Yoko Ono: Infinite Universe at Dawn
This eternally divisive nutjob is launching her new book at Mossgreen Gallery. "Seeds of ideas, like pebbles, were raining through my life," she said. Catch some of those strange pebble seeds at the accompanying exhibition or take home a signed limited edition copy.
Overview
There's something eternally interesting about Yoko Ono. It's got a little to do with her mind-bending artwork, a bit more to do with the fact that she's a raunchy eighty-one-year-old nutjob, and a lot to do with the fact that she may have single-handedly maybe kind of broken up The Beatles. The woman is so divisive her name can be used as a verb. 'Yo.ko (v) 1. to ruin a universally loved creative endeavour'. Awkward.
Regardless, we can't get enough of her. Sydney had its fill earlier this year with the amazing War is Over! (If You Want It) exhibition at the MCA, and now Melbourne's getting their turn. From April 9 - 23, Mossgreen Gallery in Armadale will be hosting the Australian launch of her new book Infinite Universe at Dawn. Documenting her most important pieces of art and activism, the book will be available for purchase, and an accompanying exhibition of limited edition artworks will also be on show in the gallery.
Of the new book, which documents her life of art and activism, Ono said: "Seeds of ideas, like pebbles, were raining through my life. Genesis Publications has captured those seeds and presented them to you here, for your observation, selection and experimentation, to make their destination entirely yours.” Okay Yoko, whatever you say.
Various limited edition prints will also be available for purchase from the exhibition on show April 9 - 23. Check the Mossgreen website for more information.
