Dia: Snack

This was my favorite exhibit at Dia:Beacon when I went earlier this summer. It involves Merce Cunningham and John Cage and love post death, and film, and silence (of course) and a great, vast, dark expanse.

An article about it in the New York Times appeared today. Here is the link!

"Oh So Quiet" by Holland Cotter (which is a snack of a name, if I do say so myself)
