"Paradiso" was the theme of the 17th annual benefit for Robert Wilson's Watermill Center. As guests were greeted by a machine sculpture ("ANTICHAMBRE" by Marie-Eve Nadeau and Sophia Medici) with bars inviting the crowd to "limbo," it was unclear what universe the party was really in—the dress code was "heavenly," the 24 site-specific installations were otherworldly, and the humid weather was, well, pure hell. If there wasn't a word to describe it, you could buy the smell, a one-of-a kind Watermill Paradiso scent created by IFF and in bottles designed by the institute's summer artists were up for auction at $500 a pop—KELLEY HOFFMAN
