Summary/Abstract: The article discusses a range of musical compositions from the avant-garde movement and conceptual art, in which silence is the dominant artistic matter. From little-known In futurum by Erwin Schulhoff and the acclaimed John Cage’s 4’33”, to the untamed wilderness of Cornelius Cardew’s visual experiments and the political silence of anarcho-punk Crass’s recordings — the paper gives rise to a look at the richness of meanings hidden in silence.
