Each summer Robert Wilson develops new theater work at the Center, a multi-disciplinary arts laboratory located in eastern Long Island, NY. The Watermill Center was founded by Wilson in 1992 as an international facility for new work in the arts, conceived to foster communication and innovation. There he brings together an international group of artists in a collaborative and supportive environment. In just ten seasons, the Center has developed major work for the world’s stages and museums, and begun introducing a new generation of young artists in Wilson’s distinctive methods.
Watermill Benefit 2002
Gamelambience - this was an installation throughout Watermill's forest using sounds that were sampled in Bali 2001. Wilson chose this work because of the way that it highlighted the many Indonesian monoliths he has placed in the woods. Some are over 12 feet tall and weigh many tons. They date from 3500 B.C.E.
