la monte young

Composition 1960, No.5 reads:
Turn a butterfly (or any number of butterflies) loose in the performance area.
When the composition is over, be sure to allow the butterfly to fly away outside.
The composition may be any length, but if an unlimited amount of time is available, the doors and windows may be opened before the butterfly is turned loose and the composition may be considered finished when the butterfly flies away.


“Isn’t it wonderful if someone listens to something he is ordinarily supposed to look at?” Young
