An exhibition exploring the intersection of art and music, featuring visual scores, creative instruments, paintings, photographs, installations, and live performances.

Lecture by Theresa Saur: September 20, 2012 (time TBA)

Theresa Saur will be speaking about her ongoing research project and book, Notations 21. This project and anthology is based on John Cage’s seminal work, particularly his musical scores that were liberated from the traditional staff and are essentially graphic in nature. Since the 1960s, thousands of composers have developed unique or graphical styles of notation, and this book profiles the work of more than 160 such composers. This project represents "the most exhilarating and exciting concepts of communication systems and developments in new performance methods by fusing the arts in the most experimental and innovative styles never seen before."

Gallery Reception: September 20, 2012 (time TBA)
