On the New MoMA
The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center’s annual John H. Marburger Memorial Lecture will feature Ann Temkin, the Museum of Modern Art’s chief curator of painting and sculpture, on “Re-Thinking Modern Art: A Preview of the Museum’s New Collection Galleries.” The free talk will take place Sunday at 3 p.m. at Guild Hall.

Claude Lawrence at Keyes
An exhibition of paintings by Claude Lawrence will open at Keyes Gallery in Sag Harbor with a reception tomorrow from 6 to 8 p.m. and remain on view through Aug. 8. A jazz musician for more than 25 years, Mr. Lawrence did not become a full-time painter until 1987.
Self-taught, he developed his style by visiting galleries and museums and studying art books, and has cited as influences Picasso and Basquiat. Despite figurative elements, his colorful paintings are primarily abstract, and many have the jagged energy of improvisational jazz.

Studio 11 in East Hampton’s Red Horse Plaza will open a solo exhibition of recent paintings by Eugene Brodsky with a reception Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. The show will run through Sept. 2.
Mr. Brodsky moves freely among mediums, having created accordion books, collages executed in ink on silk and burnished paper, and paintings, which themselves range from muted abstraction to boldly colored compositions with the occasional word or recognizable image.

Ms. Strong-Cuevas’s work ranges from fabricated metal to cast bronze and stainless steel. She is best known for her monumental heads, including her double profiles, which have a slightly primitive yet polished quality.
Environmental Art
Moved 10 years ago by the amount of plastic detritus she encountered on a North Fork beach, Cindy Pease Roe began making art from marine debris as a way to call attention to the defilement of the natural world. The paintings and sculpture in “Plankton Not Plastic,” an exhibition that will open tomorrow at the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., celebrate the luminous beauty of small and microscopic water-borne organisms. The show will continue through Aug. 4.
Two at Markel
Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in Bridgehampton will present new work by Stanley Bielen and Ryan Sarah Murphy from tomorrow through Aug. 5. Mr. Bielen’s landscape paintings and still lifes are loose, brushy interpretations of the subject matter rather than attempts at photographic realism.
Ms. Murphy makes wall reliefs with found materials such as cardboard or hardback book covers, removing any text or logos in order to focus on the
Father and Son at Kramoris
“Searchers and Messengers,” which will open today at Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor, features paintings by Franklin Engel and Christopher Engel, his son. A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Franklin’s “Searchers” series consists of abstract paintings on aged wooden planes on which ceramic, wood, and stones are collaged along with hidden texts, symbols, and gestures reminiscent of cave paintings.
In Christopher’s “Messengers” series, symbols, text, and collaged images surround figures that take the shape of angels, prophets, monks, shamans, and other spiritual entities.
Perspective on Art
Three perspectives on the contemporary art world will be offered at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill during the coming week in talks by the artists Eric Fischl and David Salle and Michael Shnayerson, a writer.
On Sunday at noon, Mr. Fischl will discuss his fascination with the paintings of Fairfield Porter during a gallery tour of “Fairfield Porter Raw: The Creative Process of an American Master.”
Mr. Shnayerson and Terrie Sultan, the museum’s director, will talk about his new book “BOOM: Mad Money, Mega Dealers, and the Rise of Contemporary Art” next Thursday at 5 p.m. A book signing will follow.

Female Heroes
A solo exhibition of work by Joe Chierchio will be on view at Arthur T. Kalaher Fine Art in Southampton from tomorrow through Aug. 5, with a reception set for Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. Mr. Chiercio will show work from two series, “Bodies of Work” and “Female Heroes,” both of which depict strong, confident women.
