Robert Wilson was an American experimental theater stage director and playwright who was described by The New York Times as "[America]'s – or even the world's – foremost vanguard 'theater artist.'" He also worked as a choreographer, performer, painter, sculptor, video artist, and sound and lighting designer.
Wilson is best known for his collaboration with Philip Glass and Lucinda Childs on Einstein on the Beach, and his frequent collaborations with Tom Waits. In 1991, Wilson established The Watermill Center, "a laboratory for performance" on the East End of Long Island, New York, regularly working with opera and theater companies, as well as cultural festivals. Wilson "has developed as an avant-garde artist specifically in Europe amongst its modern quests, in its most significant cultural centers, galleries, museums, opera houses and theaters, and festivals".

This is the catalog for a really cool/spooky Robert Wilson exhibit at MassMOCA. I just wish I'd seen Wilson's collaboration with Tom Waits at BAM. Also haunting (but not in this book) are Wilson's short films.
