This concert is part of the programme:

John Cage, Of what is and what might have been

Of what is and what might have been is the title of the programme to be presented on the occasion of the exhibition The Anarchy of Silence - John Cage and Experimental Art in SCHUNCK* Heerlen which will open on 3 September 2010. As a musician, writer and philosopher, Cage strived to push back the boundaries of the accepted, not only in music, but in other art forms as well. This approach formed the cornerstone of a philosophical exploration of an aesthetic free from conventions, taste, and traditional ways of looking at subjectivity. In a series of concerts, installations, readings, lectures and performances, various contemporary artists provide their interpretation of Cage’s oeuvre: they present what is there, and what it might have been.
