LongHouse Workshop
InsiderOutsider: New Voices in the Art World will return to East Hampton’s LongHouse Reserve for the 2026 season on Sunday at 3 p.m. with Ursula Hudson, an interdisciplinary artist of German, English, Filipino and Alaska Native (Tlingit) descent. Through weaving, painting, and collage, she engages with Indigenous feminism and Native spirituality to address colonialism, institutional reform, and cultural “rematriation.”
After a brief introduction, Hudson will lead a hands-on workshop exploring weaving relationships, with a focus on process versus product, and interaction versus illustration. Participants will be invited to listen and respond to the material and notice points of interconnection, tension, and balance through experimental play. Compositions will be built by noticing weight, rhythm, interruption, and harmony.
InsiderOutsider is presented in collaboration with Jeremy Dennis and Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio. Tickets are $25, $15 for LongHouse members.
Connie Fox Solo
“The Eighties,” a solo exhibition of paintings by Connie Fox (1925-2023), will open Saturday at Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and continue through June 22.
“As we look back at a monumental era of Fox’s history, we see the influence the East End continually has on artists, celebrating a selection of paintings created during the first decade of her arrival in East Hampton,” said Tripoli Patterson, the gallery’s director.
Farther afield, “Paper Thin,” a group show organized by Patterson, is now on view at Sun Contemporary in Bali, Indonesia, through July 19. The show features 22 artists in a dialogue centered on one of civilization’s most elemental materials: paper.
For Patterson, paper is the draftsman’s medium, the place where ideas land first, unguarded. It allows loose thoughts to arrive without interference, and the works on view share that spirit.Participating artists include Judith Hudson, Lucy Winton, Mamoun Nukumanu, Mary Heilmann, Miles Partington, Sabra Moon Elliot, Sage Schacter, Yung Jake, and Sally Egbert.
Abstraction and Figuration
BlackBook Art Gallery in Southampton will open two exhibitions on Friday with a reception from 8 p.m. to midnight. “The Lost Generation: Then and Now,” presented in collaboration with the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, features works from the first and second wave of Abstract Expressionists, while “Summer Figuration” explores figuration by modern and contemporary Black artists.
“The Lost Generation” includes works by over 20 artists, among them Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Gilliam, Sam Francis, Grace Hartigan, and more. Curated by Evanly Schindler, BlackBook’s founder, the show looks at political upheaval, economic instability, and cultural fragmentation, and how those factors catalyzed abstraction.
By referencing pioneering exhibitions from the early 2000s to the present, “Summer Figuration” features Black figurative artists who have redefined the art historical canon. It includes works by Jean Michel-Basquiat, Amy Sherald, Amoako Boafo, Robert Colescott, and Tschabalala Self, among others.
Both shows will run through September.
Dessert in Springs
“Cake 2,” a show of work by Adriana Barone, John Haubrich, and Christa Maiwald, will open Saturday with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. at HaubrichArt, 39 Isle of Wight Road in Springs.
The exhibition launches the venue’s fifth year with the whimsy of Barone’s paintings, Haubrich’s continuing explorations in collage, and Maiwald’s photography and embroidery. Cakes by Maiwald will be provided.
The show will continue through July 1 by appointment via email to [email protected].
Things That Flow
“I love everything that flows” is a famous quotation from Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer,” and Andrea McCafferty and Kat O’Neill, the owners of East Hampton’s White Room Gallery, apparently agree. “In the Flow,” a group show, will open there on Wednesday and continue through June 28. A reception will happen on May 30 from 5 to 7 p.m.
The show includes both abstract and figurative work, ranging from Lynn Savarese’s black-and-white photographs of swirling pages of books to Brad Beyer’s pencil-on-paper portrait of Stevie Nicks to Bob Tabor’s vibrant “splash” photographs. Other artists in the show include Mital Patel, Seek One, Pascal Guetta, and Sabrina Cabada.
Four Painters at Kramoris
A show of works by Carol Ientile, Lutha Leahy-Miller, Sharon Mroz Hopek, and Anne Holtermann opens Thursday at the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor and will remain on view through June 11, with a reception set for Saturday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Ientile is a writer, poet, and painter whose art explores subtle energetic fields of consciousness through the combination of color, symbols, imagery, and layered mixed media. Leahy-Miller’s “Oceania” series captures the energy of ocean waves through Japanese ink and brushwork on paper.
After years of painting in oil and watercolor, Hopek, a retired veterinarian, now creates her paintings of flowers, landscapes, and changing seasons in acrylic. Holtermann’s abstract paintings are inspired by changing light, natural patterns, growth, and decay.
