Southampton - Selections have been completed for "Artists Choose Artists," the Parrish Art Museum's second juried exhibition to celebrate the East End's endurance as an art colony and to encourage engagement and mentorship among local artists. The exhibition will be on view from August 21 through October 9, with an opening reception on Saturday, August 20, at 6 p.m.

For this exhibition, seven distinguished East End artists served as jurors, each making two selections from 200 online submissions and subsequent studio visits. The exhibition will comprise work by the seven jurors and the 14 selected artists and will include painting, sculpture, photography, prints, and mixed media. Associate Curator Andrea Grover and Curatorial Assistant Sam Bridger-Carroll coordinated the selection process. Grover will install the exhibition with Alicia Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education. Selections follow; jurors' names are underscored:

Alice Aycock: Kryn Olson (Sag Harbor) and Mike Solomon (East Hampton)

 • Ross Bleckner: Renate Aller (Westhampton Beach) and Mary Ellen Bartley (Wainscott)

 • Dan Rizzie: Ross Watts (Sag Harbor) and Tad Wiley (Shelter Island)

 • Matthew Satz: Terry Elkins (Bridgehampton) and Liliya Lifanova (Amagansett)

 • Gary Simmons: Perry Burns (Amagansett) and Melinda Hackett (Southampton)

 • Agathe Snow: Alice Hope (East Hampton) and Nella Khanis (Mattituck)

 • Frank Wimberley: Fulvio Massi (Bridgehampton) and Julie Small-Gamby (East Hampton)

Renate Aller has been photographing the Atlantic Ocean for a decade from the same viewpoint on Long Island's South Shore to investigate the relationship between romanticism, memory, and landscape. Mary Ellen Bartley's close-up photographs of books play with abstraction and representation and the associations evoked by books and images. Perry Burns's paintings merge the traditions of Islamic patterning and Abstract Expressionism to cross boundaries of culture, history, religion, race, and ideology. Terry Elkins's paintings, often created en plein air, embrace the rapidly disappearing landscape of the East End. Melinda Hackett's colorful, abstract paintings combine strong colors, densely layered surfaces, and whimsical organisms that seem to move across the picture plane. Invisible and natural forces, including magnetism and metal reactivity, are the mediums of Alice Hope's mixed media wall pieces. Nella Khanis paints with exuberant colors to transform the mundane into the extraordinary.

Working between art, theater, and material investigations, Liliana Lifanova's performance practice depends on research and collaboration over time, fused with her engagement with physical creation and manufacture. Fulvio Massi's paintings proceed from sensations and mix figurative and abstract elements. Kryn Olson works with mixed media and acrylic on canvas to create images inspired by the unseen forces of nature. Julie Small-Gamby's mixed media works on canvas reflect her interest in materials and textures. Mike Solomon works with nylon net, resin, and fiberglass to create sinuous wall sculptures that reflect, in part, his passions for materials and surfing. Ross Watts works in different media to create witty, conceptual works that embrace ambiguity. Tad Wiley's oil-based enamel paintings on wood apply luminous color to abstract, architectural forms.

The Museum's programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State's 62 counties, and the property taxpayers from the Southampton School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.
