Over 50 galleries from around the world are participating in Yoko Ono’s, T.V. To See the Sky’. Previously performed in 1966, Yoko Ono describes it as “a T.V. just to see the sky. Different channels for different skies, high-up sky, low sky, etc.”
In collaboration with the Getty Research Institute and the Feminist Center for Creative Work, Art Exchange alongside galleries around the world present a 24-hour video streaming of the sky above the gallery via Zoom. We will all share live video feeds of the sky from above our galleries — a way to bring the sky inside into our homes.
At a time of profound revolution and reflection, a time of restricted travel but great desire for connection, we seek to draw upon Yoko Ono’s invocation of the sky as a space of generative possibility and renewal as well as a territory beyond the reach of capital and ownership.
The event coincides with and celebrate the Solstice and the Strawberry Moon Eclipse (June 20-24).
As Zoom is capped at 500, you can also see the skies Live Streamed via the Getty Institute’s You Tube channel here.
