Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[april mellor <>]

Is this touring exhibition perhaps quite similar to an exhibition I remember seeing a few years ago now at Inverleith House, Edinburgh?

The John Cage/Merce Cunningham drawing show ‘No Fixed Points’  held from 1 May to 8 July, 2007.

I really enjoyed that exhibition, and I recall that Jeremy had a video in the basement.

Rod, Stefano,

I hope that you're well, and thank you for your very kind words — I'm delighted that you liked the piece so much. It was very warmly received by John Tilbury, also, so I'm rather happy with it.

As such, it's perhaps unfortunate that it's not being shown in the 'Cage Mix' exhibition, which accompanies the 'Every Day is a Good Day' exhibition I conceived for Hayward Touring; instead, I'll be showing a new text installation, made with the support of the wonderful people at the John Cage Trust:

I do rather like this, too, though.

Thanks again for your comments.

Best wishes,

Jeremy

Well, I have to say that the "Preparations" video

has to be one of the best that I've seen in a long while...

certainly the best video that I've seen this year.

Beautiful poetics - absolutely sublime. Thanks Jeremy.

I must agree with Rod here. I saw the preparations clip which I had at first skipped (there have been shared too many good links to click-on on this list recently:-)... very nice video. Thanks for sharing it Jeremy.

Once again this little snippet reminded me how it would be easy to find beauty in the simplest things if I could only open my eyes and ears more. Funnily enough (but maybe not), I had my room cleaned while hearing the prepared piano and the ambience sounds perfectly coupled with Tilbury's tweaked notes:-)
