Rites of Spring: LongHouse Reserve
Celebrated artists, including Yoko Ono, Sol Lewitt, and Toshiko Takaezu, have had their work shown at the splendid arts center LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton. In celebration of the new season, the reserve hosted its Rites of Spring event in the sprawling, art-festooned, worldclass gardens. Children and their parents helped the multimedia artist Maren Hassinger create her Monuments installation, which can Livia and Benjamin Lubell be seen all summer long. Hassinger’s works were made by weaving winter branches found on the grounds. Visitors also oohed and aahed at Wyatt Kahn’s three COR-TEN steel sculptures: Parade, Painting the Painter, and Umbrella, created in partnership with the Public Art Fund. The reserve is a 16-acre sculpture garden and natural sanctuary, a living case study of the interaction between plants, art, and people. longhouse.org
