SUMMARY:Robert Longo: A History of the Present
DESCRIPTION:Robert Longo’s exhibition\, A History of the Present\, is a celebration of and a critical investigation into the span of American history bookended by Abstract Expressionism and the current moment in which we live. In two adjacent galleries Longo juxtaposes America’s past with its present through 17 monumental\, highly labor-intensive charcoal drawings that act as mirrors into history. \nThe exhibition begins with Longo’s Gang of Cosmos series–exquisitely rendered\, highly sensitized black and white translations in charcoal–based on prominent paintings from the American Abstract Expressionist movement. Many of the artists who made the works upon which these interpretations are made lived and worked in the East End of Long Island\, making the ubiquity of the local landscape’s presence in the abstractions at once mesmerizing and inevitable. \nConsidered the most advanced American art at the time\, Abstract Expressionism was championed for being monumental in scale\, romantic in mood\, expressive of freedom and uniquely American in spirit. These works embody America’s willful rise out of the ashes after the world tried to destroy itself during the Second World War. Longo’s personal fascination with this era is no coincidence: he was born around the beginning of it and bore witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy\, an event which took place as the Abstract Expressionist influence was beginning to wane. \nPictures in the second gallery comprise The Agency of Faith\, echoing our current state of affairs\, and posing questions about our national and environmental narratives. A massive wave drawing anchors the visual energy of the gallery and serves as a reminder of nature’s enigmatic\, unrelenting power. Longo’s connection to the ocean and surfing the East End goes back decades and inspired his creating the classic wave drawing–the largest wave Longo has made to date and specifically for this exhibition. A quiet wing of a fallen bird evinces nature’s vulnerability. Yet once the viewer encounters a drawing depicting a field of cotton alongside a drawing of a closely cropped Native American headdress\, the seeming innocuousness of the natural imagery begins to unravel to expose a more provocative narrative. Longo presents us with captivating images both of our American crimes and answered calls to action\, unleashing an urgency to acknowledge our shared burdens and therefore shared responsibilities. Longo’s signature\, velvety charcoal chiaroscuro activates the power of beauty\, seducing the viewer into a state of\, if not unadulterated optimism\, renewed faith in our agency to create possibilities for our future. \nClick HERE for full COVID-19 information to review prior to your visit. \n\nEXHIBITION-RELATED PROGRAMS \nAugust 7\, 6-8PM: Meet Robert Longo in the Galleries\n\nAugust 17\, 7PM: Robert Longo and Shirin Neshat in Conversation \nArtists Robert Longo and Shirin Neshat will discuss process of visual artists making and directing films \nAugust 17\, 8:30PM: Screening of Johnny Mnemonic Introduced by Robert Longo \nNew Black & White conversion of the 1995 action drama starring Keanu Reeves \nAugust 31\, 7PM: Robert Longo Documentary Film by The Artist Profile Archive Followed by a Q&A with Robert Longo\, Filmmaker Sophie Chahinian\, and moderated by Christina Mossaides Strassfield \nSeptember 25\, 3PM: Gallery Tour with Christina Mossaides Strassfield

SUMMARY:Social Fabric: In the Public Square
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary artist Andrea Cote and choreographer Ann Robideaux will activate the Minikes Garden as a place to gather amid a video installation accompanied by live sound by Chris Jones\, and curated by Christina Mossiades Strassfield\, Museum Director and Chief Curator. \nThe project explores how we embody personal and communal movement languages\, through containment and connection in domestic and public spheres. The artists invited both professional dancers and recreational movers to explore movement inside six-foot square sheets delineated with geometric forms and cosmological patterns. As we occupy this present liminal zone\, the artists create a place for visitors to inhabit that is at once intimate and communal. \nReservations are not required. Simply drop in over the course of their time in the garden! \nThe eAT Coffee Bar will be open for drinks and refreshments!

SUMMARY:Jeff Muhs: The Uncanny Valley
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the 2018 Annual Guild Hall Artist Members Exhibition \nJeff Muhs: The Uncanny Valley will open on October 30 in tandem with the Permanent Collection exhibition. As a local multidisciplinary artist\, Jeff Muhs has worked in a variety of mediums and genres and this exhibition will feature both his sculptural works as well as his paintings. In 2018\, Muhs participated in Guild Hall’s annual Artist Members Exhibition where he received the Top Honors award for his concrete sculpture Callipyge\, selected by Connie Choi\, Associate Curator at The Studio Museum of Harlem. The prize for the recipient of the top honor is a solo exhibition in the Spiga Gallery. \nThe Uncanny Valley originates from a sculptural process the artist calls “Dynamic Free Casting.” By discovering this method\, the artist has developed new means for forming concrete\, all while embracing its inherent fluidity and weight. By pushing the physical limits of the materials as well as his own ability to manipulate\, he has discovered a personal source of infinite creativity.    \n“The Uncanny Valley is a hypothesized relationship between the degree of an objects’ resemblance to a human being and the emotional response to such an object\,“ shared artist Jeff Muhs. “For me\, The Uncanny Valley was the moment when I first saw the results of my concrete sculpture as flesh. What had previously been an exploration of more architectural forms\, by manor of my process\, presented itself as flesh-like. I have been participating in the Guild Hall Artist Members Exhibition for about 25 years. I see it as a great focal point for our creative community. An opportunity for camaraderie and to share our artistic expressions with one another. It is a great honor to have been chosen as the Top Honors recipient for my sculpture and to be awarded the opportunity to exhibit at this cultural institution\, so rich in the history of our local artistic community and 20th century art.” \nSpiga Gallery \n\nFitted face masks are required for all guests over the age of 2 indoors regardless of vaccination status\, except when eating or drinking.

