This story indicates that Brecht´s notion of the event was not only indebted to Cage (the piece was in fact dedicated to him); it also extended the interpretation of Dada artist Marcel Duchamp´s readymade beyond its association with the everyday object, expanding its capacity to reframe everyday experiences and gestures of art. To Brecht´s approval, Maciunas later described this event scores as “temporal readymades”. Brecht´s innovation was to reimagine the artwork not as a fixed material entity but as a perceptual “event” framed by the artist. (HARREN, 2020, p.9)
