i 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 ready 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 thought of her more or less just the wife of john button you know and you know the people the person the people say oprah 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're number that so that was my idea going into this exhibit but the this exhibit from leipzig is called pieces power and it displaced sixty years of our work i didn't 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 just because. you only created this work by piece to jesus christ in one thousand nine hundred sixty five it recalls the victims of hiroshima and of its wars. the band plays on until it can no more until the music. this night without. so in the end the artist isn't present in life but that doesn't really matter because you know oh no 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 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 shelly's 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 and am made my catholic wife forgive me. violence and the murder of john lennon goes through this installation called the family portrait. and the whole political will shrink played once 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 static a room of makeshift coffins built like those after a massacre trees represent rebirth john hendricks yoko ono's long time friend

thinks the world is finally recognizing her contribution she better basically invented a new set of conceptual ideas long before others did for instance. instructions for paving. she didn't need to make the paintings just struck transfer payments made to 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 because it's it 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 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 of 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 those amazing work that you've done before and i think really groundbreaking work i mean this is 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 a whole generation of art until you know 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 opened with a recreated in a performance piece that basically made you homeless famous it was in one nine hundred sixty three piece and this time 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 usually people are better you know has it and they don't want to deal with then people start getting into it and start start start cutting off pieces kind of pieces. took me a while as well but i'm here i might as well get involved so i got up i started. to

cut off and you know actually chop 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 is one's 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 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 and this is a piece this is one thousand nine hundred sixty three you have a couple of years before she met john lennon this is this is hugely impressive and really you know i don't know a visionary really in terms of the kind of art it's performed and you talked about your preconceptions mine too i have to and so many people's i mean as. southern

report i mean it seems she was a way ahead of her yeah i definitely think so and that's why 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 didn't cut piece putting herself on stage interacting directly to the audience i mean the threat of physical violence done to her but she did it decades after 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 hold it 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 of 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 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 and roll from blues legend muddy waters telecaster to john lennon's twelve string record back and right up to date with lady gaga piano an 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 i'm 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 and 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 go stock eddie van halen band keith richards of rolling stones fame to name just a few the exhibition is organized to magically and looks at how musicians embrace to merging technologies loud can be heard as well as seen taking part as a source of pride for eagles legend john felt. paying a 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 the history of

recorded music those are all really wonderful things the it's the met i think this is the steps of that to say that you need so much to. like the rock'n'roll stock can be a rough one and many of the instruments and not in the bass me rock n roll also made the destruction of the instruments themselves concert the performance like the smoke from the night. i must go on want to do to hang on in there go i knew that was coming at you and kurt cobain's could touch the twenty fifth anniversary just upon us of his death something that stunned a generation your generation really really 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 going up the street on the when the when that happened and people

hear people crying and were distraught. 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 what the sort of i know the angsty teenage expression that he gave it's 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 had a kick ass voice as well a voice for the only job 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 bob i from.
