  • Yoko Ono and Nora Halpern on “Anton's Memory”
    SMAC
    2009, 5:09
    From SMAC: “The show is mostly based on Yoko Ono‘s early work, known as instruction pieces. These almost haiku-like pieces acquire an almost religious meaning in the Venetian house. The Catholic iconography of Touch Me becomes more profound when presented in Italy. It consist of body parts carved out of white marble and a granite bowl of water that mimics a water stoup at a Catholic church. The audience is invited to wet their fingers and touch the marble body parts. The show’s curator Nora Halpern worked with Ono to combine old and new works to create Anton's Memory. Halpern describes it as a physical representation of a sons fading memory of his mother.”

In doing so it offers an alternative and challenging perspective on filmmaking, visual arts practices and the narratives of social space, everyday life and cultural communication.”

    At Art 40 Basel, Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin presented a six-foot Takashi Murakami sculpture, made in collaboration with the US record producer and designer Pharrell Williams. The object is titled The Simple Things. It features a glass-fiber, steel, and acrylic head based on Murakami‘s cartoon-inspired signature character Mr. Dob. In its mouth you find objects which are the essentials in Pharrell Williams’ everyday life: A can of Pepsi, a cup cake, a sneaker and bottle of Johnsons baby lotion. These objects are encrusted with 26,000 diamonds and gems.
     
    In this interview with Ute Thon, Pharrell Williams talks about how cooperation came about, the idea behind the sculpture, his interest in art and design, the artists and designers he admires, and his own design works.
