 Ono’s first show in five years mixes conceptual art and audience participation, probing our embodiment. A panel series transcribes Ono’s life into a timeline of physical interventions on her body by mostly male (often medical) agents. The centerpiece is a wall of punctured fabric where viewers photograph body parts as contributions to the exhibition. The participatory format lets viewers contemplate their attitudes towards bodies alongside Ono’s.
