Is art really as simple as it seems? Today we will be discussing a chained statue of a cat located at Columbia University's Arden House Conference Center, but the question is: should the chain be considered part of the art despite it being placed there after its installation? We will be discussing this topic while cross-examining it with other art works and their contexts.

Join us as we talk about John Cage. Additionally, about how he made a new form of art when it comes to music with his silent melodies and water field seashells to create dynamic audio experiences. We'll also be talking about how John Cage could have affected today's society with his art, or how he may not have impacted it.

In this episode of the Exploring Art Podcast, we discuss the poem “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos Williams.
