The Montauk Library will be a virtual concert hall during the coming week, with three music programs, each with a different point of view. On Saturday evening at 7:30, Alexander Wu and the Serendip Piano Trio will present “A JFK Centennial, Return to Camelot: Music From the Kennedy White House Concerts, 1961-1963.” The program will include compositions by Mendelssohn, Copland, Gershwin, Casals, Chopin, Brubeck, Bernstein, and others.

On Sunday afternoon at 3, Ellen Johansen and Marlene Markard will present “Piano Works for Four Hands.” Both women operate eponymous music studios that offer private and group piano lessons and early childhood classes as part of the Musikgarten curriculum. They will perform works by Beethoven, Schubert, Corigliano, and Fauré.

The pace will change Wednesday evening at 7:30 when the Pat DeRosa Ensemble will perform a program of jazz and dance band standards. The set list will include “You Stepped Out of a Dream,” “Embraceable You,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “As Time Goes By,” and other classics. The ensemble consists of Pat DeRosa, saxophone, Patricia DeRosa Padden, piano and vocals, Nicole DeRosa Padden, flute and vocals, and Bob Beck on drums.

All three programs are free and open to the public.

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will present the world premiere of a mixed-media theatrical adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s novel “Galapagos,” with performances scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and next Thursday at 6 p.m. and on Friday, July 25, at 4 p.m., in the Lichtenstein Theater.

Created by Tucker Marder and Christian Scheider, both East End natives, the production features 26 performers, including Bob Balaban, live orchestral underscoring, elaborate animal costumes, a two-story set, experimental projections, choreography, and physical comedy. Tickets, at $20 or $10 for members and students, include admission to the museum.

Performance of a different kind will take place tomorrow at 6 p.m. with the second iteration at the Parrish of Gesture Jam, an adult figure-drawing class facilitated by Andrea Cote, an artist and educator.

The class, which will take place on the museum’s terrace, will feature live music by Nicolas Letman-Burtanovic and Sean Sonderegger. Adam and Gail Baranello, local dancers, will be the models. With food and drinks available from the Golden Pear Café, the program is both social and educational. The museum’s $10 admission fee includes the event.

The East Hampton Historical Society’s summer antiques show will take place on the grounds of Mulford Farm Saturday and Sunday, with a preview cocktail party tomorrow evening from 6 to 8:30 for buyers wanting first dibs.

Fifty-five dealers will participate in the show, whose focus is on decorative items for the home and garden. Among the offerings will be vintage rattan and bamboo furniture, lighting, textiles, American formal and country painted furniture, Art Deco and Moderne furniture, garden ornaments, wrought iron accessories, and much more.

The hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with an early buying hour starting at 9. Sunday hours are 10 to 5. Admission is $10, $20 for early buyers Saturday morning. Cocktail party tickets are $150, $100 for those 40 and under. Ticket proceeds will benefit the historical society. More information is available at easthamptonhistory.org.

“Me and My Dad,” a musical fund-raiser for the scholarship fund of Pianofest, will be held Sunday from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Southampton Historical Museum. Melissa Errico, a Broadway singer and actress, will perform, accompanied on piano by Michael Errico, her father.

The program will include songs by Irving Berlin, Stephen Sondheim, Jule Stein, Kurt Weill, Richard Rodgers, and a few “surprises.” Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served in the museum garden.

Tickets are $200, $100 for attendees younger than 30.

Alan Hicks, a native Australian and trained jazz musician, never thought he would be directing a documentary film about the jazz legend Clark Terry, but that’s exactly what he ended up doing in “Keep On Keepin’ On,” the next film in the Hamptons International Film Festival’s SummerDocs series at Guild Hall.

The film follows the mentorship between Mr. Terry — a trumpeter and flugelhornist who taught Quincy Jones and Miles Davis — and Justin Kauflin, a blind jazz pianist in his mid 20s. Mr. Hicks is another one of Mr. Terry’s proteges, which gave him the connections he needed to properly tell the story of Mr. Terry and Mr. Kauflin’s relationship.

