MOCA Jacksonville announces ‘John Cage & Friends’ exhibit
MOCA Jacksonville has announced its current exhibition, “Don’t Blame it on ZEN: The Way of John Cage & Friends.” This interactive and multidisciplinary exhibition explores the enduring legacy of John Cage through works by Cage himself, as well as artists who worked with him, and his contemporary relevance through the works by younger artists who in different ways have been inspired by Cage’s unique methodology.
In addition to Cage, the interactive exhibition will feature works by Maria Chavez, Philip Corner, Andrew Deutsch, Ann Hamilton, Christian Marclay, Aki Onda, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Matana Roberts, Robert Rauschenberg and others.
The exhibition is on view at MOCA Jacksonville now through May 7. It traces the work and legacy of the 20th-century composer and artist and explores his unique approach to art making that continues to live on in the work of artists today. A rich schedule of programming will accompany the exhibit.
MOCA is located at 333 N. Laura St., Jacksonville. For further information, go to mocajacksonville.unf.edu.
