THE JOHN CAGE TRUST
John Cage Book of Days 2011
2011 Calendar
Edited by Laura Kuhn.
Few twentieth-century artists have been as quotable as the ever-pithy composer, writer, philosopher and artist John Cage, and his aphorisms have become the mantras of fans the world over. "I have nothing to say/and I am saying it/and that is poetry as I know it" is just one of his most famous observations, regularly cited by artists and thinkers across all disciplines. Celebrating Cage's gift for playful, concise wisdom, and produced by the John Cage Trust under the guidance of Laura Kuhn, the John Cage Book of Days is a 2011 pocket calendar that brings together the composer's words with noteworthy historical events in Cage's life as well as tiny visual fragments drawn from his artworks. Bound in a soft cover graced with one of his essential Ryoanji drawings, this Book of Days gathers all aspects of Cage's work into a volume that makes even the mundane task of managing a life pleasurable and fresh.