The director and Mr. Terry, known as C.T., met at a jazz club in New York City and have been friends for about 13 years. “One of my teachers sat me next to him,” Mr. Hicks said, “and I was just totally starstruck. . . . Clark invited me for dinner, and I ended up studying with him for a while, and eventually ended up joining his band.”

It was during his time playing drums in Mr. Terry’s band that Mr. Hicks met Mr. Kauflin, who had been born with a rare eye disease and was completely blind by the time he was 11. The loss of his eyesight inspired him to begin playing piano, which eventually led to a career as a jazz musician.

Initially, a documentary film channel in Australia was going to produce a short film about Mr. Hicks’s work with Mr. Terry, but the project was dropped because of a lack of financing. He and his friend Adam Hart decided that they could make the movie themselves.

“My love and appreciation for Clark is what drove this film to be made,” Mr. Hicks said. “It’s a thank-you to my teacher for believing in me as a person and as a student.”

There were, however, quite a few problems with funding, and it was challenging for both Mr. Hicks and Mr. Hart to learn how to make a documentary film. Mr. Hicks explained that they had to shoot the film in three-month increments, taking time off in between to raise more money.

“There were a lot of parallels that I discovered along the way between making the film and playing jazz music. Clark’s motivational voice was in the back of my head the whole way.”

Mr. Terry’s role as a mentor and motivator is demonstrated through multiple relationships and interviews. Mr. Terry’s first student, Quincy Jones, a jazz musician and producer, is featured in the movie. Their relationship is one that has spanned several decades, beginning years ago when a nervous Mr. Jones approached Mr. Terry and asked to be his student. Gone now is the student-teacher dynamic, and in its place is a friendship between two men who remember what it was like to play during jazz’s golden age.

Mr. Terry and his current prodigy, Mr. Kauflin, are united through more than just music. While Mr. Kauflin is completely blind, Mr. Terry’s eyesight has also been failing for many years due to diabetes. During the film, he struggles through many treatments and surgeries, while Mr. Kauflin is shown navigating life with his guide dog, Candy. Despite medical limitations, Mr. Terry never strays from his duties as a mentor, constantly putting in late-night hours with Mr. Kauflin before big performances.

The documentary is more about interpersonal relationships and less about jazz itself. This was Mr. Hicks’s intent. “Going into this I didn’t want to make a jazz documentary, because Clark as a person is so interesting and there’s this other side to him besides jazz. The movie is not a history lesson by any means.”

He is also sure that the movie will appeal to those who are uninterested in jazz, and said, “People have been telling me that it’s such a universal theme, that it’s inspired them, that your everyday person can get a lot from the film. The jazz lover will love it but so can anyone else.”

“Keep On Keepin’ On” will play at Guild Hall on Friday, July 25, at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Hicks will be present, and a question-and-answer session will follow the movie. Tickets can be purchased on Guild Hall’s website for $23.

“Clever Little Lies,” a comedy by the Tony Award-winning playwright Joe DiPietro that premiered last fall at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, N.J., will open at Guild Hall on Wednesday and run through Aug. 3. The original cast—Marlo Thomas, Greg Mullavey, Jim Stanek, and Kate Wetherhead—will star in the production, which will be directed by David Saint, artistic director of George Street Playhouse.

The play opens in a tennis club locker room where Bill Jr. (Mr. Stanek) confides to Bill Sr. (Mr. Mullavey) that he has fallen in love with his young mistress. Despite his assurances to the contrary, Bill Sr. spills the beans to his wife, Alice (Ms. Thomas), who in turn creates a ruse to bring her son and daughter-in-law to her home for an evening of reckoning. The gathering quickly degenerates into misunderstandings and contentiousness, and family secrets are gradually unearthed.

“What I love about it is that it has a lot of twists and turns, it’s completely unpredictable,” said Ms. Thomas during a telephone conversation last week. “It gives each of the characters an arc that is surprising. And by the end of the play, you’ve had a full meal—as an actor, and as an audience. You don’t usually get that in a comedy.”

