Bag Piece
(Installation)
2006 / Draw a Line and Follow It
Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), Los Angeles, CA, USA

Multiples of Yoko Ono’s Bag Piece (1966) were reproduced and installed throughout the exhibition for viewers to use and interact with.

A large black sack is left lying on a platform and with the invitation to get inside it (either alone or with someone), take off one’s clothes and sit watching the gallery crowds. You can see them, but all they can see is a large, black anonymous shape. As Miss Ono suggests, this could be the perfect solution for our paranoid society, if we hung one on every lamppost and crawl into it whenever we felt things were getting to be a little too much. (From Game Mistress by Mario Amaya, The Financial Times, Saturday, November 12, 1966
