Yoko Ono is expressing her ideas and beliefs through these
artistic exhibitions, thought up in the 60's. They aren't necessarily
straight-forward, but neither is the person--in personality, music and
style.
The pieces have a spatial composition throughout the gallery
that shows thought and creativity went into their existence. The titles will
assist those struggling to understand her concepts such is the case of
"Three Mounds". Three identical mounds of earth are separated on the
floor with the titles Country A, Country B and Country C in front of the
classic War Is Over poster she made with John Lennon.
This brings up the point that these are old ideas, which
don't have the same impact they may have had in the 60's. She's relying on
nostalgia, which is probably great for her financial cause, but fails as evolutionary/revolutionary #9 art. It's art... just a little expired.
