Southampton Arts Center has extended its outdoor sculpture exhibition, “Organic Abstraction: Contemporary Outdoor Sculpture II,” through Sunday, November 2. Originally scheduled to close October 7, the exhibition will remain on view throughout the fall to allow visitors additional time to experience the work in a seasonal setting.
Curated by Cheryl Sokolow of C Fine Art’s Hamptons Sculpture Sights, the exhibition features a selection of large-scale sculptures by internationally recognized artists. The works explore form, material and process within a formalist, nonnarrative framework.
Participating artists include Alex Barrett, Bill Barrett, Kevin Barrett, John Clement, Matt Devine, Carole Eisner, Micheal Enn Sirvet, Jerelyn Hanrahan, Jane Manus, Norman Mooney and Joel Perlman.
“Organic Abstraction II” continues Southampton Arts Center’s initiative to bring art beyond the gallery and into the natural environment of its historic grounds. The exhibition is free and open to the public, and visitors are encouraged to explore the sculptures in the context of the changing autumn landscape.
Sokolow has long specialized in placing large-scale sculpture in both public and private spaces. Her curatorial focus emphasizes minimalist, abstract forms and the expressive potential of sculptural materials.
Southampton Arts Center is located at 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton. For more information, visit southamptonartscenter.org.
