exhibition · 2026-04-27

The Broad museum in Los Angeles presents 'Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind,' the artist's first solo museum exhibition in Southern California. The show traces Ono's six-decade career from her early Fluxus experiments in the 1950s to her participatory installations of the 2000s. It highlights how Ono's instructional works—poetic and political—transformed spectators into collaborators. Ono, now 93, remains a pioneering figure in conceptual and participatory art.
