Artists as Curators
In conjunction with "Artists Choose Parrish, Part II," the Parrish Art Museum's three-part exhibition pairing contemporary artists with works from its collection, the exhibition's curator, Corinne Erni, will moderate a panel discussion with the exhibiting artists Sheree Hovsepian and Alix Pearlstein on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Tickets are $16, $12 for senior citizens, $5 for members, free for students and children.
Hand-Carved Sculpture
"A Weekend in the Woods," an exhibition of sculpture by Sally Richardson, will be at Fort Pond House, 128 Second House Road, Montauk, Friday through Sunday, daily from noon to 7.
Ms. Richardson, who grew up in a small English fishing village, has been carving wood and stone sculptures for 30 years. Her carvings of human and plant-like forms reflect her deep-rooted connection to maritime environments.
Based in Montauk for the past 20 years, she carves in wood and stone, using only hand tools (mallets, chisels, and rasps). She works with limestone, Carrara marble, local wood, and Totara, a native wood of New Zealand.
Open Studios in Springs
Seven Springs artists will open their studios on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They are Liz Engelhardt, Denise Gale, John Haubrich, Christa Maiwald, Barry McCallion, George Negroponte, and Mark Perry.
Studio maps are available from [email protected] or [email protected]. The map will serve as a ticket to the studios.
Photography and Ceramics
Keyes Art in Sag Harbor will open "Bloom," an exhibition of photographs by Bert Stern and ceramics by Hilary Helfant, with a reception on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.
One of America's most influential photographers, Stern was known in part for his portraits of such celebrities as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando, and Ray Charles. His 50-year career spanned editorial features, magazine covers, films, and advertisements.
Ms. Helfant's ceramic pieces explore patterns and layers in natural forms, not by replicating nature but by developing organically on their own. Using a spherical shape as a starting point, she adds radiating spikes that create a larger implied sphere.
The exhibition will continue through Sept. 29.
April Gornik in Chelsea
"The Other Side," a show of paintings by April Gornik, will open next Thursday at the Miles McEnery Gallery in Chelsea and continue through Oct. 21.
Over the course of her career, Ms. Gornik has been unwavering in her focus on the sky, the earth, the horizon, and her experience of their intersection, says the gallery, adding that she draws from memory, dreams, and photographs, joining the real and the imagined.
As Annie Godfrey Larmon says in the exhibition's catalog essay, "When she paints the glint of sun on water, she translates a feeling stored in memory about the sun hitting water, about being within and of the environment."
Photojournalism in Sag
"Chuck's Eye," an exhibition of photographs by Chuck Fishman, an award-winning photojournalist whose work has appeared on the covers of Time, Life, Fortune, Newsweek, and many other publications, will open on Sunday at the Ezra Gallery, at the Center for Jewish Life in Sag Harbor, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.
The show includes photographs of Polish Jewry under communism, taken there during the 1970s; images of a Farbrengen-Chassidic gathering with the Lubavitcher Rebbe in Brooklyn, and shots of various notables and dignitaries.
Organized by Jeroen Bours of the Darling Agency in New York City, the exhibition will continue through Nov. 5.
Reflections of Nature
"Angle of Repose," a show of abstract paintings by Anne Raymond and Chris Kelly, opens Thursday at the Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk and will remain on view through Sept. 19.
Nature, specifically the horizon, serves as inspiration for Mr. Raymond's work, which features multiple configurations of horizontal color transitions that blend and shift. While the colors and horizontal elements of Mr. Kelly's paintings resonate with those of Ms. Raymond, his hard-edged geometrical forms are drawn from the golden ratio, a mathematical relationship.
A reception will take place Sept. 9 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Labor Day Show
The Southampton Artists Association's annual Labor Day exhibition is at the Southampton Cultural Center through Sept. 10. A reception will be held on Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m.
