Yoko Ono, whose catalog of artwork is largely interactive and participatory, is at it once again. Ono has issued a Call for Women to contribute to \u201cArising,\u201d her upcoming work at the Reykjavik Art Museum in Iceland, on view Oct. 7, 2016 to Feb. 5, 2017.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The artist has famously asked audience members to physically cut her clothes off (Cut Piece<\/em>), walk across her canvas (Painting to Be Stepped On<\/em>), be photographed demonstrating their love (Time To Tell Your Love<\/em>) and tie their wishes to a tree (Wish Tree for Washington, DC<\/em>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time, she calls for \u201cwomen of all ages, from all countries of the world\u201d to send a testimonial about harm that was committed against her because of being a woman. The installation will demonstrate difficulties that women around the world face on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The invitation was written by Ono and released via the Museum\u2019s Facebook\u00a0page<\/a>. The full statement reads:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWomen of all ages, from all countries of the world: you are invited to send a testament of harm done to you for being a woman. Write your testament in your own language, in your own words, and write however openly you wish.<\/em><\/p>\n

You may sign your first name if you wish, but do not give your full name.\u00a0Send a photograph of your eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n

The testaments of harm and photographs of your eyes will be exhibited in my installation \u201cArising,\u201d October 7, 2016 \u2013 February 5, 2017 at Reykjav\u00edk Art Museum.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I very much hope for your participation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Arising is an ongoing project and it will always be possible to add testaments. Bring your testaments and photographs of your eyes in person, send them by mail to: Arising, Listasafn Reykjav\u00edkur, Tryggvagata 17, 101 Reykjav\u00edk, or send them by email to: arising@reykjavik.is.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
