Yoko Ono Exhibition "Odyssey of a Cockroach"

[HCmon]

it's interesting and has diverse meaning. Although way too simple

[SensaiMan]

Sorry, but I don't like this music, or the video! This the usual rubbish I have come to expect from Yoko.

It is a shame as I liked the Beatles, and all they stood for back in the day.

However, let us remember not all Japanese ladys are like her.

[bacofishtaco]

I am a fan of Yoko, but I don't think this is her best work.

[smokinbill]

She is a discredit to all japanese people

[drowningkid]

uhh where's the art?? all i see is shit thrown all over the place..

if this is called art then where the fuck is my cash?, my house looks almost exactly like that except without the creepy baby dolls cut up and shoved into a bin

peace out ya crazy broad

[adamkincaid1234]

Kurt Cobain would have liked the plaster baby/mannequins at 1:26. He used cut up dolls in his art

[adamkincaid1234]

those huge feet at 1:01 are fantastic. Dig, baby, dig, these feet are really big, who you gonna kid..

[KyounoGo]

she is abomination and thai whore

[KyounoGo]

I think dumber than this video I have never seen! And this untalented bitch is that it is trying to prove to the world. This is not music, it is the real shit, and there is not much to look! Damn, trash does not use for art, let she goes to ass!

[marknowhereman]

people who hate yoko are actually jealous of yoko. come on! Look at her! She is extra ordinary!

[forthehordebaby]

BOO...thats all im saying is freaking BOOOO

[lilysound]

yoko is cool

[Priegooliver]

""International Day of Painting now! The painters deserve this recognition! See our video "Dia Internacional de la Pintura 2008". Magnolito Priego Oliver""

[NightmarishGuy]

Avant-garde is just another way of saying an artist is more interested in being unusual than in creating something beautiful or thought-provoking---or, sometimes, in any way artistic. Except for the rare few who have genuine talent.

But I have to believe that people who think this video a work of genius are fooling themselves.

[dado1802]

Exactly, that's why I always put modern composers rather as performers than musicians. In 20th century music is for eyes.

Then music is not to be listened, only detect it's sense. And only in that point of view it can be interesting. Like this video.

[Rustam1327]

Wow... maybe I'm not into this whole "avant-garde" movement, but like a lot of these paintings that look like someone threw up a rainbow (and is considered high art) I really see no artistic value in this, let alone a sincere message that she is trying to deliver to the audience. Why are people gushing over Yoko? What makes her so powerful and interesting as an artist? This song is nothing but a beat over and over with random bits of video.

[asianlyra]

i think yoko is brillant! she's got the talent and i think she's a powerful woman..

[Whitestripes33]

If it wasn't for the shitty 'Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles' theories, she probably wouldn't be taking as much shit as she does (as beautifully displayed in the comments for this video).

[indigo9nightsky]

Oh Yeah this is so wondeful....

take a couple of metal cages and throw piles of shit it in. Great job Yoko, you out done yourself this time.

[kingddd133]

omg this is genious.......i totally get what she was going for........she was going for trying to be smart and TRYING to be a conceptual BUT GUESS WHAT she realized that this doesnt have to make sense to anyone NOT EVEN HER she just has to have a name, crowd, and no taste AND THATS HOW SHE GOT INTO MUSIC TOO.....truly genious yoko....you realised that people are stupid.......stupid enough to enjoy your art and you music.......well done.......in other word EVEN TO HER she is probably a joke :)

[chrishove123]

She got into music by way of traditional Japanese singing which she studied at great length. Don't comment on stuff you know fuck all about. She is a highly talented and respected singer and artist.

[kingddd133]

except for she blows so :)

[chrishove123]

Well you're entitled to your op

pinion so lets agree to differ on this. I think she's a brilliant singer(if you don't believe she was trained in traditional Japanese music listen to her breath control. No amateur can breath like that whilst SINGING.) and one of the greatest conceptual/avant-garde artist of the modern times. lets just leave it at that as neither of us will convince the other one to think any different.

[kingddd133]

alright well im not really into this kind of stuff usually anyway. i like GOOD music and by that i mean something done well and i honestly dont think she sings well, but you're right so agree to disagree i suppose

[indigo9nightsky]

Shit by any name would smell as foul !

[xanadu77]

psuedo intellectual bullshit......

