Among the artists represented are Robert Rauschenberg, Nam June Paik, Bruce Nauman and Christian Marclay. The title cuts both ways: silence has a sound of its own, and any sound needs silence around it to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is arranged in four parts. Essays by the two editors, Brandon LaBelle, David Toop, Julia H. Schröder, Dörte Schmidt and Jan Thoben come first; Schröder writes on Cage's work with Merce Cunningham, Schmidt on how the notation of the piece changed over time, Thoben on Cage's silent scores. A section of scores and documents gathers versions of the piece along with its derivatives, sequels and reconstructions, related material and a discography. An anthology, \u003cem\u003eSilence: A Reader\u003c\/em\u003e, sets texts by Cage beside others by Douglas Kahn, Liz Kotz, Kyle Gann, James Pritchett and more, and a last section documents the exhibition.