Ken Jaworowski, reviewing the New Brunswick production for The New York Times, wrote, “Joe DiPietro’s script is exceptionally actor-friendly, featuring lots of lively give-and-take among the characters, whose personalities are relatable and whose intentions are usually honest. . . . Mr. DiPietro is exceedingly well served by his cast.”

The playwright won the 2012 Drama Desk Award and was nominated for a Tony Award for best book for the recent Broadway hit “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” and he garnered a shelf full of honors for “Memphis,” including Tony Awards for best book and best score.

Ms. Thomas’s career spans 50 years and countless stage and television  roles, perhaps the most famous of which was Anne Marie in “That Girl,” the medium’s first comedy series about a single, independent woman, which Ms. Thomas also produced. She has appeared in three plays at the George Street Playhouse—Elaine May’s one-act “George is Dead,” Arthur Laurents’s “New Year’s Eve,” and “Clever Little Lies.”

“When you work in regional theater, often what you’re doing is revivals,” she said. “So it’s exciting to have done three originals at the George Street, and that’s what I really love about that theater. David Saint is a really good artistic director and is always looking for new plays.”

Mr. Mullavey has logged five decades of steady acting work, including the film “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” and such notable television shows as “M*A*S*H,” “Mary Hartmann, Mary Hartmann,” “All in the Family,” and “L.A. Law.”

Mr. Stanek has appeared in films and on television, but his career thus far is heavily weighted toward theater, with roles in six Broadway productions and more than a dozen off Broadway.

Ms. Wetherhead, too, has focused on the stage, with Broadway appearances in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” and “Legally Blonde,” and numerous Off-Broadway and regional roles.

“Greg Mullavey is really great,” said Ms. Thomas, “and Jim Stanek and Kate Wetherhead are extremely good actors. I know actors always say this about people in their cast, but I’m telling you the truth. They really are wonderful. There’s a lot going on with these characters, and I think that’s why everybody jumped at the chance to do this. These are all very accomplished people.”

While this is Ms. Thomas’s first stage appearance on the East End, she and her husband, Phil Donahue, visit often and have many friends with houses here. For the run at Guild Hall, “Phil is bringing out a small boat that he’ll dock in Sag Harbor. We often come here on our boat, and we stay on it, or with friends.”

Prime orchestra tickets are $75, $70 for members; orchestra seats are priced at $55, $53 for members, and the balcony costs $40, $38 for members. Tickets are available at guildhall.org or at the box office.

Lady Gaga Portraits

“Portraits of Lady Gaga,” an exhibition of high-definition video portraits by Robert Wilson, will have its United States premiere on Saturday at the Watermill Center’s summer benefit and will remain on view through Sept. 14.

Mr. Wilson’s video portraits incorporate lighting, costume, makeup, choreography, gesture, text, voice, set design, and narrative. An ongoing series, which has previously featured Brad Pitt, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Sean Penn, Jeanne Moreau, and Isabella Rossellini, among others, the portraits draw on painting, design, dance, theater, photography, television, and history.

The Lady Gaga portraits have been primarily influenced by master paintings from the collection of the Louvre, but one is more contemporary in nature, rooted in the Japanese art of rope bondage. They were shot in London in October and exhibited at the Louvre the following month.

One Thousand Nights and One Night, this year’s fund-raiser, will take place Saturday starting at 6 p.m. The center’s benefit auction, featuring artwork by more than 50 artists, will conclude Saturday at 11:30 p.m. More information is at watermillcenter.org.

New at Fireplace Project

“Contact,” an exhibition of work by Alisa Baremboym and Gregory Edwards, will open at the Fireplace Project in Springs with a reception tomorrow from 6 to 8 p.m. and remain on view through Aug. 18.

Ms. Baremboym uses such materials as silk, ceramic, plastic, steel, and gels to create sculptures that blur the distinctions between the organic and the industrial, suggesting machines whose functionality is questionable.

Mr. Edwards’s abstract paintings incorporate letters, question marks, and other recognizable graphic elements. Tim Gentles, writing for Art Observed, suggested that some of Mr. Edwards’s paintings “recall the increasingly vintage aesthetic of MS PowerPoint Slideshows and WordArt.”

