Thomas Joshua Cooper: Refuge Opening Conversation - 5/5/19

May 5th, 2019
Thomas Joshua Cooper in conversation with Parrish Director Terrie Sultan on his exhibit Thomas Joshua Cooper: Refuge (May 5, 2019 to July 28, 2019) Throughout his career, Thomas Joshua Cooper has been preoccupied with water as a focal point for his abiding fascination with the landscape, historical and cultural geography, cartography, and the problems of picture-making. Thomas Joshua Cooper: Refuge, features more than 49 photographs, anchored by the 20 images Cooper made along the coastal and inland waterways and interior landscapes throughout the East End of Long Island’s North and South Forks, and Shelter Island. These pictures are framed by a precise selection of pictures made over the course of several years along sites on the Hudson River as it passes through Essex, Warren, Saratoga, Rensselaer, and Dutchess counties, and a select group from Connecticut, Maine, and Massachusetts, which Cooper includes to emphasize his notion of refuge, immigration and settlement. The images of the East End of Long Island were made during Cooper’s 10-day Parrish Art Museum residency.

Mountain Interval with photographer Renate Aller and Parrish Director Terrie Sultan - 5/24/19

May 24th, 2019
Join photographer Renate Aller and Parrish Art Museum Director Terrie Sultan as they discuss Aller’s new book, Mountain Interval. Aller is a contemporary photographer from Germany based in New York. As a child, she spent vacations visiting, hiking, and photographing the mountains of Austria, Germany, and Italy, beginning her lifelong appreciation for nature and the outdoors. Her latest project includes mountain peaks from six continents. These photographs were taken from locations as high as 22,500 feet (adjacent to Mount Everest) to the European glaciers and mountain peaks of her childhood vacations. The subject matter is monumental, yet the images connect the viewer in a way that is not overpowering. Aller engages us with these giants in all their detail, the veins and textures of the rocks in their constantly transient state. She isolates the mountain from its expected surroundings, using and presenting the familiar and the known in an intimate way, relating to parallel realities from different locations, opening up conversations between the different (political) landscapes in which we live.

OLA Film Festival: Conversation with Juan Caunedo Domínguez, Director of "Before the Ferry Arrives" - 11/15/19

November 15th, 2019
As part of the OLA Film Festival, organized by the Organización Latino-Americana of Eastern Long Island, the Parrish hosted a special screening of Before the Ferry Arrives, followed by a conversation with Director Juan Caunedo Domínguez, live from Madrid, Spain. The film, a directing debut of Caunedo, alongside Vladimir García and Raúl Escobar Delgado, is a dark comedy that explores the sense of expectation and ambiguity experienced by Cubans when it was announced in 2015 that, after more than 50 years, a ferry service would resume between U.S. and Cuba, Before the Ferry Arrives is a smart portrait of a near-future Havana still in the midst of the restoration of U.S.-Cuba relations. The film, bold in form and structure, mixes elements of animation with live action, experimental and documentary film.

NeueHouse Presents: On Aesthetics and Politics with Tomashi Jackson and Corinne Erni - 9/18/19

NeueHouse Madison Square
September 18th, 2019
 
NeueHouse hosted a conversation with artist Tomashi Jackson and Parrish Art Museum Senior Curator of ArtsReach and Special Projects Corinne Erni about Platform: Tomashi Jackson, the artist’s site-specific exhibition at the Museum in Water Mill (July 12th - October 25th, 2020). Working across painting, video, textiles, and sculpture, Jackson examines the relationship between the aesthetic and the political. She is particularly interested in the movements and migrations of groups of people; and how boundary lines are drawn, maintained, and subverted. Erni and Jackson have been in conversation for the past year about Platform. For this multi-disciplinary project, Jackson will engage with local communities and research the region’s history on racial segregation as a vehicle to juxtapose the artistic legacy of Long Island’s East End with current socio-economic tensions. 

PubSci: Sculptures, Sound, and Simulation - 9/6/19

September 6th, 2019
After the success of PubSci at the Parrish in 2018, scientists from Brookhaven National Lab return for PubSci, a science and art conversation series that takes place in a pub-style setting. Panelists engage the audience in an open discussion on intersections of science and art that shape our world. In this program, a scientist, artists, and composers discuss how nanoscience data generated at Brookhaven Lab’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and National Synchrotron Light Source II can be represented in novel ways using different forms of art. In particular, they will explain how these novel representations can help scientists understand how 3-D nanostructures are organized. The conversation is moderated by Justin Eure.
Panelists: Paul D. Miller a.k.a. DJ Spooky; Kevin Yager of the Brookhaven Lab’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials; Meg Schedel, Associate Professor at the Music Department of Stony Brook University; Melissa Clarke, Co-founder of arts.codes.
