Pope.L: Cage Unrequited (2013) (excerpt)

Artist Pope.L's Cage Unrequited is a 25 hour 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 is an excerpt from Pope.L's interlude.
