It was only a matter of time before the concept of pop-up shop morphed into pop-up gallery. And now that much of the art world has decamped to the Hamptons for the remainder of the summer, it makes sense it would happen there. The Art Production Fund and the philanthropist Fabiola Beracasa have created what they are calling an “outdoor pop-up exhibition†located on a vacant lot at 333 Old Montauk Highway, to run Aug. 1 to Sept. 8.
“The idea was to celebrate Montauk’s legacy as a haven for artists,†said Doreen Remen, a founder of the Art Production Fund.
With the help of Gary Carrion-Murayari and Joyce Sitterly from the New Museum in Manhattan, they commissioned site-specific installations by the emerging artists Anya Kielar, Virginia Overton and Olympia Scarry. “These artists are taking into account nature, which is a force unto itself, and our complicated relationship with it,†Ms. Remen said.
