Less Like An Object More Like the Weather
Less Like An Object More Like the Weather
John Cage characterized his longtime collaboration with Merce Cunningham by stating: “It’s less like an object and more like the weather. Because in an object, you can tell where the boundaries are. But in the weather, it’s impossible to say when something begins or ends.” The ethos of the students’ collaboration reflects Cage’s sentiment and prompts the viewer to experience the venture’s heterogeneity less as an object to be assimilated, and more as a movement towards a climate of engagement. A student-initiated publication will be designed by Isabelle Vaverka and Lu Liang. It will feature contributions from the curators and participants of the spring curatorial projects and be available for sale at CCS Bard (Center for Curatorial Studies Bard).
