Screening: The Floating Chair at The Bridge Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe are the duo known for creating elaborate set pieces in unlikely places—an intricately designed copy of a meth lab in Marfa, a cyberpunk Hong Kong slum at Marlborough Gallery in Chelsea. Now, they're throwing a cocktail party and screening the film "The Floating Chair" at The Bridge, a country club in the middle of that giant country club that is the Hamptons. It's described as "a still life movie" that takes its inspiration from the "surrealistic banality of a breakfast cereal commercial." The Bridge Country Club, 1180 Millstone Road, Bridgehampton, 8:00 p.m.
