Luminosity and Translucence
“Points of Light,” an exhibition that features painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, collage, handcrafted jewelry, and decorative objects made in etched glass, bronze, and porcelain, will open Friday at the Drawing Room in East Hampton and continue through Jan. 18.
The exhibiting artists are Vija Celmins, Alice Hope, John Iversen, Patricia Maurides, Ted Muehling, Michelle Stuart, and John Torreano. While each approaches the creative process from a unique conceptual framework and employs varied materials and techniques, the selection of works is unified by an overarching fascination with nuances of luminosity, reflectivity, and translucence, according to the gallery.
Exhibition Tour
Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat, visionary architects whose firm’s work is now on view at the Bridgehampton Museum’s Nathaniel Rogers House, will lead a tour of the exhibition on Saturday at 2 p.m. Curated by Reed Kroloff, dean of the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, the show features photographs and architectural models documenting some of the firm’s most iconic projects across Long Island.
“Light, form, and color are tools that Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat have mastered over a 50-year career and dozens of projects, celebrated in the press and cherished by clients,” Mr. Kroloff said. The show coincides with the publication of a new monograph, “Stamberg Aferiat Architecture: Form + Color / Form + Light,” featuring photographs by Paul Warchol and forewords by Paul Goldberger and Mr. Kroloff.
Admission is free but a $20 donation has been suggested.
Five at Keyes Art
Keyes Art in Sag Harbor will open its holiday exhibition of work by Bert Stern, Gabe Aiello, Steve Romm, Jerry Schofield, and Jonathan Greenberg with a reception Friday from noon to 6.
Stern (1929-2013) will be showing a 12-page serigraph featuring photographs of Marilyn Monroe taken in 1962. Mr. Aiello creates vivid, stark imagery on large industrial metal surfaces, canvases, and paper. The vanishing East End vistas are captured in the paintings of Mr. Romm.
Schofield (1926-2014) left behind a trove of ink drawings, advertising studies, and collages that reflect his draftsmanship. Self-taught, Mr. Greenberg has developed a visionary style in which characters appear in his head before being transferred to paper.
The show will run through Dec. 30.
Tripoli in Miami
“Big Baby Jesus,” a group show organized by the Tripoli Gallery and Abril Aristizabal, will open Wednesday at the Rudolf Budja Gallery in Miami Beach with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. It will run through Jan. 20.
Featuring works by John Alexander, Thomas Houseago, Joe Lewis, Charles McGill, Angelbert Metoyer, Ross Bleckner, Keith Sonnier, and Yung Jake, the exhibition celebrates art’s ability to reawaken our collective memory and bring humanity closer to its roots, according to the gallery.
