It was the first Summer Festival since its founder, the indomitable Robert Wilson, passed away in 2025. In 1992, he founded the Watermill Center as a place for artists from around the world to explore their creativity and find support. The task of carrying it forward now falls to Charles Chemin, who has been part of the Watermill Center since he was 10 years old. At the start of the night, Observer spoke with Noah Khoshbin, curator of the Watermill Center, who curated “DiAlogs,” an exhibition of Wilson’s three-dimensional work. Had Wilson left enough of a roadmap for the Watermill Center to thrive without him?
