BERLIN.- On the occasion of the 100th birthday of John Cage in 2012 the Akademie der Künste is dedicating a year-long programme to the trailblazer of an open art concept. Under the title “A Year from Monday” interdisciplinary art projects query the effect of his work up the present. The programme in autumn 2011 – “Cage Cunningham Xenakis” – describes John Cage’s cosmos through two of his most important companions and contemporaries: the choreographer and dancer Merce Cunningham and the composer and architect Iannis Xenakis. The series of projects is starting with the opening of an exhibition trilogy. “A room for John Cage” shows Akademie members’ positions towards Cage. The exhibition follows the idea of an interactive community of production and thought, for which John Cage wanted to be a role model
