Merce Cunningham: Common Time

This 1970 photograph of Merce Cunningham performing in Canfield at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York, is reproduced from Common Time, published by the Walker Art Center to accompany concurrent exhibitions at the Walker and MCA Chicago. It is collaged together with Gordon Mumma's 1962 score for A Choreography for Pianists from MEDIUM SIZE MONOGRAPH. Together with David Tudor and John Cage, Mumma was a member of Merce Cunningham Dance Company's unofficial "house band," which produced some of the most experimental music of the twentieth century.
