FREE TIME
She handed out hammers, screened films of body parts, and did a Q&A where every question was answered with a question.
Yoko Ono takes over public television show Free Time for a strange and riveting hour to bring her experimental art and performance pieces to a live studio audience. This is Yoko on her own terms — not as the wife of Beatle John Lennon, but as a conceptual artist, filmmaker, and philosopher who had been pushing art's boundaries since the early 1960s.
Jonas Mekas, an avant-garde filmmaker in New York City, joins Ono and John Lennon for a Q&A and a wide-ranging conversation about the subconscious. We see several of Ono's experimental films — including "No. 4" (also known as "Bottoms"), "Up Your Legs Forever," and "Fly," interstitial excerpts inspired by Yoko’s conceptual book "Grapefruit" — specifically material connected to “Of a Grapefruit in the World of Park." Yoko explains why she believes “total communication” is the only path to total peace in the world and invites the audience to participate in her unfinished art installations.
