Exposition of John Cage

With The Anarchy of Silence John Cage and Experimental Art, not only is SCHUNCK* presenting the largest exposition dedicated to the composer since his death in 1992. It is also presenting the first exhibition to place John Cages’ work in the context of music history and the history of the visual and performing arts.
The exhibition follows Cage's career in chronological order from 1930 until the late 1980's. It includes over two hundred works, including original scores, paintings, noise works, films and multimedia installations by not only by John Cage himself but also by Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, La Monte Young, Nam June Paik and Fluxus, and others. 

Cage put a bomb under the artistic conventions of his time. As John Cage Of what is and what might have been shows, his influence is still felt today. The retrospective, put together by Julia Robinson and realised in co-production with the Henie Onstad Art Centre in Norway and MACBA Barcelona, presents John Cage as an all-round innovator.
