Invitational Exhibition
"Arts and Archives," an annual invitational exhibition curated by Teri Kennedy, will open at Ashawagh Hall in Springs Friday and remain on view through Sunday. A reception will be held Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. for members of the Springs Historical Society. A public reception will happen Saturday from 5 to 7.
Presented by the historical society, the show features work by more than 50 contemporary Springs artists working in painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, photography, and glass. It also includes work by artists of previous generations, among them Elizabeth Parker Anderson, Dan Christensen, Berenice D'Vorzon, John Little, Charlotte Park, Charles Waller, and Athos Zacharias.
On Sunday afternoon at 2, Helen Harrison, an art historian, curator, and longtime director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, and Phyllis Braff, an independent critic and curator, will talk about "The Creative Decade: The '70s in Springs."
Alice Hope Talk and Film
Alice Hope, whose installation "True Value" is in Buckminster Fuller's "Fly's Eye Dome" at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, will be there on Saturday starting at 6 p.m. for a conversation with James Salomon that will be followed by a screening of Lana Jokel's film "Ethereal — Alice Hope Art."
Mr. Salomon, who is the director of design projects at Achille Salvagni Atelier in Manhattan as well as an art dealer and independent curator, will discuss with Ms. Hope her practice.
"Ethereal," a 56-minute documentary, elucidates Ms. Hope's work, which is marked by an imaginative transformation of such commonplace materials as can tabs, magnets, and, in the case of "True Value," rulers, into visually striking and conceptually resonant installations.
Tickets are $55, $45 for members.
Artist Talk at Duck Creek
Daisuke Kiyomiya, whose exhibition "Forms of Perception" is on view in the John Little Barn at the Arts Center at Duck Creek in Springs, will be on site Saturday at 4 p.m.
Mr. Kiyomiya will discuss the evolution of his work and his approach to sculpture, which bridges contemporary art and centuries-old craft traditions. His practice opens a dialogue between intuitive expression and the discipline of stone carving. He will also talk about his restoration work on such landmarks at St. Patrick's Cathedral, the New York Public Library, and the Frick Collection.
"Forms of Perception" will be on view through Sept. 28.
East End Photographers
"All We See," a show by members of the East End Photographers Group, opens Thursday at the Depot Art Gallery in Montauk and will continue through Sept. 22. A reception is set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
The group, which is exhibiting at the Depot for the first time, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote photography and the visual arts in a community setting.
The exhibiting artists include Steve Borghardt, Ann Brandeis, Steve Brodsky, Ron Buchter, Gerry Giliberti, Carol Glassman, Virginia Khuri, Rich Law, Joel Lefkowitz, Anthony Lombardo, Keith Manning, Joanna McCarthy, Dainis Saulitis, Val Schaffner, and Marilyn Stevenson.