Recently married, the artists live in New York City.

Mexican Murals

The Amagansett Library will present two talks on Mexican murals by Jane Weissman, a writer, arts administrator, and a muralist with Artmakers, Inc., a community mural organization in New York City. Next Thursday at 6:30 p.m., Ms. Weissman will discuss “Mexico From Independence Through Revolution: The Murals of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Jose Clemente Orozco. The second talk, “Jose Clemente Orozco: Man of Fire,” will take place Aug. 7 at 6:30.

Nature at Ashawagh

“Natural Elements,” an exhibition of work by 11 artists inspired by nature, will take place tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. The show will include abstract work by Barbara Groot and Rosario Varela; figurative and impressionistic paintings by Kirsten Benfield, Susan Burr Carlo, Judy Clifford, Anne Holton, Mary Laspia, and Richard Udice; constructions by Katherine Crone; fish prints by Annie Sessler, and ceramics by Lisa West­on and Ms. Valera.

A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Gornik Book Signing

April Gornik will be at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill on Saturday at 11 a.m. for an outdoor reception and book signing in celebration of the newly published “April Gornik: Drawings.” The book brings together charcoal drawings from 1984 to the present and includes essays by Steve Martin and Archie Rand, an interview with Ms. Gornik by Lawrence Weschler, and a CD of a work for piano and cello composed by Bruce Wolosoff, inspired by one of Ms. Gornik’s drawings.

Complimentary coffee and breakfast pastries will be served at the event, which is included with the museum’s admission fee of $10.

“A Light in Harlem”

“A Light in Harlem,” an exhibition of paintings by Kadir Nelson, will be on view at the Richard Demato Gallery in Sag Harbor from Saturday through Aug. 22, with a reception scheduled for Saturday from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Mr. Nelson, a graduate of Pratt Institute who lives in Los Angeles, is an artist, author, and illustrator whose work is rooted in African-American culture. The Sag Harbor exhibition focuses on the period of the Harlem Renaissance, a time of growth and experimentation for New York City’s black residents.

Mr. Nelson has exhibited in galleries throughout the United States and is represented in several public collections. He has also illustrated children’s books, 28 of which are in print.

Jonathan Cramer Solo

More than 60 paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Jonathan Cramer will be on view at the Southampton Arts Center from tomorrow through Aug. 17. Mr. Cramer, who has family on the East End and has visited the area all his life, creates colorful abstract paintings and sculptures whose swirling, geometric elements suggest helixes gone awry.

Organized by Allison Read Smith, the exhibition is the largest public showing of the artist’s work in more than 10 years. A reception for Mr. Cramer will be held tomorrow at 6 p.m.

New at Crazy Monkey

Paintings by Barbara Bilotta, Richard Mothes, and Mark E. Zimmerman will be featured at the Crazy Monkey Gallery in Amagansett from today through Aug. 11. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Ms. Bilotta’s goal is to bring out the interplay of light and shadow in her colorful abstract paintings, while Mr. Mothes paints the daily activities of people living on the East End. Mr. Zimmerman’s abstract paintings contain hard-edged, graphic elements, sometimes combined with splashes of looser brushwork.

Drawings by Dimon

“Artifacts II,” an exhibition of digital drawings by Roz Dimon, is on view at the Shelter Island Historical Society through Tuesday. A reception will be held Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m.

    Ms. Dimon, who divides her time between New York City and Shelter Island, where she has her studio, will be showing work from a new series of black-and-white drawings of iconic, everyday tools made with a digital brush. She took her first digital course in 1984, when her computer had only four colors.

Monoprints in Gansett

“Transitions,” a new series of work by Susan Kaufmann, a painter and printmaker who lives in New York City, is on view at Sylvester & Co. at Home in Amagansett through Aug. 14.

The series consists of black-and-white hand-wiped monoprints, some of which suggest emotional states, such as “Anxiety,” whose frazzled black edges poke uneasily into white space, or physical phenomena, such as “Rift,” in which a white fissure divides the black mass. Among other transitions, the series probes that between positive and negative space.

