Program #2: Music+Text+Film
"I wanted something other than what I could make myself and I wanted to use the surprise and the collectiveness and the generosity of finding surprises. And if it wasn't a surprise at first, by the time I got through with it, it was. So the object itself was changed by its context and therefore it became a new thing."
-Robert Rauschenberg (October 22, 1925 - May 12, 2008)
