NOTE

Imagine you looked out of the window one morning and saw jellyfish. No birds fluttering, just a sky full of gelatinous animals. Every now and then a shark or tuna glides noiselessly past. And everywhere… water.

With the strange beauty of a dream Water cuts between powerful individual stories, exploring man’s desire to push himself to the limits in an increasingly unstable world of climate change. In Canada two half-brothers clash over the legacy of their dead father. Meanwhile a young female special advisor tries to push through a deal at a political summit, while in Mexico a young Englishman prepares to dive the deepest freshwater cave in the world.

Reggie Wilson—Looking for Moses(es) The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Cover Artist

George Segal (1924—2000), a native New Yorker who showed with the Pop artists in the 1960s, was one of the most recog- nized sculptors of the 20th century. He was represented by the Sidney Janis Gallery for over 30 years and his signature plaster figures are in museum collections throughout the world. His best known bronze public commissions include the FDR Memorial, 1991 (Washington, DC); The Commuters, 1980 (Port Authority Bus Terminal, New York); and the commemorative bronze, Gay Liberation, 1980, in Sheridan Square, New York. In 1999 Segal received the National Medal of Honor from President Clinton. The artist’s many museum exhibitions include retrospectives at the Whitney Museum and Jewish Museum in New York and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institu- tion in Washington, DC. Segal has been praised for the delicacy and intimacy of his figures and for the range of themes he has undertaken. Casting directly from his models, as the artist stated, his sculptures retain an indelible element of the sitter’s spirit and uniqueness. The fragment shown here, Torso: Hand on Thigh, conveys the complex mood, gesture, and sensuality of a woman.

The Good Dance—dakar/brooklyn, performed at BAM in 2009, arose out of a Guggenheim fellowship Photo: Julieta Cervantes that took Wilson to Senegal and Ghana in 2002 to explore new ways of moving and thinking.

That research led him to a collaboration with the Dakar-based choreographer Andréya Ouamba. In Moses(es), his partner is the dramaturg Susan Manning, a professor at Northwestern who has helped Wilson to organize information gleaned from residencies in Israel, Egypt, and Turkey. His research has dipped into areas as disparate as racial identity in Egypt, the mystical tradition known as Zar, and fractal geometry, to which he was introduced by the book African Fractals, by Ron Eglash. This extensive material has been organized into memos for the dancers to read and discuss. “There’s a lot of stuff,” Wilson says, “I encouraged people to move in the direction they were attracted to.” Eat, Drink & Be Literary Dream
