SUMMARY:Alicia Longwell in Conversation with Painter Lucien Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join Chief Curator Alicia Longwell and abstract painter Lucien Smith\, whose 10 large-scale paintings from his 2013 Southampton Suite are currently on view\, in the Lichtenstein Theater for an illustrated talk\, which will also be live-streamed online. Seating in the theater is limited with socially distanced seating. Registration is required. \nLucien Smith (b.1989) is best known for his process-based works that employ both accidental and improvisational marks to create loose\, all-over compositions. Organized by Alicia Longwell\, Lucien Smith: Southampton Suite brings the artist’s Rain Paintings series to conclusion with the 10 large-scale paintings created in a plein air studio that he constructed on the East End during the summer of 2013. With the 9 x 7 ft acrylic on unprimed canvas Southampton Suite paintings\, the artist created an immersive environment that continues his quest to “. . .replicate a natural process with manmade tools.” The ten works on view here from 2013 have never been shown as a group. \nSmith’s paintings\, made by filling an empty fire extinguisher with paint and spraying the canvas\, became widely known soon after his 2011 graduation from Cooper Union. What appealed to Smith was the way he was able to replicate a natural process—rain—with a manmade tool. For the first Rain Paintings series\, Murmur of the Heart\, he used blue and yellow paint; after this initial investigations he began to use a monochromatic approach\, taking a cue from the traditional depiction of rain in Japanese woodblock prints. \nAdvance ticket purchase with pre-event registration is required.\nAll tickets are sold pre-event and online only. No sales at the door. All sales are final\, non-transferable\, and non-refundable.\nThe event takes place in the Lichtenstein Theater with limited\, socially distanced seating.\nYou must wear a mask throughout the entire program. \nRestrooms will be open during the event. Hand sanitizer and wipes will be available. The Parrish is being regularly disinfected for the safety of our staff and visitors.\n  \n  \nFriday Nights at the Parrish are made possible\, in part\, by Presenting Sponsor:Additional support provided by Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder.

SUMMARY:Alicia Longwell in Conversation with Jaume Plensa
DESCRIPTION:International artist Jaume Plensa discusses his poignant public art works with Chief Curator Alicia Longwell in an online live-stream. The never-before-seen sculpture\, on view in the Parrish Art Museum’s outdoor exhibition Field of Dreams\, evokes silence and stillness in a complex world.\n\nSculptor Jaume Plensa (Spanish\, born 1955) will discuss his four bronze portraits—making their international debut in Field of Dreams at the Parrish Art Museum—with Alicia G. Longwell\, Ph.D.\, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator. In Carlota (oak)\, Julia (oak)\, Laura Asia (oak)\, and Wilsis (oak)\, 2019—totemic portraits originally carved from oak that stand over nine feet tall—Plensa captures a moment of quiet reflection\, evoking silence and stillness in a bustling world. The artist explores the connection between humanity and nature in his work. For 35 years\, Plensa has produced a multifaceted body of work creating sculpture that speaks to the capacity and beauty of humanity\, often bringing people together through the activation of public spaces \nArriving at the Museum directly from Plensa’s studio in Barcelona\, the four sculptures explore the idea of memory and the passage of time. “Every time I do a portrait\, soon after\, the model no longer exists\,” Plensa states. The artist captures his female sitters with their eyes closed in a moment of quiet reflection\, a concept central in his practice. The works are the first in a new series of portraits carved directly into tree trunks\, with the trunks remaining part of the sculpture in the subsequent casting in bronze. The innate connection between humanity and nature resonates deeply in this body of work: the wood acts as both the medium and the subject of the sculpture itself while the irregular surfaces and scattered splinters and cracks in the wood are captured in bronze. \nAbout Jaume Plensa\nJaume Plensa (b.1955) is one of the world’s foremost sculptors in the public realm with projects worldwide in Calgary\, Chicago\, San Diego\, Montréal\, London\, Paris\, Dubai\, Bangkok\, Shanghai\, and Tokyo. Most recently\, installations of his monumental sculptures in the public realm include Behind the Walls at historic Rockefeller Center in New York City and the Museo Nacional de Arte in Mexico City\, Julia in Plaza de Colón in Madrid\, and Voices permanently installed at 30 Hudson Yards in New York City. \nPlensa has had solo museum exhibitions at the MACBA: Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona\, Spain; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía\, Madrid Spain; MAMC–Musée d’art moderne et contemporain Saint-Étienne Métropole\, Saint-Étienne\, France; Max Ernst Museum Brühl des LVR\, Brühl\, Germany; The Toledo Museum of Art\, Toledo\, Ohio; Yorkshire Sculpture Park\, Yorkshire\, England; and Nasher Sculpture Center\, Dallas\, Texas. International awards include the Honorary Doctorate from Univeristat Aut’onoma de Barcelona in 2018; 2013 Velazquez Prize awarded by the Spanish Cultural Ministry. He lives and works in Barcelona. \n\n  \n  \nFriday Nights at the Parrish are made possible\, in part\, by Presenting Sponsor:Additional support provided by Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder.

