MARY HEILMANN: WATER WAY

Marks Family Gallery North and Tito Spiga Exhibition Space

Mary Heilmann: Water Way will be the artist’s first significant solo presentation with an institution on the East End of Long Island, where she has been an integral part of the region’s creative community for decades. From California to New York City to Bridgehampton, Heilmann has prioritized living in close proximity to water, which has had a profound influence on her life and work. Whether as a direct image or referential title, water has long been a recurring theme throughout her practice.

Guild Hall is pleased to realize an exhibition that Heilmann has had a strong desire to stage—one that brings together over 45 works of a focused area of her output, spanning from the 1980s through the present.

This exhibition is organized by Melanie Crader, director of visual arts with Philippa Content, museum registrar and exhibition coordinator.

DANCE OUT EAST: MUSIC FROM THE SOLE

Blurring the line between concert, dance, and music performance, Music From The Sole is a tap dance and live music company that celebrates tap’s roots in the African diaspora. Co-founders composer and bassist Gregory Richardson and Brazilian tap dancer and choreographer Leonardo Sandoval, draw from Afro-Brazilian, jazz, soul, house, rock, and Afro-Cuban styles.

After multiple residencies through Guild Hall’s William P. Rayner Artists-in-Residence program, the company will share a preview of their newest work, House Is Open, Going Dark culminating the company’s technical residency at Guild Hall.

This program is part of the inaugural DANCE OUT EAST festival, taking place January 9, 10, and 11. A collaboration between Guild Hall, The Church, The Watermill Center, and Works & Process, DANCE OUT EAST provides unique insight into the process and preparation of new choreographed works that will sequence into the Works & Process Underground Uptown Dance Festival at the Guggenheim Museum.

Levai, joined by art critic Barry Schwabsky, will moderate a discussion between artists Sayre Gomez and Jamian Juliano-Villani, which will focus on their respective exhibitions at The Ranch and the legacies of Jack Goldstein and Mike Kelley.  The panel discussion coincides with the completion of the publication for Jack Goldstein | Sayre Gomez, a two-person exhibition exploring the pair’s intergenerational connections.

GALLERY TOUR: ARTIST MEMBERS EXHIBITION HONOREES

Awards Juror Storm Ascher, founder of Superposition Gallery and The Hamptons Black Arts Council, selected Michael A. Butler of Sag Harbor as the Top Honors recipient for his work Lilies of the Field.

In addition to the Top Honors prize, Ascher awarded Honorable Mentions to Lilah Yektai, Ross Watts, Anita Giraldo, Raphael Ogoe, and Kenneth Jackson.

The Artist Members Exhibition began in 1938, and Guild Hall continues this long-standing democratic tradition by hosting the oldest non-juried museum exhibition on Long Island. This lively presentation features more than three hundred works and showcases a variety of mediums. As in the traditional salon exhibition, works by established artists are exhibited alongside those of emerging talents and first-time exhibitors, offering a sampling of artistic practices within our community. This initiative provides an opportunity for audiences to support and celebrate the artists who live and work in our immediate region and for artists to sell their works. In turn, artists show their commitment to and support of Guild Hall. Early participants included James Brooks, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Alfonso Ossorio, Charlotte Park, Jackson Pollock, and many more.

Guild Hall invites nationally and internationally recognized art professionals to select the Top Honors Award and Honorable Mentions. The recipient of the Top Honors Award is given a future solo exhibition at Guild Hall.
