  At Bernd Haussmann 'Nature of things'
  Farm Projects, 355 Main St. in Wellfleet, presents "The Nature of Things", an exhibition of works by Bernd Haussmann from Saturday October 9 to November 1. There will be an opening night from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
  Inspired by a painting by Albrecht Dürer, Haussmann creates Das Gorsse Rasenstuh, a series of watercolors in earth tones and plants on canvas. They represent simple stems and shoots sticking out of the mud. Haussmann invites us to slow down and spend time with what seems mundane. The show is all about nature, and the nature of seeing.

  The exhibition chronicles four other artists, in addition to the two authors, who draw their inspiration and materials from the beaches of Provincetown: Judy Berkowitz, whose sculptures reuse old power saw blades, rusted metal and the rope ; Betty Bodian, whose paintings are inspired by sea glass; Paul Bowen, whose sculptures are constructed from salvaged materials; and the late Varujan Boghosian, to whom the exhibition is dedicated.
  There will be an opening reception and book signing on Thursday, October 7 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm Register at ccmoa.org.

  Curtis Speer presents 'Theresienstadt'
  "Theresienstadt," an exhibition of photographs by Curtis Speer, opens at the CUSP Gallery, 115 Bradford St. in Provincetown on Friday October 8 and runs through October 24. Located in the Czech Republic, Theresienstadt was a detention center for Jews later sent to extermination camps. It was also the site of an elaborate hoax, designed to persuade visitors to the International Red Cross in June 1944 that the prisoners soon to be gassed were happy and well taken care of.
  Speer's work is reverent – detached in its documentary tone but all the more heartbreaking because of it. The spaces are cold and raw – cruelly utilitarian. Empty now, the rooms are steeped in history. Speer doesn't fail to notice the beauty that exists in the light that casts hope on spaces once so full of despair.

  James Frederick thinks
  James Frederick's new exhibition of abstract paintings, titled "Reflection," is inspired by "memories, emotions and experiences," he says. It opens at Frederick Studio Provincetown, 237 Commercial St., on Friday October 8 and runs through October 24.
  The paintings implicitly refer to the sky, clouds and water, as well as tower-like shapes that resemble the Provincetown monument. Alongside pops of warm color, Frederick tempers things with soft, hazy blues. There will be a virtual opening via Facebook on Friday October 8 at 7 p.m.

Curated by Provincetown artists Joerg Dressler and Mike Wright, the exhibition will feature amateurs mingling with masters on an equal footing. The result is full of confirmations and new discoveries. Participation in the show is open to any member in good standing.

  Boston painter Paul Hastings exhibits his work from Friday October 8 to Monday October 11 at Gallery 444, 444 Commercial St. in Provincetown. Hastings is an outdoor painter of some of the lesser-known corners of the streets of Provincetown, working in four to five hour bursts from start to finish.
  "Painting outdoors isn't for everyone," Hastings says. "The elements can be difficult and the light changes quickly, but it forces me to think in a particular way – to focus on the essence of the scene and to capture it quickly."
  Painted with fresh colors and an economy of brushstrokes, his canvases never feel overworked. Cottages, boats, palisades and long shadows exist in a world of nostalgia, populated not by people but by summer flowers and salt air.
