Join us at Main Beach on four consecutive Saturday nights – September 10, 17, 24, and October 1 between 6-10PM for a series of unmissable happenings!
In collaboration with Guild Hall’s Museum Director/Chief Curator Christina Mossaides Strassfield, artist Warren Neidich will curate performances and time-based exhibitions at Main Beach on select Saturdays in East Hampton. Swept Away is meant to take place at the water’s edge between 6-10PM, and the syncopated sound of the surf will provide the background acousmatics. This poetic project in some ways harkens back to the “Happenings” staged by Allan Kaprow across the South Fork in 1966.
Artists living on the East End will be asked to participate in momentary performative gestures of immateriality, like making sandcastles, singing a song, reciting poetry, making a sculpture that interacts with the tide, using natural color dyes to make temporary paintings in the tide, skywriting, and more.
