In the 1952 «event», the Black Mountain lecturer MC Richards and the
poet Charles Olsen read poetry from ladders; Rauschenberg's «White Paintings» hung overhead while he played Edith Piaf records on an old phonograph; David Tudor played the piano; Merce Cunningham danced in and around the audience (chased
by a barking dog); and Cage sat on a step - ladder for two hours - sometimes reading a
lecture on the relation of music to Zen Buddhism, sometimes listening silently.
