[silence] Cage's Extramusical Pursuits; Request for Advice

[Jeremy Millar]

Am I right in thinking that Ray Kass is currently working a catalogue  
of the works?

I know of this exhibition (below) for certain, however:

http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/visual-arts/hayward-touring/future/ 
john-cage--every-day-is-a-good-day-

There'll be a publication to coincide with the exhibitions, too. Let  
me know if you'd like to know more.

BW,
J.
