Room, Sea &amp; Sky,'</a> please join us for a rare performance of Morton Feldman’s ‘For Philip Guston' performed by the renowned artist collective AMOC*. Composed in 1984, ‘For Philip Guston,’ a nearly five-hour trio, is Morton Feldman’s poignant homage to Guston, touching on friendship, intransigence, affection, memory, loss and love. The performance will take place within the exhibition ‘Philip Guston. Room, Sea &amp; Sky,’ which investigates the metamorphic qualities of Guston’s practice through his printmaking, particularly towards the end of his life when a heart attack limited his ability to execute large-scale paintings. It was then that he began his collaboration with the famed printshop Gemini GEL and its director Sidney Felsen (1924 – 2024), creating a series of major prints that evolved his practice to its most mature form. FOR PHILIP GUSTON by Morton Feldman performed by: Emi Ferguson, flutes Nathan Davis, percussion Adam Tendler, piano and celeste This event is free to attend, however reservations are required. Extremely limited seating is first come first served throughout the evening, with additional standing room. Guests are encouraged to come and go throughout the performance.

His commitment to producing work from genuine emotion and lived experience ensures its enduring impact. Guston’s legendary career spanned a half century, from 1930 to 1980. His paintings—particularly the liberated and instinctual forms of his late work—continue to exert a powerful influence on younger generations of contemporary painters.
