  1. Review: 'My Life and My Life in the Nineties' by Lyn Hejinian

    There's that John Cage quote people trot out when you call a piece of art boring &mdash; &ldquo;In Zen they say: If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and so on. Eventually one discovers that it's not boring at all but very interesting.&rdquo; The thing no one ever points out about this is that it's not true. I had a temp job, moons and moons ago, in data entry at a giant law firm. Cage's aphorism should hang on the particleboard of corporate drudge mines everywhere, right next to <em>Arbeit macht frei</em>.

  2. Festival of the Arts Boca takes a youthful turn

    As a violinist who calls himself the "Viagra of classical music" and "Edward Violinhands," the South Korean virtuoso Amadeus Leopold is every bit as humble as his onstage performance is subtle. Which is to say, not at all.

    WDBJ7 Anchor/Reporter
    The Taubman Museum of Art is playing the odds with its latest exhibit. The museum is using a system of chance and "rolling the dice" to determine the layout of its upcoming show. Each roll determines which painting goes where. The museum says this...

  4. Wesleyan University Examines the Life of Composer John Cage

    Composer John Cage (1912-1992) is the subject of Wesleyan's next Music &amp; Public Life series installment, beginning with a free lecture by Cage biographer Richard Kostelanetz on Dec. 5 and a performance of Cage's <em>Lecture on the Weather </em>(1975), which mashes up the writings of Henry David Thoreau, environmental recordings by Maryanne Amacher and Luis Frangella's drawings of Thoreau. On Friday, the Wesleyan Orchestra and Wesleyan New Music Alliance air out Cage's highly conceptual <em>Etcetera </em>(1973) <em>HPSCHD </em>(1969) respectively; then David Barron, Wesleyan professors Ron Kuivila and Neely Bruce and vocalist Anne Rhodes tackle Cage's <em>Song Books </em>(1970) on Saturday. Cage (pictured right, with Alvin Lucier, center, and Christian Wolff, left) had a longstanding affiliation with the Middletown campus, and this year, the centenary of his birth, is the perfect time to celebrate that.
