Beskrivelse
In 2012, eminent artists and scholars met in Lublin, Poland, for a series of events to celebrate the centenary of US-American avant-garde composer, music theorist, and writer John Cage (1912-1992). Three years later, the contributions to an international Cage Symposium were published in Polish in an anthology entitled CAGE100 which was edited by literary scholar Jerzy Kutnik. The present publication, CAGE111, makes these essays available to an English-speaking audience for the first time. It includes contributions from the following renowned composers, performing artists, and scholars from around the world: Katarzyna Bazarnik, Anne de Fornel, Kyle Gann, Linda Hirst, Peter Jaeger, Gordon Mumma, Marjorie Perloff, David Revill, Christopher Shultis, Volker Straebel, Margaret Leng Tan, and Fred Turner.
JERZY KUTNIK graduated with an M.A. in English from Lublin's Maria Curie-Sklodowska University and subsequently taught American Studies there until his retirement in 2019. During his academic tenure he held several positions, including head of the Department of American Studies and vice-dean of Humanities at MCSU as well as president of the Polish Association for American Studies and member of the board of the European Association for American Studies. Kutnik also wrote two monographs in Polish on John Cage and translated four novels into Polish, including Raymond Federman's Double or Nothing.
