Musings With Giancarlo Impiglia hide in order to kill.”
By Bridget LeRoy
Impiglia is pleased with the works chosen for the exhibition in Southampton, which spans about 20 years of his work up to the present. “I have included some of the more familiar, older works, which are always about the façade. See and be seen, hiding behind wealth, the preoccupation of appearances. And my work is still about hiding, the camouflage versus the faceless elegance. It is a different way to hide, hiding behind wealth and glamor, and now with this series, it shows wars, hidden behind false reasons, creating fear and hatred when they are really about money and power.”
The term “faceless elegance” would most accurately describe the work that internationallyrenowned artist Giancarlo Impiglia is best known for. The Italian-born artist – a longtime Bridgehampton resident -- rose to recognition in the ‘80s with his colorful paintings depicting tall, slim party-goers, merging into one image, defined by their clothing and jewelry rather than their expressionless countenances. The Southampton Cultural Center is exhibiting a myriad of works by Impiglia in its gallery, spanning not only his Cubist and Futurist-based more familiar and older works, but abstracts and a series of new paintings markedly different from the customary.
In the past few years Impiglia, increasingly perturbed by the incomprehensible rise in international violence, has returned to the inspiration of the Renaissance and Baroque masters, who at the time shocked the European art world with brutal Biblical and mythological images, but Impiglia has added his own twist. “It is important, in this historic moment,” he said. “There is not just street violence, but political violence; the insane wars that are going on in the 21st century. It is just mesmerizing because we are a supposedly civilized country, right? But we are still building weaponry in order to intimidate the others. And the others are doing the same.”

Impiglia was recently rereading
the works of mid-century philosopher Herbert Marcuse. “He brought up that modern society lives in a constant state of fear. So that is our evolution. Our industrial development is to be prepared against the enemy. But the enemy is doing the same thing on the other side. So here is this industrial phenomenon that creates jobs, but also kills.” In one painting from his latest collection, The Embrace, Impiglia reimagines Caravaggio’s St. Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy, but the angel is now a young man mourning a death, and the saint is a soldier. The whole is placed against a camouflage background – one of a series that Impiglia created – of greens and gold leaf with splashes of red. The effect conveys the horrors of war and
cost of life.
“Caravaggio was a rebel,” Impiglia said. “He shook up the late Renaissance of Michelangelo and Raphael, and he created, for that time, something like a new-release movie, a chronicle of the day. Violence, intimidation, anger -but in an artistic, mostly religious context. I wanted to revisit those images in a contemporary context.” Another painting by Impiglia, A Meditation on War, seems, again, almost to be painted by a different artist altogether. Depicting a walking Buddha against a blue camo background, lotuses falling all around, the work offers peace in the midst of violence. “Camouflage is part of the arsenal,” the artist explained. “We
Like many others, Impiglia and his wife, Nina, were drawn to the East End by its beauty. But that is where the similarity between Impiglia and many of his artist contemporaries stops. “I have never been interested in painting pretty landscapes,” he said. “Artists should be involved politically, because politics are a part of our daily life. So if we are granted this little gift, this power, of presenting our opinion through our work, then it is a matter of conscience.” A second reception for the show “Rhythms of Color” at the Southampton Cultural Center will be held on July 6 from 5 to 7 PM. Gallery goers can visit the exhibition Friday and Saturdays from noon to 6 PM and Sundays through Thursdays from noon to 4 PM until July 31. For more information, visit the website sccarts.org.

Melissa Rivers is now on the board at GLWD to further her mom’s commitment.
I have been to the newly renovated GLWD building in Soho where about 1.5 million meals are prepared in its amazing kitchen and delivered throughout an entire year. GLWD named its bakery after Joan -- the Joan Rivers Bakery -- where Chuck “The Baker” Piekarski’s famous brownies make for the best gifts.

