Cagecircle: Composition for an Exhibition brings together a dazzling variety of archival items—from twenty-two collections—to create an unexpected cabinet of curiosities. For this collaboration between the John Cage Trust and Bard College’s Stevenson Library, we used John Cage’s methods of chance procedures as a tool for curation. The exhibition takes inspiration from Cage’s Museumcircle, an exhibition he curated using chance procedures in 1991 for Munich’s Pinakotech de Moderne art museum as a test for his posthumously installed exhibition, Rolywholyover: A Circus.
