please let me know if this is improper to forward an email from one list to another. I am forwarding this not only becasue of the description of the exhibition, which I think others would enjoy, but also because of the mention that " Especially the basement part was impressive..." ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 8:43 PM Subject: Re: [~ oNoVoX ~] Happy birthday, Yoko
Oh, YES, Yoko, Happy Birthday to you. May this be another successful and active year, where you inspire again so many in how to contribute creatively. Last weekend, i was in London. Our group did schedule a meeting on Sunday in the British Museum, but i could not find them (mis-interpreted our meeting point). Instead, i later found a bus that passed near the ICA East at 14 Wharf Road where the Yoko Ono exhibition 'Odyssey of a Cockroach' was. Especially the basement part was impressive, with the three gigantic props (blood-stained baseball club, arm watch, shoe), and the pile of naked puppet body-parts together with three blood-stained cloth pieces. On the upper floor, a cage with a heap of interesting books, decorated by a photograph of John's famous spectacles with blood spatters when he was killed, and the well-known poster of 'War is Over - If you Want It' did draw attention. The third floor had next to a mirror piece an in the beginning empty wall, where messages could be placed. Many used the rubber stamps with 'Imagine Peace' for that. Someone had composed the word YES in this way, which inspired me to add (Y)OKO vertically. To finish, i pinned two of my postcards in the O's. On all three floors were tables with world maps where 'Imagine Peace' could be stamped. For documentation, i made a video of the exhibition with a DV camera. The guards in charge were very kind, and encouraging participation. Children enjoyed to stamp, and to run around. This gave the otherwise sombre parts some extra life. freed -------------------- Steve Petrica wrote: > > Couldn't let Yoko's 71st birthday pass without lifting a virtual glass > in her honor! > > Steve -- ... .................................................................
