± I96I presents, for the first time, a detailed analysis of a decisive year in the 1960s that led to the invention of the “expansion of the arts”. The exhibition explores the origins of this shift, experimental work and early collective activities that marked the start of the unprecedented expansion of the notion of “composition” and engendered a multidisciplinary project developed in real time over the course of that year. The geographical sphere covered by the show stretches from San Francisco to Darmstadt, Cologne and New York, places in which a new generation of composers, poets, choreographers and artists reinvented their practice as a result of radical innovations that had occurred in the field of advanced music.
