Catalogue Note
"There is no more subject in a combine than there is in a page from a newspaper. Each thing that is there is a subject...any one of them could be removed, another come into its place through circumstances analogous to birth and death, travel, housecleaning, or cluttering." - John Cage, "On Robert Rauschenberg, Artist and His Work" in Silence: Lectures and Writings, 1961
