dc.rightsJIM COTTER TUNE: 'ON NOT WANTING TO SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT JOHN OR ROBERT' Research Background Robert Rauschenberg had an extensive impact on late-20th century visual culture, and the National Gallery of Australia showcased his work in the exhibition "Robert Rauschenberg 1967-78" (2007). 'On Not Wanting to Say Too Much about John or Robert' was composed to explore Rauschenberg's significant collaborations with the American composer John Cage, and to address the omission of the visual-culture dimension of Rauschenberg's work from the exhibition. Research Contribution Cotter's multi-dimensional piece incorporates analogue tape music, original text, spoken and printed word, and computer graphics to examine Cage's notions of ambiguity, and random or aleatoric techniques, in order to explore the collaborative relationship between Cage and Rauschenberg. It also interpolates the collage technique which is fundamental to Rauschenberg's artistic practice. Research Significance This research provides the listener/viewer with a contemporary representation of Rauschenberg's 'joy in creating works of art within a reciprocal exchange'. It contextualises his visual artworks in a wider creative practice that influenced composers, theatre practitioners, printmakers, photographers and numerous artists. Its significance is supported by inclusion within the physical space of the National Gallery during the exhibition, and the acceptance of Cotter's recorded work into the National Gallery's collection.
