Artist Spotlight: Yoko Ono

YoKo OnO


Yoko Ono is an artist whose work spans a whole range of media from music, film and writing to performance, painting, installation and sculpture. 


Much of Ono's work reveals a playful, experimental approach to art making. Many of her pieces have everyday items in them, the one above has nails and a hammer attached to a chain. The first thing I would want to do is pound the nails in further. Her pieces have movement, and lots of involvement from the viewers and the space around it.


Viewers had to climb up a white ladder in the center of the room, from where a magnifying glass hanging from the ceiling allowed them to view the word "YES" written in tiny letters on a framed piece of paper affixed to the ceiling.
