Pieces Of Sky, Pairs Of Eyes
Last chance to see Yoko Ono at Hafnarhúsið
Reykjavík Art Museum Hafnarhús | Tryggvagata 17 | Oct 7 - Feb 5 | 10.00-17:00
Yoko Ono is a titan of conceptual art, having been one of the few women to participate in the
Fluxus movement of the 1960s. In the intervening decades, she has moved through pretty
much every branch and discipline of art practise, often actively dismantling the boundaries
between them whilst inviting audience members to be active participants in both creating and
interpreting each piece. Her large exhibition at Hafnarhús features many works that viewers
can take part in, whether adding marks to a canvas initiated by Yoko at the opening, or punch-
ing a hole through another, or taking away “Imagine Peace” badges and jigsaw pieces printed
with fragments of the blue sky. Leave a good couple of hours to appreciate this broad, generous
presentation to the full. JR
