Yoko at the MOMA

image via the shining egg.

I went to the MOMA and their show Looking at Music had some truly lovely instructional pieces from Yoko Ono.

This is 2 examples of her pieces, so lovely, simple, and human.


Imagine all the people singing one day of the year.
That day:
a) lawyers will argue in court by singing.
b) politicians will make their speeches by singing.
c) teachers will lecture by singing.
d) soldiers of both camps will sing to each other.

from her blog 100 acorns


SNOW PIECE (1963)

Think that snow is falling. Think that snow is falling everywhere all the time. When you talk with a person, think that snow is falling between you and on the person. Stop conversing when you think the person is covered by snow.