SUMMARY:ROAD SHOW: MEET THE ARTIST & EXPLORE THE BONAC BLIND
DESCRIPTION:Please contact Scott Bluedorn at scottbluedorn@gmail.com for an appointment to visit the Bonac Blind.\nPARRISH ROAD SHOW 2020\nSCOTT BLUEDORN: BONAC BLIND\nOctober 18-24\, 2020\nLanding Lane\, Springs\, East Hampton (off Old Stone Highway)\nAdditional visits onto the Bonac Blind are by appointment only\, please contact Scott Bluedorn at scottbluedorn@gmail.com\nParrish Road Show artist Scott Bluedorn presents the Bonac Blind\, a floating\, mostly handmade dwelling constructed from a repurposed duck blind structure. According to Bluedorn\, who participated in the Museum’s 2019 Artists Choose Artists exhibition\, “The Bonac Blind is a multi-faceted art intervention: A floating\, off-grid microhome that references traditional Bonac culture of fishing\, farming and hunting while also serving as a comment on the erosion of this culture due to the compound problems of housing crisis\, climate change\, and modernity.” \nConstructed from a repurposed\, plywood duck blind and covered in native reed\, the Bonac Blind features industrial barrels\, resin windows\, and a geodesic dome. It will be fully functional and decorated with original artwork\, and also references the current trend of tiny homes that are sustainable\, resilient\, and adaptive. For Bluedorn\, the name is a double entendre\, obviously referring to duck blind used during waterfowl season. But the title also points to the area’s current population\, largely blind to Bonac culture and the many problems it faces. Bluedorn’s intention is to raise awareness to the drastic shortage of affordable housing in the Hamptons that has effected a mass exodus of working-class people\, particularly in the generations of East Hampton families known as Bonackers or Bubs\, who is increasingly leaving the area for more affordable regions\, taking with them character\, history\, culture\, and tradition. \nParrish Road Show 2020: Scott Bluedorn—Bonac Blind is organized by Corinne Erni\, Senior Curator of ArtsReach and Special Projects. \nParrish Road Show: Scott Bluedorn—Bonac Blind is made possible\, in part\, by the generous support of Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder\, and Jane Wesman and Donald Savelson. Public funding provided by Suffolk County. The Museum’s exhibitions and programs are made possible\, in part\, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, and the property taxpayers from the Southampton Union Free School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District. \nAbout Scott Bluedorn\nArtist\, illustrator\, and designer Scott Bluedorn (b. 1986) works in various media\, including painting\, drawing\, print process\, collage and found object assemblage. Drawing inspiration from cultural anthropology\, primitivism\, and nautical tradition\, Bluedorn distills imagery that speaks to the collective unconscious\, especially through myth and visual story-telling—a world he conjures as “maritime cosmology.” Bluedorn received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts\, New York.

SUMMARY:Film and Talk: Aggie
DESCRIPTION:The second screening will be followed by a pre-recorded conversation with Agnes Gund\, Catherine Gund\, and Maria Hinojosa\, anchor and executive producer of Latino USA on National Public Radio. \n\n$20 | $10 Parrish Members\nFree for Students and Children\n \n \nThe conversation with Agnes Gund\, Catherine Gund\, and Dorothy Lichtenstein\, moderated by Senior Curator Corinne Erni\, will be recorded and available for streaming after the screening.\n2020\, Documentary\, 92 minutes\nDirector: Catherine Gund\nThis in-person event only will take place in the Lichtenstein Theater. Aggie is a feature-length documentary that explores the nexus of art\, race\, and justice through the story of art collector and philanthropist Agnes “Aggie” Gund’s life. Emmy-nominated director Catherine Gund focuses on her mother’s journey to give viewers an understanding of the power of art to transform consciousness and inspire social change. Aggie is internationally recognized for her robust and prescient support of artists–particularly women and people of color–and her unwavering commitment to social justice issues. After falling in love with art as a high-school student\, Aggie discovers a new way of looking at the world. The film opens with Aggie selling Roy Lichtenstein’s “Masterpiece” for $165 million to start the Art for Justice Fund. The proceeds from one of the highest grossing artworks ever sold fuel a monumental effort to reform the American criminal justice system and end mass incarceration. The film captures Aggie as a true maverick who demonstrates the unique role and potential of collectors and benefactors to use art to fight justice. This is untapped terrain\, and we see Aggie leading the way. \nCatherine Gund\, Director/Producer\nFounder of Aubin Pictures\, Gund is an Emmy-nominated producer\, director\, writer\, and activist.

