Re: FLUXLIST: The artification of Ono's anti-art
Anyone know offhand what the other venues are for "Yes"? I thot I heard Boston among them?

Much of her earlier work is precise, honed, elegant, effective. But as one goes forward in the work, it becomes ingenuous, dreamy in a way I find silly, less and less pointed, more and more naif. For someone with her brains, freedom, means, and power, I think something more can be expected--at the very least, she should have been able to ensure that the work was not enshrined and objectified, rather than conniving in this very thing. I got mad. AK Josh Ronsen wrote: Eryk Salvaggio wrote: At one point, there was the Yoko Ono Nail piece, with the hammers and a bucket of nails, which confused a seven year old girl to no end. She couldn't understand why the nails and hammers were out in the open if people weren't allowed to put nails into the canvas, on account of all of the enormous "Do Not Touch The Art" signs. It was pretty great, and probably the best critique of Yoko Ono's work I'd heard. The big Yoko Ono exhibit "YES YOKO ONO" is now showing at the Houston Contemporary Museum of Art, which I am somewhat excited to see. What I am not excited to see is how the pieces from the 60's have turned from interesting pieces of art into do-not-touch museum commodity objects. For example, I called the museum yesterday and asked if one could climb the ladder in "Celing Piece." "No, of course not," was the answer. It is a sad day when anti-art turns into art... Maybe when I go I can make my own mini version of the piece. One would climb a step-stool that had a pole attached to it. Hanging from the pole would be a string holding a magnifying glass and a little piece of paper that says "NO." -Josh Ronsen http://www.nd.org/jronsen --== Sent via Deja.com ==-- http://www.deja.com/ --- Reed Altemus --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Maybe as I was very underwhelmed by some John Lennon ducumentations some month ago. I am not shure if he was anyhow stronger in his time. Outside of his songs. H.
