BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY — Water Mill's Parrish Art Museum, as part of its traveling "Road Show", hosted a reading Saturday afternoon at artist Toni Ross’s large-scale installation, “Permanent Transience” on the grounds of Marders Garden Center in Bridgehampton.

The SRO crowd included Parrish director Terrie Sultan, Anne Eisenhower Flottl, granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and her daughter Adriana Echavarria.

Bob Morris recalled mentor Edward Albee before reading a new meditation on his youth.

Jacqueline Weld read from her spirited biography of Peggy Guggenheim, and Greg Hedberg described his recent discoveries about Edgar Degas.

Candace Bushnell, known for "Sex and the City", performed a spirited a cappella reading from a new story — the hilarious escapades of the daughter of an over-sexed reality star.

Betsy Sussler closed the afternoon from a not yet published family saga. Local Sweet’tauk Lemonade was served.

The Parrish Art Museum’s off-site series, Parrish Road Show presents “Permanent Transience,” an installation by Toni Ross remains on view at Marders, 120 Snake Hollow Road, Bridgehampton.