SUMMARY:LIVE-STREAM TALK: Alicia Longwell and Karin Roffman Discuss Artist Fairfield Porter and Poet John Ashbery
DESCRIPTION:Join Alicia G. Longwell\, Ph.D.\, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator\, in an illustrated live-stream talk related to the exhibition HOUSEBOUND: Fairfield Porter and his Circle of Poets and Painters\, with Karin Roffman\, author of a biography of poet John Ashbery who was a close friend of Porter’s and frequent guest at the artist’s Southampton home.\n \nThe conversation focuses on the many painters and poets who visited Porter and his wife from the 1950s through the ‘70s\, and the ways that domestic surroundings can both nurture and reflect artistic choices. Roffman’s deep knowledge of Ashbery’s life and work\, including his enduring friendship with Porter\, will be the focus of this illuminating talk. \nPorter (American\, 1907–1975)\, the poet Anne Porter\, and their children moved in 1949 from New York to a rambling 19th-c. captain’s house in Southampton Village. For decades following\, the couple’s friends gravitated there for a weekend or an extended stay\, chronicling their social mores and shared sensibilities in words and paint. Ashbery was a frequent visitor\, along with fellow poets Kenneth Koch\, Frank O’Hara\, and James Schuyler; as well as painters including Robert Dash\, Jane Freilicher\, Alex Katz\, Larry Rivers\, and Jane Wilson. Roffman’s book\, The Songs We Know Best: John Ashbery’s Early Life\, reveals how Ashbery’s poetry arose in part\, from those lifelong friendships with Porter and others who congregated at his home\, notably Freilicher\, O’Hara\, Koch\, and Schuyler. The exhibition at the Parrish reveals the reciprocity of inspiration: Ashbery’s typed manuscript of his poem Pyrography is the surface for Rivers’s drawing of the poet at the typewriter. \nHOUSEBOUND: FAIRFIELD PORTER AND HIS CIRCLE OF POETS AND PAINTERS\nHousebound presents paintings and poems that bring in sharp focus the many connections between the works and the artists who created them. Nearly 40 paintings by Porter\, Robert Dash\, Jane Freilicher\, Alex Katz\, and Larry Rivers will be on view. Poems by Anne Porter and New York School poets John Ashbery\, Barbara Guest\, Kenneth Koch\, Frank O’Hara\, and James Schuyler are accessible from SQR codes on the labels of specific works. Paintings by Porter from the late 1940s and ’50s such as Anne Reading to Laurence\, 1947\, show intimate scenes in the Porter household\, while others illustrate direct inspiration of one artist to another\, such as Sketch for a Portrait of Jimmy Schuyler\, 1962 \, and Jane and Elizabeth\, 1967\, depicting Freilicher and her young daughter. Portraits by artists inspired by their writer friends include Rivers’s lithograph\, Untitled (John Ashbery)\, 1984\, and Alex Katz\, Untitled (Portrait of Kenneth Koch)\, c 1970. \nAbout Karin Roffman\nKarin Roffman has published essays on John Ashbery and 20th – and 21st– century writers and artists in Raritan\, Modern Fiction Studies\, Artforum\, Rain Taxi\, Yale Review and others.  Her first book\, From the Modernist Annex: American Women Writers in Museums and Libraries (2010) won the University of Alabama Press’s American Literature Elizabeth Agee Manuscript Prize. She is currently a Senior Lecturer in Humanities\, English and American Studies at Yale University\, where she is creating\, John Ashbery’s Nest\, a website and virtual tour of Ashbery’s Hudson house in collaboration with Monica Ong Reed and the Yale Digital Humanities Lab. Roffman has previously taught at West Point and Bard College. \nFriday Nights at the Parrish are made possible\, in part\, by Presenting Sponsor:Additional support provided by Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder.
