约翰·凯奇John Cage

1912–1992 · 美国 · 作曲家1912–1992 · USA · composer · John Cage

1952 年，他的作品《4分33秒》首演：钢琴家走上台，打开琴盖，静坐 4 分 33 秒，然后合上琴盖下台。全程一个音都没有弹。他说，观众听见的咳嗽声、空调声、自己的心跳，就是这首曲子。In 1952 his piece 4′33″ premiered: the pianist walked on, opened the lid, sat in silence for 4 minutes 33 seconds, closed the lid and left. Not one note was played. What the audience heard, he said — the coughing, the air conditioning, their own heartbeat — was the piece.

「There is no such thing as silence.」“There is no such thing as silence.”

入选理由：他证明了「什么都没有」也可以是一件作品。Why they are here: He proved that “nothing at all” can also be a work.
