Yoko Ono Major Retrospective at Tate Modern in 2024
Tate Modern in London will host a major solo exhibition of Yoko Ono in February 2024, announced via social media. The show spans over sixty years of her career, including her London years when she met John Lennon and co-created the album 'Imagine'. It will feature controversial performances like 'Cut Piece' (1964), where the audience cut off her clothes, and the banned experimental film 'Film No.4 (Bottoms)' (1966/67), which sparked a 'peace petition'. Activist projects such as 'Peace is Power' and the ongoing installation series 'Wish Tree' (started in 1996) will also be presented. The exhibition is part of a dense program that also includes shows by photographer and activist Zanele Muholi (celebrating LGBTQIA+ communities), Finnish Sámi artist Outi Pieski (exploring identity, culture, and environment), and historical painter John Singer Sargent.
