“I was inspired by the fact that the doors in Hiroshima all led to disaster, burnt and disappeared. I wanted to recreate the doors, and this time let them lead to world peace.”

Yoko Ono: Uncursed.
Location: Galerie Lelong - New York City.
October 28th until December 10th, 2011.
An installation of doors and figurative transparent sculptures form the nucleus of multi-media artist Yoko Ono’s second solo exhibition at Galerie Lelong, UNCURSED.
Yoko Ono says:
When we were children, we learnt at our elementary school how the warrior, Shikanosuke Yamanaka, vowed to endure seven misfortunes and eight sufferings, thereby giving all the negative things to him that would have been given to the people of his city. I was so impressed with his selfless devotion to people, I wanted to be like him when I grew up. Then I realized that so many challenging situations were given to me in life. Much later, I wondered if it would not be better to ask for seven good fortunes and eight treasures….which I promptly did. It changed my life.
Ono now envisions these same blessings for New York as a reminder of our global connectedness and the universality of human experience to “uncurse” ourselves and move on.

In my recent exhibition THE ROAD OF HOPE in Hiroshima, the city of the only country which suffered a nuclear disaster twice in the same century, I offered blessings to the people of Hiroshima and prayed that they would be given seven good fortunes and eight treasures.
