International Symposium
Reading John Cage / Performing John Cage /
Composing after Cage / Cage and the Arts
A scientific symposium brings together international representatives of Cage research with renowned artists, composers and companions of Cage’s. Its aim is to open up the academic discourse and confront aesthetic and philological questions, as well as those with a historical influence, with experiences in artistic and practical aspects of contemporary reality.
The Reading Cage category offers a forum for analytical and source critical portrayals, while Performing Cage reflects upon the issue of performance practice in an altered historical setting. Cage and the Arts broaches the topic of Cage’s approach to the synthesis of art and Cage’s reception in intermedia and media art. Finally, the Composing after Cage category is devoted to the challenge of contemporary composition following or in opposition to Cage.
