Yoko Ono is not ALL THINGS to ALL PEOPLE...but sometimes genius just happens.

She did one HELL of a demonstration piece on the lawn of the Detroit Institute of Art:

"Freight Train" 1999

If art can disturb and unsettle, this was true art. My 10 year old (at the time) said "This Yoko Ono is really something."

This was buried on another thread. I found the piece VERY disturbing, especially the sounds. I got right up close to it, like a jew transported to Auschwitz would have been. I walked away VERY shaky.

2. I remember distinctly the INSTANT I realized what it was.

The thought still makes me very uncomfortable. KUDOS to Ono.