[indigo9nightsky]

No talent bitch. My German Shepherd taking a shit on canvas is as much art as this crap.

[BulbousAlsoTapered]

Yoko has been exhibiting her artworks in galleries around the world since 1961. When did your German Shepherd exhibit the "shit on a canvas" series? Explain your German Shepherd in relation to the tradition of such works as:

1. Gilbert & George - Naked Shit Pictures

2. Piero Manzoni - Artist Shit

3. Chris Ofili - all his paintings (Ofili "incorporates lumps of elephant dung in every work" according to BBC News)

4. Yoko Ono - Toilet Piece

Don't comment on conceptual art if you don't know shit!

[kingddd133]

maybe you shouldnt comment on conceptual art if you dont know shit.....PLEASE PLEASE ME by telling me what each piece means and i bet it will take you a LONG, LONG, LONG time.....right now I'M SO TIRED so to you i say GOOD NIGHT (maybe you could please tell me whay i did just then too :))

[BulletproofCyrus]

Okay director!

[dbonanno]

And the people who praise this stuff would be able to come up with hours of bullshit to explain the meaning of your German Shepherd's shit and how it's a social commentary on the subjugation of German Shepherds by the military/industrial/prison complex. "Imagine peace"; no shit, really? So peace is a GOOD thing? I never would have thought!

[Renemoro]

esta señora es una mamarracha, seudoartista, seudointelectual, inteligente si es pues le ha logrado lavar la cabeza a miles de personas con su supuesot arte que no es otra cosa q basura acomodada

[girlinsanfrancisco]

hey u fucking illegal mexican short fattie

go fry some hamburgers at mcdonalds and shut the fuck up

[Renemoro]

Oh im so hurt, you "americans" are the most pretencious bitches in the world. im not illegal im not short and im not fattie, and yes i live in mexico. i think that your country is full of people so fat and stupid, racist, love wars, industrialization and capitalism. and your hate about inmigrants only afirm your lack of brain, ALL OF YOU ARE INMIGRANTS! you KILLED the culture of natives, and call yourself americans, you are not!

i hope girl in san francisco, that a bomb implodes on your toilet

[Renemoro]

y a ver si aprendes español pendeja, tal vez mi ingles no sea excelente. pero lo intento. creen que el mundo esta para servirlos, pobres idiotas. y seguramente eres fanatica de la mierda de mcdonalds, la grasa la debes de tener acumulada en tu trasero de gringa pedorra, que hermosa cultura tienen, la gastronómica sobre todo, y artistas ni se diga, la talentosisima de Yoko ono y britney spears. me meo en ti cabrona!

[prettynpinciii]

Bravo!!!!

[Renemoro]

sorry it was not my intention to offend all Americans, only those who think and say things like girlinsanfrancisco, I apologize but this person made me mad and as in every country there are wonderful people and one that is worth nothing

[mariananocturneop9n2]

me kito el sombrero..a webo!!! :D jajajaja asi se habla y m hiciste cagarme d la risa

[chrishove123]

If you knew anything it was Yoko that got John into surrealism and experimentation both musically and artistically. Before he met her he regarded it all with the same puerile juvenile closed mind as you do. It was actually Paul who was into all that well before John and if you do your research you'll find he made surreal films which you would probably regard as pretentious bullshit. The Beatles had a lot to thank her for.she didn't break them ups . Ringo quit during the White Album for a while.

[Stevefriend13]

1:30 is like OMG! she is so talented!

[kingddd133]

I KNOW you can really get a good view of a cliched piece......seriously my art class did this first day COME ON

[jessecampbell0089]

She is 70 and still doing what she do and damn she's doing it well. Go ahead Yoko!

[YoMecanica]

Hey, I actually didn't dislike this... as I thought I would.

[LonghornJed]

now i know there is a satan

[AirmanCylon401]

Will somebody PLEASE go over and bump the record player?!? Geez, I knew we should have brought the CD player!

[HeadFullaDead]

artsharyne, you are an idiot. Yoko has THE worst voices of ALL time. You must realy get a kick out fingernails on chalkboards and snifing glue. "an icon to us all?" are you crazy. you must be her daughter or something

[tyla140]

STFU!I'm NOT her daughter,but a damn well close! Try granddaughter and give no shit back, thanks.;)

[huwfylt]

wow interesting.

