Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL
Graphical music notation is notation characterized by non-traditional musical symbols arranged in a visual design rather than conventional musical syntax. This notation emerged in the early twentieth century because of a growing feeling among some composers that traditional Western notation was inadequate for their musical ideas.
Composers such as Earle Brown and John Cage questioned the boundary between musical notation and visual art. Non-standardized notation opened space for new interpretation and communication between composer and performer. This exhibit investigates the dynamic intersection between the notation,
the music, the composer, and the performer . . .
The Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, is the fine arts museum of Chicago’s North Shore, offering focused visual arts programming for the Northwestern University community and the greater Chicago area. The Museum mounts several exhibitions a year, organizes numerous lectures, symposia, and workshops with artists and scholars, and screens classic and contemporary films at Block Cinema. We also reach national and international audiences through our traveling exhibitions, publications, and Web site.
Our expanding permanent collection — consisting primarily of works on paper — distinguishes the Museum as an important repository of original works of art. . .
