A performance by Geo Wyeth as an extension of their long-term project Muck Studies Dept. which combines Black/American music and history, extractive industry research and techniques of investigative journalism. Through this, Wyeth troubled the swampy waters of American racial history and ideas of a homeland. Geo Wyeth (1984, NYC) is an artist and teacher, working in the fields of music, performance, narrative sculpture, and video. The performance moved through the church, with Wyeth also playing the transept organ. In terms of content, it combined earlier texts with new anecdotes and elements that belonged to the Oude Kerk.

"I get into the water because I want to go home". In recent years, Wyeth has been wading into the water; from an artificial pond near their studio in the Netherlands to the swamps of New Orleans - stirring the low-lying water with their rake releases gases in the air to form new stars from that which 'stinks'. What lays hidden below the surface or in plain sight? Research into toxic water pollution and land reclamation, stories about maroon communities, and the absurdity of a misinterpreted composite identity, were some of the ingredients for this performance's theatrical poem and saturated music."
