Yoko Ono: Insound and Instructure

This landmark volume brings together over 80 pieces that span six decades of Yoko Ono's career, from her celebrated works of the early 1960s to recent projects. The title reflects Ono’s integration of sound and instructions into her practice; Ono creates noisy experimental music as well as “instructional” paintings. More broadly, she combines objects, texts, sounds, performances and films in countless ways, seeking to upend static definitions of art, exhibitions and even museums.The selection of works in Insound and Instructure highlight Ono’s most salient contributions across performance, installation, experimental cinema and everything in between. The pieces unfold as a nonchronological dialogue among ideas, actions and formats, reflecting Ono’s artistic and life philosophy—one which prizes imagination, process, participation and human connection.
