artwork

These aren’t new artworks, but they serve as an easy, friendly entry point to Ono’s way of thinking and creating art.

There’s also artwork shown for abandoned concepts, such as a never-built Chinese restaurant with a robotic host that was envisioned for Main Street, as well as alternative visions for the introductory land.

Inspired by Pink Floyd’s “The Wall,” Sonic Youth’s distortion, Black Sabbath’s symbolic lyricism and layered instrumentals, and surrealist artwork, “Mellon Collie” tested the Smashing Pumpkins’ limits as a band.

The free exhibition of 26 artworks, titled Learning to See, will run at the gallery until 4 May.

Some acquired original artworks, often for free, from editors who might have otherwise trashed them.
