Artist Connie Fox will lead an intimate gallery talk about her artistic career, creative process, and drawings, on view for the first time, in the exhibition Connie Fox: Self As…, part of the Parrish Art Museum’s Parrish Perspectives series. For her Artist’s View program, Saturday, April 2 at 11am, Fox will be joined by Alicia Longwell, the Museum’s Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator.
The Parrish Art Museum presents Parrish Perspectives, a series of concentrated exhibitions that allows the Museum to respond spontaneously and directly to unique ways of thinking about art, artists, and the creative process, on view from March 13 through April 24. The three distinct exhibitions—Connie Fox: Self As…; Brian Gaman: Vanishing Point; and Lindsay Morris: You Are You—provide visitors with the opportunity to experience timely, relevant work, on view for the first time in a Museum, by these nationally recognized artists with close ties to the East End of Long Island.
Connie Fox: Self As… features an innovative self-portrait series in which Fox melds her own image with self-portraits by German painter Max Beckmann(1884–1950) and photographs of French writer Colette (1873–1954). Brian Gaman: Vanishing Point presents a survey selection of the late artist’s signature series of sculptures and monumentally scaled digital works on paper. Lindsay Morris: You Are You focuses on photographs from Morris’s documentation of a summer camp for gender-nonconforming children and their families.
