Description:
The Taubman Museum of Art presents a new exhibition from artists John Lennon and Yoko Ono entitled "Yoko Ono Imagine Peace".

The gallery is available from September 14, 2013 - January 11, 2014.

A simple message, delivered on billboards, posters, postcards, badges, T-shirts and rubber stamps, Imagine Peace exists as a seed, activated individually and collectively in the minds and actions of those who encounter it. Like much of Yoko Ono's artwork over the past forty years, Imagine Peace is a work that is dependent upon a collective realization on the part of her audience.

As she declared in 1972 single, Now or Never, " A dream you dream alone is only a dream, but a dream we dream together is reality." As is often the case with her work, this germinating idea is manifested in multiple variations.

Showcased are interactive works by Ono that demonstrate her long-standing practice of involving individuals in the process of achieving peace through the power of imagination. The exhibit also includes installations that are designed to help visitors spread the message of love and peace worldwide through the use of rubber stamps, postcards, flashlights, and buttons.
