"I have found my most satisfying experiences with Cage as...relinquishing conscious thought about this music and having a real sensory experience."
Shelley Selim, Mort Harris Curator of Automotive, Industrial, and Decorative Design at Detroit Institute of Arts, shares insight into John Cage's interconnected sonic and visual worlds. That includes Cage's brief but impactful visit to Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1974, where he worked with printmaking students and was treated to a concert of his own work, performed by local young musicians.