Knigen Estate Sale

An estate sale will be held from next Thursday through Aug. 3 at the East Hampton residence of Michael Knigen, an artist who died in 2011. Knigen was a painter and printmaker who, late in his career, turned to the computer for the production of digital photographic collages. His work was exhibited and collected widely during his 45-year career, during which he worked with such noted artists as Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, and Robert Indiana.

The sale will include original artworks by Knigen and many of his contemporaries as well as the contents of his house, which include scuba equipment, kayaks, sterling and gold, lamps, bedroom sets, living room sets, china stemware, first editions and rare books, rugs, electronics, printers, a camera collection, clocks, pottery, collectibles, tools, and picture frames.

Information about the sale, including the address, will be available at 2muchstuff4me.com and estatesales.net 48 hours prior to the event.

If there were any remaining questions as to whether the South Fork could support three art fairs, their continued return over the past few years should quell them.

This week’s returnee is Art South­ampton, an offshoot of Nick Korniloff’s Art Miami empire, which includes that main fair, held each December during Art Basel Miami Beach week, and a variety of others he hosts, either in Miami or, now, in Silicon Valley.

This is the third iteration of the fair in Southampton, held on the grounds of the Elks Club on County Road 39. While the other fair organizers here prefer Bridgehampton’s centrality to east and west, Mr. Korniloff said last week that he likes the proximity of the fair to the highway and the visitors he gains from those traveling back and forth from the city.

He will have 83 galleries this year, just a few less than last year, but, he said, with a costlier inventory. “I’ve learned this market can support investment-quality work at a substantial price point,” he said, “one that had not been achieved prior to us entering the market.” One German gallery will bring a Roy Lichtenstein sculpture with a seven-figure tag.

The gallery mix will be both national and international, with some familiar names from Miami and quite a few new ones, as well as South Fork dealers, many making return appearances. The list of local names includes ARDT, Birnam Wood, Eric Firestone, Gallery Valentine, Keszler, Lawrence Fine Art, McNeill Art Group, and Peter Marcelle Project. The galleries will be both from the primary and secondary markets.

While he is often asked why he doesn’t mount the fair when ArtHamptons and Art Market Hamptons hold theirs, the weekend after July 4, he said he chose this week because he likes to be here the same weekend as the benefits for Watermill Center and Rush for Life, as well as Super Saturday.

This year, Art Southampton has partnered with the Parrish Art Museum in addition to Southampton Hospital, its regular beneficiary, and the Ross School and the Southampton Fresh Air Home.

In addition to a preview party tonight, there will be a program of frequent talks on art market-related matters throughout the run of the fair. They have been organized in partnership with One Art Nation. Speakers will include Hunt Slonem and Gracie Mansion as well as Jennifer Cross, an artist and instructor at the Ross School.

The fair will be open to the public at noon tomorrow through Monday. Tomorrow it will close at 8 p.m., and at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Monday’s hours are noon to 5 p.m. A one-day pass is $25, $40 for multiple days, with significant discounts for students and those over 65. Children under 12 will be admitted free.

Slightly frazzled, toting coffee in a takeout container, Nina Yankowitz admitted having been up until 4 a.m. — not partying but working — as she welcomed a Sunday-morning visitor to the Sag Harbor home she shares with her husband, Barry Holden. While Mr. Holden, an architect and sometime collaborator, disappeared, laptop in hand, for a conference call, Ms. Yankowitz led her guest to an upstairs living room overlooking Noyac Bay.

It was a week before she was to begin the installation at Guild Hall of “Criss-Crossing the Divine,” a gallery-sized piece of enormous technological complexity involving collaborators in Sweden, Austria, and the United States. Her lack of sleep was understandable.

The completed installation, which will be on view through July 27, transformed Guild Hall’s Spiga Gallery into a virtual sanctuary or “theater in the round,” as Ms. Yankowitz called it during a visit to the museum two weeks later. A video of a rapidly revolving and mutating building — the artist refers to it as “Houses of Warship” — is projected across the east wall of the gallery. Three robotic figures, Hindu, Catholic, and Buddhist priests, appear to levitate above the gallery floor in the middle of the room, while two more, a Muslim woman and a Jewish man, flank the video projection. The figures’ movements suggest the ways in which they worship.