Jennifer Fisher Jewelry: A Truly Happy Accident
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
Jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher revealed the inspiring story of how she started her famous jewelry brand, through adversity, as a truly happy accident.
The designer will host a trunk show on June 30 in East Hampton. The show is presented by Amex Platinum, as part of their Platinum Collective, and will be held at the celebrated Grey Gardens in East Hampton. Her flourishing jewelry business continues to grow and last month Fisher even launched her own line of organic salt. Tell us your story. How did Jennifer Fisher Jewelry begin? It was a lucky break. I studied business marketing at USC with a fine art minor. I was convinced I wanted to work on the advertising side at a fashion magazine. During a brief internship of watching the other interns in the fashion department roll racks of designer clothing by as I was crunching 30
ad numbers, I knew I was on the wrong side of the magazine.
At the time, one of my best friends was working under a commercial director who needed a new wardrobe stylist. I took a chance and accepted the job without any commercial styling experience. After my first commercial with him, I became his regular stylist and we spent the next 10 years working together on major national ad campaigns from American Express to Budweiser. Timing is truly everything.
I was diagnosed with a desmoid tumor while I was living and styling in NYC for an LA-based director. I received multiple rounds of chemotherapy at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and at St. Vincent’s in New York and I continued to work throughout the entire process. Being diagnosed with anything is always scary but finding out I had a very rare tumor with no guaranteed form of treatment was the scariest time of my life. It changed everything.
My husband Kevin proposed to me in the middle of my chemotherapy treatment and we were married a year later - six months after I finished my treatment. When we wanted to have children, my oncologist didn’t think it was a good idea for me to carry the baby because my tumor grows from estrogen, so we went through the process of hiring a surrogate to carry for us in California, where Kevin and I both grew up and our families still live. After multiple rounds of IVF where the surrogate was pregnant twice and miscarried twice, I came back to New York and decided to try IVF on my own, against my doctor’s orders. Unsuccessful yet again, they recommended that we adopt or get an egg donor.
We needed a break from it all and took the summer off. That’s when I became pregnant with my son Shane, naturally. Against the wishes of my oncologist I carried the baby. A perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby boy later, we learned that my tumor had actually shrunk from the
pregnancy. After Shane was born, I began receiving jewelry gifts to represent him in the form of single letters that were very dainty and frankly not my style. His birth was a major deal for us, and I wanted something to wear that represented him in a way that felt like me. Being a stylist makes you pretty resourceful, so I went up to 47th Street in the jewelry district in New York and began knocking on doors, working out how I could create something myself. My first piece of jewelry was a dog tag to represent my son Shane. I was wearing it every day while on set and started to get multiple requests for the same necklace. I then happened to make a necklace for Uma Thurman that she wore on the cover of the July 2006 issue of Glamour magazine. Jennifer Fisher Jewelry was born.
I started a website selling fine jewelry direct very early on. This gave the line global reach. I truly believe that the early timing of this coincided with the beginning of the online shopping boom, resulting in

Indy Style a truly happy accident.
After six years of only selling fine jewelry, I was lucky to have garnered a pretty significant following and in order to offer jewelry to a growing customer base, I decided to expand the line with the launch of the brass collection, focusing on large statement pieces at a more accessible price point. Tell us about the upcoming trunk show at Grey Gardens. On June 30 we will be hosting our annual Hamptons summer trunk show. Given my new partnership with American Express Platinum as a member of the Platinum Collective, I had heard of their takeover of the Grey Gardens estate. I realized this would be the perfect location for us to host our trunk show. There is something truly special about a private shopping experience in such an iconic home that has such a storied past. What are some of your favorites places to go in The Hamptons? Dopo La Spiaggia in Sag Harbor for their ravioli, when I take a night off from being gluten and dairy free. Country Garden, the farmstand on Scuttlehole Road, for the best green hot sauce. Atlantic Avenue beach for picnics. Clamman in Southampton for the freshest seafood. Tell us about some of the celebrities who wear your jewelry. We have had a ton of success with
our hoop earrings on celebrities - they have gained a somewhat cult following. To name a few, we have seen placements on Kerry Washington, Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Mandy Moore, and Lupita Nyong’o. When I first started the brand we had a lot of support from celebrity moms who wore our fine jewelry, like Thurman, Naomi Watts, and Nicole Kidman. As the brand grew and we launched the brass collection. Its bold vibe quickly became popular among musicians like Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and most recently Jennifer Lopez, who began to wear the pieces in music videos and to their performances. What are you looking forward to the most this summer in The Hamptons? Weekends with my best friends Charlie and Lauran at their house in Water Mill. Alongside Charlie, I am the resident guest chef and together we are on call all weekend. It has become tradition that I bring out a loaf of my mom’s banana bread whenever I visit. I am really looking forward to our trunk show on June 30 and meeting my customers in person. Tells us about your organic salt. The salt began like my jewelry collection; it was a happy accident. I call my salt “Universal Salt” because it can (and should) be used on everything. I was looking for something to season my eggs in the morning that did not contain onion or garlic and when I couldn’t find it I created my own dish of custom-
blended salt next to the stove. I ended up sending jars of salt to magazine editors for holiday gifts and it was such a hit that we started to get requests for refills when the editors used it up. This past year we looked in to packaging the salt in New Jersey so that we could sell it on our website – it was a process but well worth it. I don’t plan on
stopping with my Universal Salt so stay tuned for our next launch this coming fall. For more info visit www. jenniferfisherjewelry.com. To RSVP for the trunk show on June 30 at Grey Gardens email rsvp@ jenniferfisherjewelry.com.

