Yoko Ono's Wacky "To The Light" Art Exhibit

Dear Friends,

So sorry, this post is actually an "anti-post" and I hope you will forgive me for bringing it to you.

Sincerely,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo


Yoko Ono's Wacky "To The Light" Art Exhibit

As John Lennon would say, "Oh Yoko! In the middle of a high-class artspace I call your name..." After focusing more on music in recent years—where she's become an unlikely dance-music heroine—Yoko Ono has returned to visual art with a London display titled "To the Light," her first public exhibit in a decade. And yes, Beatlemaniacs, her late husband plays a posthumous role in it. The subtitle of one of their classic songs, "War is Over," plays a key part in one installation of Ono's at the Serpentine Gallery. Another mixed-media piece features a slow-motion video of Lennon smiling, which ties into an ongoing project of Ono's in which she says she's hoping to get a snapshot of every person in the world flashing a similarly happy expression. Frown is over, if you want it! Below is photographic preview of what London art lovers are seeing in Ono's exhibition. -- Chris Willman


Before there was the logo for the Beatles-owned Apple Records, there was Ono's own strikingly similar green apple, in 1966, which gets a reprise in this exhibition. (photo: Dave M. Bennett)

Hi Miguel,

This is too much, I surely understand why you said anti. To me it doesn't make sense, but what do I know.

You are absolutely right, Myrna; that is NOT art at all and any aim at profiting from anything like it can only be based on the alleged artist's fame or notoriety.

Interesting.

I've moved a little on some modern installations but I'm not impressed by this.

At least she got a reaction.

Maybe that's what she wants.

Even bad publicity can be good publicity.
