but let's get straight underway with the yoko ono exhibition and 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 ready yes no 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 thought of her more or less just the wife of john but as 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 just 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 and it's like war wound that's the. only created this work by piece to jesus christ in one thousand nine hundred sixty five he recalls the victims of hiroshima and of its wars. the band plays on until it can no more until the music. this night without you. so in the 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 are . 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 q.

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 show shillings and then i'll hammer in 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 in him may my catholic wife forgive me. the theme of violence and the murder of john lennon goes through this installation called family portrait. and the whole. trying to play class the idea of the piece is to look through the hole and see violence in perspective of the victim. her art is one of ideas not a statics a room of makeshift coffins built like those after a massacre trees represent rebirth john hendrix yoko ono's longtime friend thinks

the art world is finally recognizing her contribution she basically invented conception conceptual ideas long before others did for instance. and structures for paydays she didn't need to make it pay. just in structure and strict payments made to sixty. yoko ono was always ahead of her time. but her themes war 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 yoko ono 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 that one can discover a different feminist and fascinating yoko ono. well it seems just surprise you him i should be impressed i say yeah i was i said i didn't really know what to expect going going in and becoming out i realized 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 woman she co-founded the avalon guard who went looks us in in new york and so basically created this

conceptual art as we know it and also these forms of performance art that went on to inspire and continue to inspire you know a whole generation of art until you know when you actually 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 a performance piece that basically made you whole most famous it was in one thousand sixty three piece and this one was performed by another artist called eco morgan 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 usually people are a bit you know president they don't want to do with them people start getting into it and starts or start 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. 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 intimate you can see this half naked on a stage you're up doing what's feels like a an act of violence towards her and i felt sort of strangely i don't know confused and in the shade a bit 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 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 you know and all the. really in terms of the kind of art it's performed and you you talked about your preconceptions mine too i have to and so many people's i mean as manisha said in the report i mean it seems she was

a way ahead of how tall yeah i definitely think so and 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 was a performance artist she's known for doing things very similar to what yoko did and in cut piece put yourself on stage interacting directly to the audience and in 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 artists you can look at and if you know the art of the old i 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 a fabulous exhibition thank you very much but don't go away because i know you like your music and you might be interested in this. music of always being 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 reckon back and right up to date with lady gaga as piano an absolute treasure trove for music lovers i it was the start of the revolution. and now the spaces at the new museum in new york being filled by the icons of rock n roll. using a corner code. 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 i'm generations in iraq and was seventy years seventy plus years old and there are still a lot of living legends who could participate who could lens their objects who 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 ringrose stock 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 managing technologies play it loud can be good as well as seen taking part as a source of pride for eagles legend don't tell jack. thanks hang 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 this year of recorded take those are all really wonderful things. that i think this is the steps above that to say it is so but i feel like the rock n roll stock can be a rough one and many of the instruments and not in the best meet the control inside made the destruction of the instruments themselves a product the performance i like this one from the late pope i mascot i wanted to hang on and i 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 very early yeah i 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 and his death had and i remember just the street to one 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 me and spoke to people i knew at the time and it wasn't just sort of i know the. expression that he gave it something the way he captured irony and the generation that both ironic and authentic at the same time had some of the like the lyrics in history and i have to say he had a kick ass voice as well a voice for. the young generation great to have you here thanks very much for being with us and thank you for watching we leave you with music from.