Tales From Ashawagh Hall
HE'S A ROCKSTAR!
Independent/James J. Mackin
By Bridget LeRoy
When Marijane Meaker – also known as the famed young adult novelist ME Kerr – ran an ad in a local newspaper to see if other writers would be interested in a writing workshop in Springs, she probably didn’t know what she was starting. But over 30 years later, the Ashawagh Hall Writers Workshop is still going strong, and will offer a taste of its latest creations in a reading at the East Hampton Library tonight. “Writing is lonely work,” said the group’s leader, Laura Stein. “The workshop gives writers a community. When you’re writing, you see everything so fully in your mind, but you don’t really know what you’ve conveyed onto the page. The workshop enables that invaluable feedback from a supportive community.”
Being published is the focus of the workshop, and well over two dozen published works found their start in the attic at Ashawagh Hall. Perhaps the most famous author to emerge is Vincent Lardo, who took over the Archy McNally detective series created by Lawrence Sanders and has penned six New York Times bestsellers. “Obviously, the series was not created in the workshop,” said Stein. “But Vince was put into the running to take over the brand because of his Hamptons mysteries” -- The Hampton Affair and The Hampton Connection – “which did come out of the workshop.”
Another notable book which was born in the attic is TJ Parsell’s Fish: A Memoir of a Boy in a Man’s Prison. Parsell was sent to an adult prison at the age of 17 for stealing a toy gun and suffered unimaginable brutality during his time there. Not only is Fish a successful book in film development, but is taught in criminal justice classes in universities around the world. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would not have been able to write Fish were it not for Marijane Meaker and the group of fellow writers of the Ashawagh Hall Writer’s Workshop,” Parsell said. “It took me a lifetime to arrive at a place emotionally where I was ready to tackle the ghosts that haunted me my entire adult life. My folks at Ashawagh Hall provided the support, the guidance, and the structure I needed to stay on task and get it done.” Parsell has since moved out of state but said of his writers’ group, “I miss them all terribly. It was truly a life-changing experience.”
After Meaker retired from the workshop in 2014, Laura Stein was elected to continue to head the program. “It was a huge adjustment that first year,” she acknowledged. “I had been a member for 17 years, and suddenly I was the leader. But I love it. To see the work that comes out of the group, and the support, is inspiring.” The Ashawagh Hall Writers

Andrew Saffir & Daniel Benedict
By Zachary Weis WHO:
Andrew Saffir & Daniel Benedict INSTAGRAM: @CinemaSociety & @ DanielBenedict ABOUT: Andrew Saffir is the founder of the Cinema Society, and hosts some of The Hamptons’ hottest and most sought after movie nights and parties. His partner, Daniel Benedict, is the co-founder of Amplify Partners, a luxury marketing firm. FAVORITE LOCAL SPOTS: Tutto il Giorno in Southampton - We love sitting in their chic
and cozy candelit garden in the evenings, gorging on their perfect pastas and burrata.
Crow’s Nest in Montauk Reminds us of our favorite restaurant in Jose Ignacio, Uruguay (La Huella). Sexy vibe and delicious food, with a very cool Montauk crowd. Round Swamp Farm in East Hampton - Our favorite farm stand. Carolyn Snyder and her family have been running it to perfection for years (They get up before 4 AM every morning!) and we make numerous stops here every weekend for the best produce, fruit pies, raspberry lemonade, and Daniel’s weakness, their Ultimate Cookies.

