Description

Lee Sheridan, "City Collectors Participate in Avant Garde Festival."
Daily News (December 7, 1973)

This reviewer considers the 10th Annual Avant Garde Festival to have been "an historic event charting the course of the unconventional art of the 1970s." He finds several works unforgettable, including John Cage's "Work in Progress." What entices the reviewer most is the element of interaction present throughout the Festival. He states that it is not an on-stage performance but a one-on-one experience, where the distinction between artist and spectator partly disappears.
