Shining Light on Disaster
Following the presentation of the “Tragedy, Art, and Peace” talk at the Mori Art Museum in August this year, and the Yokohama Triennale that included her telephone installation, the prolific Yoko Ono has once again captivated Tokyo with new works. In not one but two exhibitions currently being displayed barely a few kilometers apart, Ono looks to address further the experience of trauma and loss, this time focusing on the mechanisms of remembrance and experience. Located in Gallery 360° is a show entitled “I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER ME”, whilst a few train stops west of this the “LIGHT” exhibition is running at Tomio Koyama Gallery. With these two shows there are some superficial as well as thematic similarities, but their approaches to a common subject deviate from each other profoundly.
