Description
Contribute to a new artwork by Yoko Ono.
Entitled Secret Piece III, Ono invites people to add photos or messages to someone they love to a canvas in the Laing Art Gallery or here on this Facebook event page.
Curator, Julie Milne explains:
'Visitors can bring along a photograph of a loved one, or a note which they can then stick onto a canvas. At the end of the exhibition, the canvas will be returned to Yoko Ono to form part of a new artwork. It is very exciting that the Laing's visitors have this opportunity to see this new artwork develop.'
Yoko Ono says:
When I heard the avalanche of expressions of love pinned on my work by so many people of Newcastle, I was in tears. Yes. You proved to me and the world that LOVE IS STILL ALIVE! I enjoyed every love story pinned on the canvas that I've read. This story of the proposal on the canvas is really amazing, isn't it? I'd love to hear what happened, and I'm sure you would, too. In such a strange time we live in, it's nice that we are talking about love, instead of fear, confusion and hate. Thank you, people of Newcastle. I love you! yoko
LOVE
Love is in the air at the Laing Art Gallery, as flirtation, disappointment and intimacy are among the themes explored in a new exhibition.
Love is a new National Gallery touring exhibition, which looks at the ways artists have responded to the pains and pleasures of love over the centuries.
It features work by artists including Tracey Emin, David Hockney, Johannes Vermeer and Marc Chagall. The Laing's Marble Hall will also be home to Marc Quinn's spectacular sculpture, Kiss.
LOVE is set to be a spectacular exhibition, bringing together work by some of the world's most famous artists, both historical and contemporary.
A programme of free events at the Laing Art Gallery will run alongside the exhibition, including gallery talks and activities for families.
