"Membra Disjecta For John Cage. Wanting To Say Something About John" nennt sich die Hommage, mit der das freiraum quartier21 im Wiener MuseumsQuartier von 17. Februar bis 6. Mai den Komponisten, Musiker, bildenden Künstler und Autor würdigt, der am 5. September 100 Jahre alt geworden wäre. Fotos, Partituren, Gemälde, Installationen, Videos und Skulpturen von mehr als 60 internationalen Künstlern sollen die multimedialen Arbeiten und den offenen Werkbegriff von John Cage (1912-1992) widerspiegeln.
