Yoko Ono



It's this influential woman's birthday! There's a stunning five-part article on her and I think it a must read. It's great article that not only tackles the so-called Yoko problem but puts Yoko at not only the center of the story most commonly told about her, but at the transformation in art and media that took place in the 60's.

There're discussions on it at earth-tone and [livejournal.com profile] sex_and_race.

Oh how cool!! My brother took me to an exhibit of her work at the Walker Art Museum. I was resistant to go, because 'Oh no Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles blah blah blah'. I was so incredibly wrong.

That was some of the most amazing art I'd ever seen. Some of it was serious and some of it was laugh out loud playful. Really powerful stuff.
