culture true iconic rock instrument. but let's get straight underway with the yoko ono exhibition i'm scott is just back from the opening and in a way actually there's a connection there she's also an iconic figure in rock'n'roll really yeah you know really yeah of course i mean but it's interesting because before this exhibit i think i was thinking about yoko ono and what i what i think about her and i guess i mean i think we all sort of an image of her but it's really directly connected to you know her ladyship with with john lennon and i always really if i'm honest i thought of her more or less just the wife of a job by the you know and you know the people the person the people of the beatles on the or whatever but and the one who then went on to make some really strange music with john lennon and the plastic ono band if you remember that so that was my idea going into this exhibit but the this exhibit from in leipzig is called pieces

power and it displaced sixty years of our work i didn't even know she had that much artwork to show and i think it could really change the way we think about yoko ono i was at the opening and right to the very last minute we weren't sure if she was going to show up or not ok right without further ado let's have a look at the exhibition. musicians band it's like world and that's because the. only created this work piece to jesus christ in one hundred sixty five he recalls the victims of the roshan and of all that it's more. than plays on until it can no more until the music. this night without. any end the artist isn't present in life but that doesn't really matter because yoko ono very specific instructions on what is supposed to happen here. the

instructions to this audience play carpenter and create the work yourself this artwork according to legend is the one that yoko ono and john lennon met over it was at an exhibit in london and john asked yoko if he could hammer a nail into the artwork yoko said yes but it's going to cost you five shillings so john said well i'll pay you five imaginary shillings and then i'll hammer again an imaginary nail now i'll have five shillings but i do have a hammer and i have a nail and i have a hammer on him made my catholic wife forgive me. violence and the murder of john lennon goes through this installation called the family portrait. and the whole a bullet hole trying to play. the idea of the piece is to look through the hole and see violence from the perspective of the thing. her art is one of ideas not a statics a room of makeshift coffins built like those after

a massacre trees represent rebirth john hendricks yoko ono's longtime friend thinks the art world is finally recognizing her contribution she basically invented a new set of conceptual ideas long before others did for instance. and structures for paving. she didn't need to make the paintings just structures for savings to make sixty. yoko ono was always ahead of her time. but her themes more feminism the plight of refugees are more urgent now than ever. and yoko ono's work we're all asked to take part. we're all artists who can change the world. i think of this exhibit with a lot of preconceptions about you know. oh no but i'm coming away after having seen

all this work with an understanding of how groundbreaking how how influential and also how funny she is as an artist and that only really deserves her own place in our history. work arising. made years before me to abuse women sent in photos of their eyes paired with personal stories of their abuse. in lights one can discover a different feminist and fascinating. and well it seems just surprise you i'm mightily impressed i say yeah i was i said i didn't really know what to expect going going in coming out i realize i know the image i had of yoko ono was incredibly ignorant first off but also i guess really sexist i mean the idea that i only connected her with this famous man that she happened to be married to and didn't even know about all the amazing work that she done before

and i think really groundbreaking work i mean this was a woman she co-founded. in in new york and so basically created the conceptual art as we know it and also these forms of performance art that went on to inspire and continue to inspire whole generation of art and so when she took place in a bit of performance art we saw little bit she did in the report we took place in a performance in the exhibition exhibition actually it opened with a recreation of a performance piece that basically made you whole most famous it was in one thousand sixty three piece and this was performed by another artist called. and basically the performance piece is this the woman comes out on stage she's dressed in a suit has a pair of scissors she sits down on the stage and then she asked the audience to calm and start clipping off pieces of her clothes. you know president they don't want to deal with and people start getting into. in star star star cutting off

pieces kind of pieces. took me a while as well but i thought i'm here i might as well get involved so i got up i started to cut off and you know actually chopped off a pretty major chunk of fabric which i actually still have with me. i brought with me i have to say though it's strange it seems quite simple the idea but the experience itself is really quite moving i mean it's also credibly into it you can see this half naked on a stage you're up doing with feels like a an act of violence towards her and i felt sort of strangely i don't know confused and the shape that it was doing it but also i felt like i was performing a role as well which i don't know it says a lot about you can reflect about what it says about society what it says about how we view women and so forth what isn't says about about are and this is a piece this is one thousand nine hundred sixty three a couple of years before she met john lennon this is this is hugely impressive and really i don't know visionary really in terms of kind of its performance and you

talked about your preconceptions mine too i have to and so many people's i mean as . said in the report i mean it seems she was a way ahead of her yeah i definitely think so and that's i didn't realize this but you look at all these artists who are inspired by i mean a marina abramovic is perhaps the the one that really stands out for me as a performance artist she's known for doing things very similar to what yoko didn't cut piece put yourself on stage interacting directly to the audience i mean the threat of physical violence done to her but she did it decades after yoko ono she had taken a lot further and made a lot more extreme but you can see that there's some of the other artist that you can look at and if you know the art of that you who was doing even way back in the sixty's you can definitely point to and say yes she's doing those exact same things decades before and people in the art world of have recognized this finally and now she's getting really getting her place where she really deserves her own place in the history of our it seems the five biggest exhibition thank you very much but don't go away because i know. you like your music and you might be interested in

this for music fans of always been fascinated by the instruments that that idols play and at the metropolitan museum in new york an exhibition is about to open featuring some of the classic news go instruments of rock n roll from blues legend muddy waters telecaster to john lennon's twelve string work and back and right up to date with lady gaga piano and absolute treasure trove for music lovers i it was the start of the revolution i. i. i. i and now the art spaces of the net museum in new york being filled by the icons of rock n roll. using a cornucopia of instruments play it loud is taking on the history of the genre that

changed music forever it's a great time because this is one of the most important artistic movements of our lifetimes and generations now rock n roll is seventy years seventy plus years old and there are still a lot of living legends who could participate who could lends their objects you can lend their expertise to the show and that they did the collection boasts more than one hundred thirty pieces on loan from some of rock n roll's biggest names. the beatles ring goes star eddie van halen band keith richards of rolling stones fame to name just a few the exhibition is organized the magically and looks at how musicians embrace to merging technologies play it loud can be heard as well as seen taking part is a source of pride for eagles legend don fell down.

hanging on the wall here at the metropolitan museum of art is probably the highest accolade the highest honor i could get the first and third biggest selling album if you've recorded music those are all really wonderful things the it's the met i think this is the steps of that to say it is so much. like the rock n roll star can be a rough one and many of the instruments the not in the bass me rock n roll inside made the destruction of the instruments themselves upon the performance like this one from the night. i must go i want to do to hang on in there go i knew that was coming at the end kurt cobain's could touch the twenty fifth anniversary just apollo's of his death something that stunned a generation your generation really really everywhere talk about this before the show i remember so clearly hearing about his his death i mean at the fact of my generation i think that probably the generation before with john lennon his death

had and i remember just going up the street on that when the when that happened and people hear people crying and were distraught and it's strange to think about it now but i think it's something about his and his music and his lyrics really spoke to this spoke to me and spoke to basically all the people i knew at the at the time and it wasn't just with these sort of i know the thanks the teenage expression that he gave it something about the way he captured irony and the irony of our generation and how we use both ironic and authentic at the same time and had some of the like the beatles kick ass lyrics in history and that actually i have to say he had a kickass voice as well a voice for you know he general for the young generation scott great to have you here thanks very much for being with us and thank you for watching we leave you with music from nevada.