Woodhouse dedicated Guild Hall as a cultural center for the community\, The New York Times noted that Howard Russell Butler’s portrait of Thomas Moran on exhibit was not a loan but an acquisition. “It marks the beginning of a permanent collection which is proposed to build up in Guild Hall\,” the newspaper explained. \nFrom the beginning 90 years ago\, the holdings have grown significantly in size and scope. In the early 1960’s\, the collection began to focus on the artists who have lived and worked in the region\, including some of the country’s most celebrated painters\, sculptors\, photographers and graphic artists. In 1973\, the museum received the distinction of being accredited by the American Alliance of Museums\, and it was reaccredited in 2010. Today\, the holdings of 19th\, 20th and 21st century art number some 2\,200 objects\, and the museum continues to acquire works by donation and acquisition.   \nWith its close proximity to New York City\, the East End became a popular tourist destination with the onset of the Long Island Railroad in the late 19th century. The LIRR was very active in marketing the charms of the region by distributing thousands of brochures and leaflets. In the 1870s\, Hudson River School painters portrayed the white sand beaches of eastern Long Island. Winslow Homer came to visit in 1872\, and in 1878 a group of New York artists known as the Tile Club traveled to the East End and visited several of its small villages\, including East Hampton. Thomas Moran and his family settled permanently in 1884. His home and studio became the center of life for artists who visited the village. In the teens\, twenties and thirties\, many artists\, including Guy Pene du Bois and George Bellows\, visited the area. Later after WWII\, the Surrealists\, aided by artist and philanthropist Gerald Murphy\, were welcomed guests. They were followed by the Abstract Expressionist artists Jackson Pollock\, Lee Krasner and Willem de Kooning; Pop artists Roy Lichtenstein\, James Rosenquist and Andy Warhol; Photorealists Audrey Flack and Chuck Close; 80’s and 90’s Neo-expressionist artists Eric Fischl\, David Salle; as well as many contemporary artists\, such as Ross Bleckner\, Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince. These artist-residents continue to make the East End the country’s foremost art colony. \n\nFitted face masks are required for all guests over the age of 2 indoors regardless of vaccination status\, except when eating or drinking.

SUMMARY:Neo–Tile Club: Community Exhibition - 2021 Guild Hall Community Artist-In-Residence: Scott Bluedorn
DESCRIPTION:The historic Tile Club\, founded in 1872\, was a group of artists in New York City who met regularly to paint on tile\, a popular surface of the coinciding decorative arts movement. Among the artists in the club were William Merritt Chase\, Winslow Homer\, and architect Stanford White. When the Long Island Railroad expanded to Montauk in the late 1870s\, The Tile Club was invited to ride to the eastern-most tip of Long Island and paint what they saw\, making these western artists some of the first to visit the East End\, initiating the long history of art in the area. \nInspired by this club\, Scott Bluedorn focused his 2021 Guild Hall Community Artist-in-Residence project on the history\, practice\, and revitalization of The Tile Club. Throughout the 2021 summer season\, Scott led 6 free workshops\, some en plein-air\, during which ceramic tiles were given to participants along with a demo and discussion of the history of the Tile Club. Participants were asked to donate at least one completed tile to the Education Corridor Exhibition. The exhibition and project are in tandem with Guild Hall’s current exhibition\, 90Years: Selections from the Permanent Collection that includes original Tile Club paintings c. 1875\, on view in the education corridor from October 30 through January 2\, 2022. \nWe are extremely thankful to all those who participated in this project and contributed their artwork to this exhibition. We would also like to thank the East Hampton Historical Society for the use of Mulford Farm as a plein-air painting site\, and to the local builders Wirth & Company\, Lori and Roy Dalene\, and Andrew Fetherston for donating tiles. \nCommunity participants included Leo A.\, Sofia Abboud\, Labbeb Abboud\, Pamela Abrahams\, Michele Abramsky\, Paul Abramsky\, Casey Chalem Anderson\, Cassandra Bajan\, Rachael Barash\, Beth Barry\, Jim Bergesen\, Scott Bluedorn\, Ivy Brondo\, Jen Brondo\, Joe Brondo\, Tanessa Cabe\, Lisa Claisse\, Bonnie Comley\, Donna Corvi\, Casey Dalene\, Barbara Dayton\, Elaine Dia\, Mare Dianora\, Ollie Dianora Brondal\, Nova D’Innocenza\, Gina D’Orazio\, AG Duggan\, Andrew Fetherston\, Kurt Ghie\, Kimberly Goff\, Laurie Hall\, Gizella Harte\, Janet Jennings\, Miren Kova\, Frankie Lane\, Lenny Lane\, Stewart Lane\, Teresa Lawler\, Alexandra Lopez\, Setha Low\, Sara McLaughlin\, Kathleen McLaughlin\, Rich Mothes\, Jamie Pancella\, Mark Perry\, Dalton Portella\, Luca R.\, Gabriele T. Raacke\, Guilia Ratto\, Adrienne Ratto\, Tina Ripperger\, Nora Ripperger\, Caroline Scherr\, Andréa Sher\, Karen Solimando\, Sabina Streeter\, Rebecca Sullivan\, Sean Sullivan\, Deborah Walley\, and ZSG. \n\nFitted face masks are required for all guests over the age of 2 indoors regardless of vaccination status\, except when eating or drinking.
