In Process @ The Watermill Center is our ongoing series of open rehearsals, workshops, artist talks and studio visits that invite the community to engage with the work of our international Artists-in-Residence.
The Watermill Center invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to gain unique insight into the creative process of artists, cultivating an understanding of how artists from across the globe develop new work.
In Process allows direct engagement between the community and our Artists-in-Residence in the midst of their residency, giving them the opportunity to present and receive feedback on their work, and continue the development process throughout the remainder of their stay.
This In Process is a highlight of the Hamptons Arts Network's THAW Fest events. THAW Fest (The Hamptons Arts Weekend Festival), runs from March 6 to March 29, 2020 with exhibitions, theater performances, film, music, garden tours, workshops, community engagement and family-focused events across member organizations of the Hamptons Arts Network. Hamptons Arts Network is a consortium of not-for-profit organizations working together to create a unified arts community of the Hamptons.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Derrick Ryan Claude Mitchell is an American déclassé from Reno, Nevada, currently living in the grey area of legality in Vienna, Austria where his company Saint Genet, currently resides. -drcm as Saint Genet creates large-scale works that range from symphonies and experimental plays in abandoned buildings, museum reflecting pools, boxing matches in filthy alleyways, rooftop performances atop doomed domiciles, marathon traversals of foreign spaces, ether induced 8 hour “madness opera”, grandiose architectural wakes, and sublime blood fueled social reckonings. These pieces are neither purely plays or performance art commodity; neither complete spectacle or didactic diatribe. They are works that are vanishing.
Candace Hill Montgomery is a visual artist and educator. She has been a recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, CAPS Fellowship, NEA grants, Beards Grant for Sculpture, and has published works with Printed Matter and Heresies. Her work has been shown at the Whitney Biennial, Madre, The New Museum, The Bronx Museum, The World Trade Center, Hills & Valleys, and with the Parrish Art Museum.
