Join us for a conversation with artists Jeremy Dennis, Sam Moyer, Enoc Perez, and others, moderated by Corinne Erni, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education, in conjunction with Artists Choose Parrish: Part I – the Museum’s 125th anniversary exhibition currently on view. The landmark exhibition honors the East End’s rich artistic legacy and brings greater attention to major artists practicing here today. Forty-one renowned artists with deep local roots were invited to select works from the collection to be shown along with their own, offering new perspectives and interpretations of the Parrish’s permanent collection.
Shinnecock Nation member Jeremy Dennis juxtaposes his version of the desecrated indigenous burial grounds in Southampton with a painting by William Merritt Chase. While the latter’s Shinnecock Landscape, 1894, was devoid of any Shinnecock people, Dennis’s photograph The Sacredness of Hills, presents an indigenous woman in traditional dress, looming large over a pristine landscape to affirm the continued presence of indigenous people.
Sam Moyer selected works by artist Lynda Benglis, whom she credits not only for having a direct and lasting impact on her work, but for introducing her to the North Fork of Long Island—a place that has inspired Moyer for years. Three works by Benglis—a papier collé, monoprint, and mixed medium sculpture—are shown with Moyer’s work in various media including black slate, marble, and plaster-coated canvas.
Enoc Perez connected Hans Hofmann’s Image in Green, 1950, with his abstract yet realistic work Dorado Beach Hotel, Puerto Rico, 2023—describing both as full of promise.
The Artists Choose Parrish exhibition is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous support of the Estate of Mildred C. Brinn; Bank of America; Stephen Meringoff in honor of Robin and Fred Seegal; Robert Lehman Foundation; Sandy and Stephen Perlbinder; Agnes Gund in honor of Dorothy Lichtenstein; Jennifer and Sean Cohan; Susan and Timothy Davis; Alexandra Stanton and Sam Natapoff; Fern and Lenard Tessler; Jacqueline Brody; The Evelyn Toll Family Foundation; Martha McLanahan; Herman Goldman Foundation; Carole Server and Oliver Frankel; Fred Schmeltzer; and Scott and Margot Ziegler.
The Parrish Art Museum’s programs are made possible, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, and by the property taxpayers from the Southampton School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District. Public Funding provided by Suffolk County.
Friday Nights are made possible, in part by The Corcoran Group.
