Seminar
Post-Cagean Aesthetics
Maxwell Boersma
Kommentar
This seminar explores the wide field of experimentation catalyzed by the anti-hierarchical, open-ended, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary aesthetic program of composer and theorist John Cage (1912–92). Bridging realms of music, dance, and avant-garde art, course readings trace the artistic paradigms and personal exchanges of Cage’s circle, including significant interfaces with Black Mountain College and the Fluxus movement. Important emphasis will be placed on the international character of these activities and the many women and queer practitioners within its networks, including Cage himself. The seminar features a mandatory excursion to the exhibition Five Friends: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly at the Museum Ludwig in Köln. Further key figures in the seminar include Nam June Paik, Shigeko Kubota, Charlotte Moorman, Allan Kaprow, Yoko Ono, Yvonne Rainer, and George Maciunas. Schließen