Interactive games are projected on the gallery’s north and south walls. Visitors, using an infrared wand, are invited to select words that appear in the sacred texts of all five religions. Each time a word is selected, color-coded excerpts from the texts containing that word appear on an adjacent screen.

Both games function similarly, though with different visual configurations. Each is essentially a complex search engine that not only chooses from more than 48,000 scripture selections but also organizes and reorganizes them in a way specific to the player’s direction. Once finished, participants can save their search results, retrieve them from a website, and learn from which religions the color-coded texts originated.

The intention of “Criss-Crossing the Divine” is to emphasize the similarities among the different scriptures and their tendency to change over time. Ms. Yankowitz will discuss the project and related issues with Christina Strassfield, the museum’s curator, on Sunday at noon.

The project, funded by a grant from European Mobile Lab for Interactive Media Artists (e-MobiLArt), was a life-changing experience. “We met in five different countries,” Ms. Yankowitz said, “and I made my presentation each time.” Mauri Kaipainen, a Swedish professor of media technology, designed the interactive multi-perspective search engine; Peter Koger, an Austrian media technology professor, designed the software/hardware interface. Other collaborators were Mr. Holden, who served as project coordinator, and Qing Tian Chen and Mark Klebach, the robotics team. The project was developed almost entirely on Skype.

Ms. Yankowitz was born in Newark and raised in South Orange, N.J. While still in high school, she said, she would cut classes to hang out at the folk music venues in Greenwich Village, where she first heard about a collective of artists, musicians, and poets called Group 212. She spent the summer of 1968 with the group in Woodstock, N.Y. (the famous Woodstock Festival happened the year after), where she met Juma Sultan, a percussionist who played with Jimi Hendrix, Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, Dave Burrell, Kenneth Werner, and Bob Dylan.

It’s no wonder that much of Ms. Yankowitz’s work, ever since she earned a degree from the School of Visual Arts in 1969, has involved collaboration, interactivity, politics, and technology. She had her first exhibition in New York that same year at the Kornblee Gallery, where she showed “Oh Say Can You See: A Draped Sound Painting,” created in 1967-68. She painted the first few notes of the national anthem on cloth and hung it loosely on the gallery wall. It was accompanied by a recording of the notes, distorted by Mr. Werner on a synthesizer. The work combined an implied antiwar message and what was then cutting-edge technology with pushing the boundaries of what a painting, or any artwork, could be.

Only four years out of art school, Ms. Yankowitz was selected for the Whitney Biennial in 1973. At the same time, she was a founding member of the Heresies Collective, a feminist group that gave rise to Heresies magazine, which was published from 1977 to 1992 and called into question many of the assumptions and practices of the art world. “I was never interested in having work that used ‘female’ imagery or methodology,” she explained. “I totally respected it, but it just wasn’t my thing. But Heresies opened a lot of doors for disenfranchised artists, and I realize now it was necessary to take one thing, in that case female imagery, and push it through in order to make a change.”

Ms. Yankowitz moved into a loft building on Spring Street in 1973, and two years later, while a visiting artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she met Mr. Holden. They met again in 1980, when he moved to New York, and were married in 1986. Their son, Ian, graduated from Northwestern University in 2012 and is a cinematographer and film editor. They purchased the Sag Harbor house in 1993.

Ms. Yankowitz has long been involved with public art projects, many of them in collaboration with her husband. Their last joint project was Interactive Poetry Walk, completed in 2009 in East Cleveland. Granite spheres embossed with texts conceal speakers which, when activated by passersby, speak poetry by admired poets who lived or worked in Cleveland. The spheres appear to be skidding to a halt, leaving behind imprints of poems inlaid along granite paths for visitors to read. The project combines technology, interactivity, language, and visual elegance.

