[silence] Allan Kaprow's submission for Cage's New School class/The Third Mind show

[Margaret Leng Tan]

I was fascinated to read about John Cage¹s class at the New School  from
Stephen Addiss, an actual participant in that versatile and gifted pool of
artists in the late 1950¹s. I was wondering if he remembers a particular
assignment where Cage asked the students to make up performance pieces from
everyday objects. I believe these were things from Henry Cowell that were in
a cupboard in the classroom?  Anyway I have a 4 movement untitled score by
Allan Kaprow that I am interested to perform in my Cage-Fluxus performance
for the opening of the Venice Biennale this June. Was Stephen present when
Kaprow performed this for the class? If so I would love to hear his
recollections. 

BTW there will be a reinvention of Kaprow¹s ³Fluids² at the Biennale.

Yes, the Guggenheim ³Third Mind³ exhibition is a must-see. Here is the
website:

I thought I would mention that my recordings of Cage¹s piano music are used
on the audio tour for the exhibition.
