CAGE AND CREED

 

 

 

 

CAGE: 4 minutes 33 seconds

 

The silent wind and string

to which I listened

in mute admiration

and eagerly awaited

the next performance

heard in silence.

 

 

 

CREED: Work No 227

 

In changing light

with eyes wide open

I slowly enter

the empty room,

alone,

a work of art

I view unseen.

 


If you are not familiar with the work of these two artists you may wish to look them up. Cage \'wrote\' a piece of music in which the instruments remained silent whist Creed exhibited an art work which consisted of an empty room. This is a re-post of something I first posted just over 2 years ago and is repeated following a discussion about Cage\'s work against Orchidee\'s posting yesterday.
