Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center (www.watermillcenter.org) presents this eclectic group of artists, who transform the houses on Colonel’s Row into spaces for installation and performance. The Watermill Center supports projects that fuse and break with traditional forms of representation. The projects on Colonel’s Row represent a continuation of ideas developed at the Center.

  • C. Ryder Cooley: A multimedia artist and musician based in Troy, NY, Cooley weaves together fantastical images with found. props and forgotten objects. Working with the history and military background of Governors Island, Cooley will create a cinematic and haunting installation-performance. www.carolynrydercooley.com
  • Maria Jose Arjona: A Columbian born performance artist based in Miami, Maria José Arjona’s work explores the capacities of the body to produce new languages. Here, she continues her investigation by incorporating video and live performance in a wonderfully unusual space.
  • Implied Violence: Implied Violence is a Seattle-based art collaborative. They keep secrets, speak in code, and love nothing more than a good pie in the face. Here, Implied Violence presents The Dorothy K., a work of experimental theatre performed continuously throughout the weekend with 16 performers and a band of musicians. www.impliedviolence.com
  • H*E*R*D Group: The H*E*R*D Group is comprised of Ireland’s Declan Rooney and South Korea’s Eunhye Hwang. Working with performance, video, and music production, H*E*R*D creates live exchanges between artist and spectator. www.theherdgroup.com
