Celebrate Spring With East Hampton’s LongHouse Reserve During The 26th Annual Rites Of Spring

The LongHouse Reserve is ready to celebrate the passing of winter and get ready for a flower-filled spring as the East Hampton-based reserve and sculpture garden is hosting its annual Rites of Spring on Saturday, April 29 from 2 to 5 p.m.

There are a million daffodil blossoms of several varieties blossoming at the LongHouse Reserve as well as hundreds of flowering trees now at their peak. In addition to the spectacular floral sight, new works by John Chamberlain, Marylyn Dintenfass, John Crawford, Judith Kensley McKie, Mark Mennin, Bernar Venet, and Fred Wilson will be unveiled at LongHouse’s season opening.

“It is our pleasure at LongHouse to astonish our visitors with new sculptures, changed gardens, pathways in different directions and art at every turn,” said Dianne B., LongHouse Reserve Board President. “Now in its 26th year, Rites of Spring has become our tradition and a wonderful gathering of like-minded friends plus those experiencing LongHouse for the first time.”

Two of Chamberlain’s monumental aluminum foil works will be installed at the Reserve from April 2017 until October 2018. The works are entitled FROSTYDICKFANTASY (2008) and PINEAPPLESURPRISE (2010). Chamberlain’s 60-year career produced several impressive works, including several 15-feet tall works constructed from silver and copper colored industrial aluminum, which has been looped and flexed into whimsical forms. Be on the lookout for these sculptures throughout your walk in the gardens where the sculptures’ formal connection to nature will be exemplified.

Dintenfass is a worldwide-recognized artist whose work can be found in major public, corporate and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum, Cleveland Museum, Detroit Institute, and the Smithsonian Art Museum. Her 2010 Parallel Park installation in Fort Meyers, FL was one of its largest and most noteworthy of the last decade. Her eye-catching work Almost Like the Blues (2017) will be on display at the Reserve.

Crawford worked as an apprentice in Italy during the late ’70s and early ’80s, which developed his impressive forging skills alongside a blacksmith fabricating farm tools. Today his sculptures of organic repeated shapes seemingly woven or knitted together are visually strong and fluid. “It’s important to me that I make my own work. The way these sculptures look is the result of close contact and working directly much the same way someone is working with a pencil. You can’t legislate drawing,” said Crawford. His work has appeared in Art in America, Sculpture Magazine, and The New York Times.

McKie is a self-taught furniture maker who began working as an artist to merely furnish her own home. She improved her skills tremendously over time by trial and error. McKie is inspired by ancient Greek and Egyptian art, Pre-Columbian, African, Indian, and Eskimo cultures and folk art. She is the recipient of the Massachusetts ARtistsFoundation Fellowship, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award-winner, and is featured in a book by Trapp and Risatti on American craft. McKie’s two bronze pieces, The Fish Bench and Sea Gull Chair, will be on display at the Reserve.

Mennin is a graduate of Princeton University and has exhibited his monumental granite, onyx, and marble carvings around the world. Public commissions are plentiful and include installations at the Chelsea Market, Bruce Museum, Massachusetts General Hospital, and multiple universities are the United States. Writer Jack Coraggio said, “Mennin would have been useful in the history of Easter Island. Endowed with a strong back, artful min and dexterous hands, they’re his trifecta…making him a sculptor in demand.”

Venet is a French Conceptual artist known for his curved, mathematically precise metal sculptures, and for his experimentation with materials. His recent works include sculptures on loan in Germany, Austria, and Japan. In 2016 Venet was awarded the International Sculpture Center’s Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.

Wilson describes himself as of “African, Native American, European, and Amerindian” descent. He was born in 1954 in the Bronx, NY and has spent his career as a conceptual artist. Wilson’s work has been featured at the Venice Biennale, Studio Museum in Harlem, Maryland Historical Society, Neuberger Museum of Art, and Pace Gallery.

“Our welcome of the season and the first of our many events,” she added. “Do come.”

Tickets to Rites of Spring are $10 for non-members and free for members.

LongHouse Reserve is located at 133 Hands Creek Road in East Hampton. For more information, call 631-329-3568 or visit www.longhouse.org.

  • Nancy Atlas Returns to Bay Street Theater by Popular Demand

The iconic Nancy Atlas will be returning to Bay Street on October 7th at 8 pm. For over the last twenty years, this prolific songwriter, entertainer, mother, and community leader has been a stalwart presence on the East End, helping others often while perhaps neglecting her own needs.

For her fans, the last twenty-plus years of great shows have gone by quickly, but so has the journey of real life. She responded to this notion by saying, “I am glad (folks) remember it sweetly! It’s a mire of thorns and roses for sure. The best parenting advice I ever received actually came from Little Anthony (Speck in the Sea), who told us to pull our kids closer when they are going through rough patches and, shall we say, making the wrong decision. And when I say that, I don’t mean it with rose-colored glasses. We get into the thick of it with them and try to guide them through it. This generation has a lot to navigate, and I actually sympathize with them. Snapchat. Pandemics. They’ve been handed a full deck of cards as young adults.” @nancyatlas @baystreettheater

  • Enjoy the Warmth of Community This Fall at LongHouse

LongHouse Reserve is unbelievably beautiful. Whether you’re here for the summer or visiting from out of town, LongHouse is a must-visit. It’s not just a place for art but a true community hub offering tranquility and a chance to marvel at nature’s wonders. It’s a sanctuary of peace.

This fall, there’s a buzz in the air, thanks to the efforts of LongHouse director Carrie Rebora Barratt, who is a relatively new local herself. She’s been working to create more engaging community events and has extended LongHouse’s open season well into the fall and possibly even the winter. @longhousereserve

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac
