Continued forward movement, a series of actions or measures, or a method of operation all define “process” for a group of artists in a multimedia exhibit curated by Dennis Leri. “Process: The Workshop Show” will open at Ashawagh Hall in Springs on Saturday at noon, with a reception later that day from 4 to 8 p.m.

Betty Lipton, Setha Low, Elise Platt, Gabriele Raacke, Catherine Silver, and Rose Zelenetz will “reverse the usual presentation of completed work and instead reflect on procedures and transformations in their individual mediums.”

Drawing upon energy generated in the workshop setting, and with the encouragement of Mr. Leri, the artists dispensed with the goal of a “finished product” and allowed for a “synergy to emerge” through mixed-media works that range from ceramic, metal, and wood sculpture to collages of found objects, glass, and natural fibers with paint and ink.

The show can also be seen Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

From the East Hampton Star:

Forty artists have joined together to present works on the “State of Purgatory” in an exhibit at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. It can be seen on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Historical and modern conceptions of purgatory from temporary postmortem suffering of the soul to a condition of emotional or spiritual torment followed by purification will be explored.

Among the many artists on view will be Roisin Bateman, John Capello, Trish Franey, Tracy Harris, Setha Low, Kristi Hood, Jonathan Morse, and Dan Welden. A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Susan Rockford and Setha Low will join forces in the exhibit “Topographies,” opening tomorrow with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Walk Tall Gallery in East Hampton.

Herndon Kennedy, Mary Antczak, Abby Abrams, Linda Butti, Trish Franey, Kate Castoro, Annette Heller, Jana Hayden, Ruby Jackson, Francis Nenikot, Setha Low, Betty Lipton, Lisa Weston, and Sally Richardson.

The morning before Setha Low’s show opened at the Crazy Monkey Gallery in Amagansett, the sculptor and newcomer to the East End art scene arrived at the gallery with a trunk-load of clay pots, ceramic bodices, and wall hangings all suggestive of ancient cultures, but strikingly modern in their form.
