water%holding is an interdisciplinary performance of sound, movement, and visual elements taking inspiration from the curb stop–a small access point in sidewalks and lawns to shut off water pipes. Using pre-composed and improvised elements, the project explores complex entanglements of settler-colonial property and promises of health and purity embedded in water infrastructure.
Ro(b)//ert Lundberg makes sound and image, thinks about and drinks water. They have performed a wide range of music throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe both solo and with outfits such as JOBS, Skeletons, Nestle, In One Wind, and Leverage Models at venues and festival such as Carnegie Hall, JVC Jazz Festival, Newport Folk Festival, and Big Ears Festival. Their photography, video, and multimedia work often focuses on the interaction of human infrastructure and the spaces it inhabits. They earned a BFA in jazz performance from The New School (New York) and graduate degrees in science studies and environmental art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Blank Box is an ongoing program by Homeroom to commission original multimedia work that is collaborative and performative, encouraging artists of multiple platforms and media to think, work, and create using structured improvisation. Blank Box presents work by artists working in contemporary experimental time-based arts, including sound/music, video/projections, dance/movement, theater/lighting/scenery, puppetry/sculpture, and other performance-based and installation arts.
