John Cage 33 1/3— Performed by Audience Tampa Museum of Art www.tampamuseum.org
In celebration of Cage’s centennial, this exhibition honors and reinterprets the artist’s original audience participation work entitled “score.” Museum visitors are invited to act as DJs and create a musical mix by playing records and “performing” the work.
This exhibition spans the career of Romare Bearden (1911-1988), regarded as one of the most important African-American artists who worked in the US during the 20th century. Bearden’s mastery of collage as well as his development of narrative and thematic explorations of his native South are highlighted. (See story on pg. 112.)
