OFF-SITE: PARRISH ROAD SHOW OPENING Laurie Lambrecht: Limn to Limb
October 5, 2019, 3 pm - 5 pm
Opening Reception | Free and Open to the Public
The Madoo Conservancy
618 Sagg Main Street, Sagaponack, NY 11962
Now in its eighth year, the Parrish Road Show is the Museum’s annual creative off-site cultural engagement program. Every year, East End artists are invited to create new work for temporary projects and engage residents in their process. In an effort to deeply connect art and creativity to everyday life, the exhibitions take place at public sites across the region—cultural and historical organizations, public parks and highways, and community centers—and the artists offer public talks and artmaking workshops for children and adults.
For Parrish Road Show 2019, Laurie Lambrecht will present Limn to Limb, a site-specific installation at The Madoo Conservancy, where she will respond to Madoo’s trees, shrubs, and structural details that are typically painted in bright colors with interventions that include photography, printmaking, weaving, and knitting. She will create large-scale fiber prints of tree bark, hand-knitted covers for stones, rocks, and trees, and weavings made of cut-up fabric prints from photographs of the gardens.
The exploration and observation of the nuances of bark has long been the impetus for Lambrecht’s creation of prints and fiber pieces. As a continuation of a project Lambrecht began last fall on Hardanger Fjord’s edge in Norway, she will be covering stones and rocks with colorful knitted wool to exalt the small and sometimes overlooked and prompts the viewer to rediscover these humble garden elements. The soft covers challenge the perception of the very qualities of a stone, thus enhancing the visual and tactic experiences that contribute to memory of place.
Works by both 2019 Road Show artists, Candace Hill Montgomery and Laurie Lambrecht, will be on view at the Parrish Art Museum through November 3, 2019.
Parrish Road Show is organized by Corinne Erni, Senior Curator of ArtsReach and Special Projects
Parrish Road Show 2019 is made possible, in part, by the generous support of The Dorothy Lichtenstein ArtsReach Fund, established by Agnes Gund; Deborah Buck; Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder; Jane Wesman and Donald Savelson; Leslie Rose Close; and Joni Sternbach.
