Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

Julian,

That's wonderful to hear. I'm glad your performance went well, and that you got to meet Laura, too; she's great fun.

BW,

J.

Hi List,

I performed at the opening of the HCMF in the gallery in Huddersfield last week and would like to say that the exhibition is fantastic.  When we went to have a look at the space initially, the gallery director told us about how the works were chosen and their placement in the space was decided with chance operations, and that all the works are rotated every week using the same method.  A great way of nudging people to return every week as I believe only 75% of the works are on display at any one time.  I will be returning on a regular basis.

I had a wonderful experience performing Variations ii as a part of the Edges Ensemble.  Got to meet Laura Kuhn too, who was charming and seemed to approve of our performance.  Great gig.

All good wishes,

Julian

That's very kind of you to say so, Clemens.

For those who are interested, the exhibition is now in Huddersfield; I've yet to see it, but almost inevitably I'm sure it looks wonderful. The book is widely available through all the usual sources...

BW,

J.

Dear All,

Whereas I haven't seen the 'Every Day is a Good Day' book yet. If it

is in anyway as thought-through as the concept of the touring

exhibition (I saw the exhibition at Kettlesyard in Cambridge, UK) and

similar to what Jeremy Millar said at a recent Cage "symposium" (more

a study day, but hey), then I can highly recommend it.

Will need to have a look at the book now, but the concept of the

exhibition is/was/will be very Cageian and sound.

Best wishes,

Clemens

Dear all,

Hope you're well. Kathan's book is, as Rob says, a wonderful insight into

working with Cage at Crown Point Press. 'Every Day is a Good Day' is the

catalogue to the touring exhibition of the same name which is currently

touring Britain. It contains around 80 full colour plates from all periods

of Cage's artistic production, the works having been specially photographed

for the book. It also includes interviews with Kathan, Ray, Laura Kuhn, and

Julie Lazar by myself, as well as a short introductory essay on the

exhibition by me on how I conceived and developed the project. Obviously,

I'd recommend it...

Hope that helps!

Best wishes,

Jeremy

THey're different books with different authors, at least the main title

listing doesn't mention Kathan:

e=UTF8&qid=1290611351&sr=8-7

Kathan Brown's book is more like a memoir of working with Cage at Crown

Point. This one also includes, though I haven't seen it yet, some

criticism

on the works themselves.

Maybe Ray Kass or some others on the list who are more informed on Cage's

visual art than I could comment? I would be very interested.

Best,

Rob

 I was browsing Cage art books at Amazon. I have Kathan Brown's "John

Cage

Visual Art: To Sober and Quiet the Mind". Is the book "Every Day is a

Good

Day: The Visual Art of John Cage" by the same author different from the

aforementioned, or more like an enriched reprint?
