ON VIEW IN THE GALLERIES:
Chuck Close Photographs (May
10 – July 26, 2015)
This comprehensive survey explores how Chuck Close—perhaps
one of the most important figures in contemporary art—has
stretched the boundaries of photographic means, methods, and
approaches. Chuck
Close Photographs delves
into the full range of his photographic works, presenting
nearly 90 images spanning 1968 to the present, ranging from
straightforward black and white portraits to monumentally
scaled, composite Polaroids to the intimately scaled
daguerreotypes.
Platform: Tara Donovan (July
4 – October 18, 2015)
As the Parrish’s 2015 Platform artist,
Tara Donovan is developing a new installation that relates
to the space, context, and environmental conditions of the
Museum. Donovan creates large-scale installations and
sculptures made from everyday objects. Known for her
commitment to process, she discovers the inherent physical
properties of a material and transforms it into art. In
Donovan’s hands, accumulated objects such as drinking
straws, pins, toothpicks, index cards, or wire springs take
on forms that appear geological, biological, or otherwise
naturally occurring.
The Permanent Collection: Art. Illuminated. (Through
November 2015)
The third installation of the Museum’s permanent collection
in its Water Mill home presents a series of highly focused
exhibitions that can be enjoyed individually and, when taken
together, provide a fresh context and overview of the key
ideas and impulses that inspire the creative process. The
exhibition features recent acquisitions, and new
perspectives on traditional themes including landscape,
portraiture, nontraditional materials and techniques, and
still life.
