Iconic performance artist Pope.L's Cage Unrequited is a marathon reading of John Cage’s edited anthology, Silence: Lectures and Writings (1961) by over eighty invited collaborators. The performance functions as a refuge, proposing a relationship between the earlier artist’s ideas of indeterminacy, mysticism and chance and the work of contemporary black artists.
This event is free to the public and will take place at Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center: 107 Suffolk St #312 New York, NY 10002
The maration reading will begin November 16 at 10:58 AM and will continue until November 17, 2013 at 11:57 AM.
