The Anarchy of Silence JOHN CAGE

The exhibition The Anarchy of Silence - John Cage is on display at Henie Onstad Art Centre 25 February 30 May 2010 .

John Cage (1912-1992) defined a radical practice of "experimental" composition that not only changed the course of modern music and dance but defined a new conceptual horizon for artistic practice in the late-20th century. Illuminating the relevance of Cage's contribution to contemporary art, Henie Onstad Art Centre presents the most extensive exhibition to be devoted to the artist since his death, and the first to focus on the historicization of the composer's oeuvre and its impact.

Meet the curator, Julia Robinson, behind the scenes. She talks about Cage, his ideas and her views upon the invention of the prepared piano.
