkins's paintings, pastels, drawings, and watercolors range from landscapes to seascapes to nautical images and architectural landmarks. The exhibition will focus on his series of landscapes of the Wainscott Pond.
An artists' talk will take place on Sunday at 3 p.m. The show will continue through Dec. 24.