[jolandasterbloem]

she is a real aquarius...

[g0z0b0y]

In darkness this exibition would look better

[ROBOCOPOUT]

In darkness all angels follow the light.

[professionallynasty]

guymandude...

your name sounds like you have something to prove.

I'm jus sayin.

[bababuba]

Actually Yoko donated most of the fortune of John to amnesty international, and she also gave his music rights to amnesty. So how can u say something so cruel about her mate?

[guymandude7]

Yoko sucks, she is a cockroach, and Leggfan you rock!! Tell these idiots the truth about Yoko, I know you know. You, Tralman1965 and 2Tellthetruth are the only ones here that are cool because you all know what a phoney Yoko really is. All she ever did was sponge off of John and use his money to buy cows. She has as much talent as those cockroaches and flies she likes to use in her movies.

[freeseagull1980]

hei, bite your tongue before talking about such an incredible Lady as Yoko is (with a capital L) and a vanguardist artist as well, who actually made John politically and ideologically conscious and love him as no one and saw her man be murdered in front of her. Bite your tongue!! And wake up: she's an example for millions of people, and women specially.

[artsharyne]

I couldn't agree more. Yoko Ono is one of the world's most amazing, brave, creative & enduring women. She really is an icon for us all. I love that she hasn't let tragedy turn her bitter but has responded with challenging & intelligent art. Age hasn't held her back either. She is still incredibly cool at 70+ - WOW!!!

[livehappy4ever]

umm yea...

[Brucedagoose]

Oh come on! "Yoko Ono is one of the world's most amazing, brave, creative & enduring women. She really is an icon for us all." She has none of those qualities. She latched on to John Lennon like a leech. The world would have never heard of her if she hadn't parasitically attached herself to him and rode on his coat tails to fame and fortune.

[ForYeGo]

Lennon was aware before she appeared, and owes nothing to her, although she owes evrything to him. She even thought she could sing, and if that's anything to go by, I don't think she's a very good judge of anything.

[nintendy]

@freeseagull1980

Such true words!

i  ii iii

[freeseagull1980]

Bite your tongue before mentioning her name.

[mkerr767]

People can be such dicks .. its incredible. Guymandude7 show me the goods. Lay down your talent and your art ..where is your vid? I want to see what you can do? We can all piss on something ..show me your art mofo.

[ForYeGo]

Guy, are you sure she's that good?

[so54ysuh2en6]

Ich verstehe nicht gut. Die Neigung, das versteht, ist, aber möglich.

[lukekurtis]

Hey there.  I'm the one who created this video. Glad you enjoyd it enough to post it to YouTube!

[nareekim]

great! thanks a lot!

[popealice]

Imagine - Peace. You are not alone. Viva Yoko. Love from Pope Alice

[lovewithacapitalL]

That was really cool. Wish i'd been able to see it. My aunt and uncle saw her Grapefruit exibit in San Fran last fall, they were amazed. They weren't familiar with Yoko to begin with, so they weren't biased and prejudiced like so many people are. They broght me back 'Imgine Peace' pins. <3

[ForYeGo]

Who did you stick them into though, because Bush might be a good start.

[2Tellthetruth]

I'm sorry to say this, but Yoko's contribution to the arts is about as significant as a cockroaches contribution to my kitchen. She really is a sad excuse for talent. If wish she would just fade away.........

[Tralman1965]

I agree 2tell. This is absolute garbage and an affront to REAL artists worldwide.

[astorastilbe]

morans

[Leggfan]

Oh my God! Learn to spell "morons" before calling people that. You have Got to be ashamed. That is too funny. You made my day astorastilbe. Do me a favor and say, "fire bad". C'mon, you can do it if you try.

[BooB89]

Wahahaha!

Thanks :) you just made MY day.

[g0z0b0y]

favour dear you spell badly as well

[astorastilbe]

are not you aware of the internet meme "morans"?

[ForYeGo]

I second you both, and the ones who say she's good, were the same ones who said the kings new cloths looked good, when he was actually naked. She is to art, as Mike Tyson is to public speaking.

[mrmayor92]

LOL

[bowiefan87]

AWSOME! Thanks :)

[grade4]

I actually wanted to see this exibition - thanks!
