Tourists From the Future

Musical Visual Participatory Event
June 16, 2011 - 6:30pm

The Watermill Center
39 Watermill Towd Road
Water Mill, New York

On June 16 at 6:30 p.m. Megan Whitmarsh and My Barbarian present Tourists from the Future. Wealthy eco-tourists travel back in time to visit “nature,” of which the future is bereft. These “Futurians” will spend their residency at Watermill discovering, collecting, and archiving artifacts and relics. These findings will be presented at a lecture in the future. In the present, visitors to the Center will be invited to participate in an interactive, inter-dimensional musical / visual performance.

As artists working consciously amidst the noise of popular culture, these LA based artists expose the creative force within, and render it as capable of transformative power. Their work transmits a radiant possible future without denying the apocalyptic connotations of modern life.

Whitmarsh and My Barbarian will also be performing at CPR - Center for Performance Research on Monday, June 13 at 7:30. Click HERE to read more.