Guest Worthy Recipe : Dan Churchill
By Zachary Weiss
Charred Peach Barley Salad
WHO: Dan Churchill
WHY?
INSTAGRAM:
Summer is the best time of year to enjoy that outside feasting occasion. Personally I get excited just turning the grill on (Don’t get me started on hearing that first sizzle). The Charred Peach Barley Salad makes the perfect summer dish as it nourishes your healthy vibe without making you feel heavy. My friends love seeing the final mix after grilling the peaches. So wait till the last minute to get your combination on.
@DanChurchill ABOUT: Dan Churchill is a chef and author, with a Masters degree in exercise science. His tastiness can be seen on ABC’s Emmy Award-winning program “The Chew” and Food Network. He is also a host of “Surfing The Menu, Next Generation” seen on ABC Australia and Discovery throughout the world. He also appears on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” having established a common ground with the American population. With three cookbooks (Dudefood, The Healthy Cook, Surfing The Menu), a NYC restaurant opening in 2017, other TV ventures and a busy digital outreach, Dan’s mission is make people happier, and food is his tool to do that. “The power of food is amazing in what it can do to bring people together.”
Its vibrant color will also match all your friends’ lovely dresses (you’re welcome, fellas) which will only add to the party occasion. Whether it is for one, two, or for a summer party, it is a really convenient way to jazz up any eating occasion.
Although it can be seen as the side dish to a tasty grilling situation, this textured board can satisfy everyone just on its own. If you want to go gluten-free, simply swap the barley for quinoa. You can also add your favorite protein if you wish. Just a good olive oil, salt and pepper, grill, and game on! INGREDIENTS: 1 c barley
2 peaches, sliced into eighths Large bowl of arugula 1/3 c goat cheese 1/2 c walnuts
DIRECTIONS: Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan and add your barley, cook for 10 to 12 minutes until slightly soft but still holding its shape
Drain barley and refresh under cold water to stop it from cooking Cook sliced peaches on a grill on medium heat for 1 minute on each side or until they get a nice char, remove and set aside
In a large bowl combine barley, arugula, goat cheese, walnuts, olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, then fold in your peaches and enjoy
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper

Recipe Of The Week by Chef Joe Cipro
Cranberry And White Chocolate Crumb Cake Ingredients (makes 20 cupcakes) Cake 1/2 lb butter (room temperature) 1 c granulated sugar 3 eggs
2 tbs mayonnaise
1/2 c dried cranberries
1/2 c white chocolate chips Topping 3/4 c light brown sugar 1 tbsp all purpose flour
2 c cake flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1tsp ground all spice
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp cold butter (cut into small pieces)
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c plain greek yogurt
1/2 c chopped pecans 1/2 c almond flour
Method Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line the muffin tin with paper liners. Use the paddle attachment on your stand mixer and cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix until light and fluffy. Sift the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix the wet ingredients together as well: mayonnaise, sour cream, and yogurt. To finish the batter, turn the mixer back on and add the dry and wet ingredients a little at a time,
alternating dry and wet until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Add the cranberries and white chocolate chips and distribute evenly through out the cup cake tin. To make the topping, combine all the dry ingredients except the nuts in a bowl. Slowly, without working the mixture too much, press the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it becomes a crumbly mixture. Fold in the chopped nuts and sprinkle ontop of the muffin batter. Bake until browned for about 20 to 25 minutes.

Here’s To Montauk Brew
By Nicole Teitler
It was Memorial Day weekend last year when a friend decided to introduce me to the “real Montauk.” I’ve been coming to The Hamptons for years, but Montauk always felt like an exhausting drive past the key points along Route 27 (that is why it’s called “The End” after all). Sure, I’d been to the Lighthouse as a kid, Ditch Plains during my surfing days, and years later -- dare I admit? -- the Sloppy Tuna. But that wasn’t the true vibe of this farout town. We parked at what looked like a cute red house. A Montauk Brewing Company chalkboard sign in front read “First of all, you look awesome today. No joke, like really awesome. That’s it, there is no second of all.” No explanation needed. My friend knew everyone,
she’d clearly been here a few times before.
Inside, I had no idea what to taste first. “Try it all. There’s no judgements here,” the blonde surfer girl employee said to me. I ordered a Summer Ale, seemingly fitting for the situation. With one sip, I was hooked. If this was the authentic experience, I had just soberly stumbled into paradise.
Fast forward to today and I’m a MBC junkie. On top of a few more summer visits, I’d been twice in the cold, winter months and have picked up a few of their ecofriendly cardboard six-packs with aims to purchase their new logo can glass upon my next visit this season. (Seriously, have you seen those things? They’re adorable.) All of which is reason to celebrate the milestone birthday of this

In tribute to their half-decade’s worth of success, the boys have specially brewed a batch of Five Year Beer. This 5.4% ABV is an IPA with blood orange and vanilla bean that will be on tap at the
brewery all day on Friday along with servings at Ruschmeyer’s. Let’s toast to that! To the men who taught us to “come as you are,” but leave feeling better, cheers! Montauk Brewing Company is located at 62 South Erie Avenue in Montauk. The party at Ruschmeyer’s is located at 161 Second House Rd. in Montauk.