Houses have figured prominently in Ms. Yankowitz’s work since 2000. The basic structure is constructed from glass panels and aluminum framing. Like the house in Jennifer Bartlett’s paintings, it is a schematic, iconic image that remains constant through various iterations. The glass walls of “Kiosk.edu,” which was exhibited in Guild Hall’s sculpture garden in 2005, consist of quotations from artists, actors, architects, and writers. At night the quotations are illuminated from within. “It’s about playing with words and contemplated concepts providing windows into creative minds and the creative process,” said Ms. Yan­kowitz.

“One night I woke up and told Barry I was going to make a cloud house,” she recalled. “He thought I was crazy.” Intrigued by the idea of bringing the outside inside, Ms. Yankowitz read that ultrasound could produce mist from tiny droplets of water. She placed water on the floor of the glass house and an ultrasound generator inside. “Depending on the moisture outside, the barometric pressure, the cloud would move and change. I put little LEDs in the generator so it would be lit at night.”

In 2011, at Galapagos Theater Space in Brooklyn, Ms. Yankowitz directed an interactive performance film with five other collaborators. Titled “The Third Woman,” the starting point of the piece consisted of film clips shot in Vienna by Pia Tikka and Martin Rieser, some of them in the same sewers where Orson Welles was pursued in the climactic scene of Carol Reed’s film “The Third Man.” The Algorithmics, a group of models wearing costumes with QR codes on them, circulated through the audience, whose members could click on the codes and receive films clips and questions to answer on their cellphones. Through their responses, the audience determined the outcome of the final film via communal voting on a shared Wi-Fi network.

Ms. Yankowitz’s work has taken many forms over the course of her career. In addition to her exhibitions here and abroad, she has executed many public projects, including an M.T.A.-commissioned tile installation in the 51st Street Lexington Avenue subway station, two rooftop gardens at I.S. 145 in Queens, and public seating projects in Denver and Santa Monica, to name just a few. Her work is in many public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, and the Bank of Boston International.

Bill King at Art Barge

Artists Speak at the Art Barge will feature William King, a sculptor whose work is on view at Duck Creek Farm in Springs, in conversation with Janet Goleas, an artist, writer, and curator, on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Mr. King, who has lived in East Hampton since 1959, is as recognizable a figure on the East End as his elongated, silhouette-like figures. A member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, he has been awarded honorary doctorates by the San Francisco Art Institute, the California College of Arts and Crafts, and the Corcoran School of Art.

Artists Speak began in 1983 as a forum for artists to engage in one-on-one conversations with a moderator. Howard Kanovitz, a pioneer of Photo Realism, hosted the series in its first iteration, which lasted until 1989.

Tickets are $20, and seating is limited. The Art Barge is on Napeague Meadow Road.

“Mark Makers”

McNeill Art Group is presenting “Mark Makers,” the second exhibition at its space at 40 Hill Street in Southampton, from today through Aug. 4. A reception will be held tomorrow from 5 to 7 p.m.

The exhibition will include photographic works by Lori Cuisinier, who divides her time between Southampton and New York City; paintings and works on paper by Jeff Muhs, a Southampton native; mixed-media works on canvas and watercolors on paper by Bastienne Schmidt of Bridgehampton, and beeswax, muslin, and acrylic works on panel by Mike Solomon, who works — and surfs — in East Hampton and Sarasota, Fla.

New at Ashawagh

“B.O.W. XI,” a group exhibition that features a variety of approaches to the figure, will be on view Saturday and Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Body of Work, a fluctuating group of artists united by an interest in the figure, has organized the exhibition with Esperanza Leon, a gallerist and curator. The group includes nonmembers in its shows in order to ensure the expansion of representational possibilities.

The exhibition will include new work by Rosalind Brenner, John Capello, Linda Capello, Michael Cardacino, Daria Deshuk, Ellen Dooley, Cynthia Loewen, Setha Low, Christa Maiwald, and Michael McDowell.

Ashawagh Hall will also be the site of a fund-raiser for Arts Against Addiction next Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. The event will feature work by East End artists, musicians, and writers, hors d’oeuvres, nonalcoholic beverages, and a raffle. Tickets are $32, and proceeds will help provide treatment scholarships for individuals who need creative counseling. 

