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