My primary research for the course centered around the narrow question: How the work of John Cage and Janet Cardiff subverts audience expectations in their work, 4'33' and 40 Part Motet respectively? This question leads to a broader concern in my practice, how to interact with an audience - both in the live context of performance and later documentation. By looking at two specific objects of study I took this unmanageable concern and reduced it to an approachable and researchable question. The photo above is a still from a performance with Derek Kiesling, To Cut a Lake in Half - in which the initial audience was limited to two photographers, and with which we still struggle with organizing a final representation using our documentation. By researching Cardiff and Cage, I've gained a greater understanding of the relationship I want with a viewer in my practice.
