What's on
Yoko Ono needs your broken crockery
Turner Contemporary is calling out for any unwanted or broken crockery. The unusual request comes on behalf of Yoko Ono whose work Mend Piece for Merry England features in Turner Contemporary's Far West exhibition which opens at the Project Space on Saturday 4 October.
Yoko Ono came to prominence as an experimental artist and musician during the 1960s. Her conceptual artworks often take the form of performances or simple instructions that can be enacted by the audience. For this work, visitors to the exhibition are invited to create their own sculpture out of the donated crockery. These sculptures will remain on display in the exhibition and, in exchange, anyone that joins in and makes a sculpture will receive a symbolic gift from Yoko Ono.
The Far West exhibition is currently on show at Arnolfini, Bristol's leading contemporary arts space, where it is proving immensely popular with visitors. The theme of audience involvement runs throughout the exhibition and visitors have jumped at the chance of joining in and making works which can either join the exhibits on display or be traded for other goods.
If you have any broken or unwanted crockery, please take it to the Turner Contemporary Project Space on Margate High Street from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am-5pm.
Everyone is then invited to visit the exhibition from Saturday 4 October to create their own unique artwork.
