Event Scores | Featured Book

The following quotes by Yoko Ono are from her book, Grapefruit: A book of instructions and drawings (1964) with ‘event scores’ and conceptual prompts.

EARTH PIECE
Listen to the sound of the earth turning (1963 spring)

WATER PIECE
Listen to the sound of the underground water (1963 spring)

I recently added Grapefruit, the book, to the library after years of having these quotes stashed away in my notes. I love how they encourage one to slow down but also draw upon imaginative powers as a source for going more deeply into natural states.

I also feel that these passages are like giant pages of a book, slowly being flipped through, as we traverse the earth’s above and below terrain.

Perfect for the library and the idea of works being assembled as one large experiential edition.
