The Museum Of Modern Art Show
A 7 minute film of Yoko's non-existent fly exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Yoko advertised the happening in the Village Voice and produced a catalogue for which Iain MacMillan photographed flies inside a tent which were then superimposed onto various New York scenes and landmarks. The film is comprised of interviews with people leaving the museum who are asked what they thought of the "show"; a documentary of one of Ono's performance pieces. Patrons are invited to Ono's imaginary show at MOMA, only to discover that they are there to be filmed by John Lennon. In this fashion, the spectators become the art. Staff who worked at the museum apparently knew nothing about it and were not amused.
