Halsey Mckay Gallery in East Hampton opened two shows this weekend, an artist-curated show in the Newtown Lane gallery and a single artist installation at the former residence and studio of Elaine de Kooning on Alewife Brook Road.

Chris Duncan’s “Year” is installed at the de Kooning house and marks a year of loss and challenge for the artist. He began his project in January of last year, flying from his native California to install black cotton fabric in the solarium and studio windows of the building in order to capture the image of the window into the fabric.

Julianne Moore, who played a woman in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease in “Still Alice,” won the best actress Oscar for the role on Sunday night.

Ms. Moore, who has a house in Montauk with her husband, Bart Freundlich, and their children Caleb and Liv, stars in the film with Alec Baldwin, whose own association with the South Fork and its various arts and non-profit institutions defines ubiquity.

A small, but excellently edited collection of Michael Halsband portraits are on display at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park through April 25.

Included in the mix that goes back to the mid 1980s are selections from Rolling Stones tours, images of artists and other musicians of the time, his nudes series, contemporary surfers and their culture across a few continents, and some recent formal portraits.

Featured prominently are a few images from his famous Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat shoot where they donned boxing gloves to promote their duel show at Tony Shafr

Art Groove opened Saturday night at Ashawagh Hall with 13 artists and the band Out East providing fusion rock and a dance party following with DJ G-Funk.

The art was a mixture of color and movement with more restrained or slightly twisted offerings.

The show is on view Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
