MUSAC presents “Yoko Ono. Insound and Instructure” - Martin CID Magazine
MUSAC—Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León—presents a wide-ranging survey of Yoko Ono’s practice, assembling more than seventy works across approximately 1,700 square meters to trace a career that moves fluently between performance, conceptual and participatory art, film, sound, installation, painting, and photography.
...The exhibition’s selection highlights several early landmarks that shaped the language of performance and conceptual art. “Cut Piece” is staged in dialogue with other instruction-based works that make the viewer a co-author, including “Voice Piece for Soprano” and “Draw Circle Painting,” the latter requiring public participation to exist in full. The show also features participatory environments such as “A MAZE,” a navigable labyrinth, and “EN TRANCE,” an architectural threshold conceived as both prologue and proposition. Moving through these works, the visitor experiences how Ono’s instructions unfold into embodied situations—acts of walking, listening, speaking, or choosing—through which art becomes a practice of attention and agency rather than an object to behold.
