"Triple Gaga" by Bonnie Lautenberg
A two part exhibit, "The Golden Age of Rock 'N' Roll" will be held at The Studio in East Hampton and The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton this weekend with paintings and photographs of past and present music icons on display. Part one is at The Studio. The grand opening will take place on Saturday and features a book signing for Punks, Poets, and Provocateurs: New York City Bad Boys, 1977–1982 by Marcia Resnick from 5 to 6 PM. An opening reception will follow from 6 to 8 PM.
Adoni Astrinakis "Kurt" This iconic photography exhibit's narrative is drenched in imaginative storytelling, with glimpses of rare images of the top icons in the music industry, onstage and behind the scenes. The show features photographs by Chris Foster, Karen Bystedt, Marcia Resnick, David Gamble, Steven Pike, Susan Wood, Lori Pavsner and Steve Joester.
A limited edition print by Jack Mitchell
The show will mark the debut of an exclusive limited edition from the estate of photographer Jack Mitchell. This limited edition is a 17" x 22" photographic enlarged print of a session proof sheet with John Lennon and Yoko Ono's markings in grease pencil, indicating their selections for publication, made November 3, 1980. This was the only time The New York Times ever allowed a subject photo approval. Mitchell photographed Lennon and Ono on November 2, 1980 – and it turned out to be a historic session. It was the first time in five years that Lennon had been photographed professionally, and the last comprehensive photo session of his life. Tragically, just weeks later, Lennon was murdered. Part two will be held at The White Room Gallery and will feature paintings and photographs by Bonnie Lautenberg, EJ Camp, Laura Benjamin, Evad, Adoni Astrinakis, Steve Joester and Jason Poremba.
Jason Poremba "Elvis"
An artists reception will be held on Sunday from 5 to 7 PM. The show runs through June 5. Using mixed media, Poremba and Joester capture the essence of rock idols. View EVAD's glittering interpretation of Rock Stars, Lautenberg's alluring and in your face photography, as well as Camp's seductive, telling portraits of classic rockers. Who else would take candy wrappers and create striking portraits as Benjamin does with Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger? The gallery also introduces Astrinakis, showing three paintings from his series "The 27 Club," featuring the works "Amy," "Kurt" and "Hendrix."
