Activity
Cage-Cunningham Autumn
in progress
Cinema, performance and lectures
The convergence of two major events in Barcelona this autumn, the MACBA exhibition The Anarchy of Silence. John Cage and Experimental Art —the first major Spanish retrospective on the North American avant-garde composer—, and the visit, organised by the Mercat de les Flors, of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company —formed by John Cage’s partner and collaborator over fifty years— are the starting point for this program of activities, which is held in the framework of a broader program around these two central avant-garde figures organised jointly by several of the city’s cultural institutions. The concerts, performances and workshops in the program aspire to present aspects of Cage’s work and personality that the exhibition can, by its very nature, only suggest.
With Cunningham’s company in the Museum, the activities become a commemoration of his essential contribution to a profound transformation of dance and his work with Cage, while also strengthening the vision of the composer as a protean artist and a generating force for a very wide range of different kinds of aesthetic proposals.