Lecture on Legacies

Christy MacLear, currently executive director of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and formerly founding executive director of the Philip Johnson Glass House, will deliver the John H. Marburger III Memorial Lecture at Guild Hall on Sunday at 4 p.m.

Titled “New Takes on Legacy: The Artist, the Architect, and the Historic Home,” the talk will address the innovative ways in which the legacies of Rauschenberg, Johnson, and others can be used for public benefit.

The program is sponsored by the Pollock-Krasner House in Springs, where a reception will take place following the lecture, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, $8 for members of Guild Hall and the Pollock-Krasner House.

Two at Halsey Mckay

Halsey Mckay Gallery in East Hampton will present concurrent solo exhibitions of work by Denise Kupferschmidt and Hilary Harnischfeger from tomorrow through Aug. 4, with an opening reception to be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Ms. Kupferschmidt, who lives in Brooklyn, makes paintings, drawings, sculpture, and prints using a minimal, geometric vocabulary that suggests early 20th-century primitivism. She will be exhibiting paintings at Halsey Mckay.

Ms. Harnischfeger, who divides her time between Brooklyn and Granville, Ohio, assembles her densely compacted sculptures from such materials as porcelain, pigment, paper, dye, crushed glass, plaster, pyrite, steel, and mica.

Ramiro Solo

The Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor is presenting a solo show of paintings by Ramiro through Aug. 3, with a reception for the artist scheduled for Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m.

Ramiro paints only from life, searching for accuracy beyond physical appearance to reach the psychological state of his subject. He believes the painter must draw his information from all five senses to tell the complete human story.

Born in Venezuela in 1974, Ramiro has lived and worked in Florence since 1993. The Grenning exhibition will feature four substantial figurative works, each “representing a season of the soul,” according to the gallery.

Don’t Touch

“Tactility,” an exhibition organized by Arlene Bujese, will be on view at the Southampton Cultural Center’s Levitas Center for the Arts through Aug. 16.

Darlene Charneco uses nails, enamel, and polyurethane on wood to create wall panels inspired by personal philosophy and experience. Carol Hunt will exhibit weavings whose abstract motifs are inspired by nature.

Dennis Leri’s sculpture combines wood, paint, and strips of metal, with metal strips overlapping or interspersed with other materials. Will Ryan’s paintings are built up with layers of encaustic and leaf on board.

A reception will take place next Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Rare Drawings in Bridge

Beginning tomorrow with a reception from 4 to 8 p.m., Kinnaman & Ramaekers of Bridgehampton will be showing a group of rare, original drawings created between 1900 and 1930 as full-sized patterns for important stained glass windows made during that period. The exhibition will continue through July 27.

The drawings were made by the London firm of Clayton & Bell, one of England’s preeminent stained glass window manufacturers and only recently discovered by Ari Milner, a New York City dealer of antiques and prints.

Pinajian’s Early Nudes

“Arthur Pinajian: The Nudes,” will open today at Lawrence Fine Art in East Hampton and remain on view through Aug. 4. A contemporary of the Abstract Expressionists, Pinajian rarely exhibited his work and was virtually unknown. After his death in 1999, five decades of accumulated artwork were found in the one-car garage and attic of the cottage he shared with his sister in Bellport.

While the East Hampton exhibition will focus on his early nudes, he is also known for his abstract paintings and lyrical landscapes. An opening reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Photo Group in Water Mill

“Summer Celebration,” an exhibition of work by members of the East End Photographers Group, will be on view at the Water Mill Museum from today through Aug. 11. Eighteen photographers will show work using traditional, digital, and alternative photographic processes. A reception will take place Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

Paintings at Kramoris

Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor will present work by Anna DeMauro and Thomas Condon from today through Aug. 17, with a reception scheduled for Saturday afternoon from 4:30 to 6.

Ms. DeMauro, who lives in Sag Harbor, is a painter and sculptor who works from life to record the passage of time and impressions of the metaphysical and human condition. Mr. Condon’s recent work has focused on both urban scenes and the landscapes of the East End. He divides his time between New York City and East Hampton.
