DON’T BLAME IT ON ZEN: The Way of John Cage & Friends
Exhibition at MOCA Jacksonville from OCTOBER 28, 2022 – MAY 7, 2023
A leading voice of the post-war avant-garde, John Cage (1912-1992) was a composer, philosopher, poet, visual artist, amateur mycologist, and longtime Buddhist devotee, whose enormous influence throughout the arts cannot be overstated. This interactive and multidisciplinary exhibition explores Cage’s work and legacy, featuring works by artists that both knew and worked with him, as well as younger artists who in different ways have followed his footsteps, such as Maria Chavez, Philip Corner, Andrew Deutsch, Ann Hamilton, Christian Marclay, Aki Onda, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, and Robert Rauschenberg, among many others.
