From the Prisma Records Blogspot: "Shortly after his stay the Norwegian journal of new music, Ballade, published a special Cage edition.
Recordings of the event were published in 1984 as an unusual 10-tape suitcase “John Cage in Norway”.
Today in 2010, on the occasion of this exhibition, Henie Onstad Art Centre has published a book and CD also titled
“John Cage in Norway”. This publication incorporates the sounds, photographs and articles that document the important
Cage visit, which echoed in Norway’s musical and cultural life for years to follow."
