At the time of this exhibition in 1981, no one was paying attention to the ways in which visual artists were using sound, yet everyone was vaguely aware of it. Suzanne Delehanty and the Neuberger mounted this show, pulling together books, objects, installations, and performance to at least sketch the scope of the idea. There were performances by the Glass Orchestra, and Composers Inside Electronics among others; books and objects by Braque, Duchamp, Dick Higgins, Kandinsky, Alison Knowles, George Macunias, Man Ray, Rauschenberg, Schwitters, and Tinguely and more; instruments/sculptures by Agam, Bertoia, Calder, Paik, and more; installations by Acconci, Anderson, Cage, Monk, Robert Morris, Nauman, and more; and many, many records and tapes by artists including the foregoing, Ono, Dine, Dibbets, LeWitt, and too many to mention (e-mail for specific inquiries). This was in fact a blockbuster, and the catalogue alone serves as one of the best scholarly resources there is on the subject, not least because the exhibition catalogue is so comprehensively annotated as well as listing bibliographies. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
