YOKO ONO: MUSIC OF THE MIND
Press releases
Since the 1950s, Yoko Ono has been ahead of her time, leaving her mark on visual arts, music and activism. Honouring her visionary, sensitive and humorous approach to visual art and music, Gropius Bau presents YOKO ONO: MUSIC OF THE MIND. This comprehensive survey exhibition celebrates the groundbreaking work of Yoko Ono and highlights her position within early conceptual and participatory art, film and performance. The show brings together over 200 works, including instruction pieces and scores, installations, films, music and photography. These artworks reveal Ono’s radical approach to language, art and audience participation, a sensibility that continues to speak to the present moment.
