A public program titled ‘Show and Tell: Yoko Ono Archive’ will examine the artist’s experimental practice through a selection of rare materials, including her influential book of instructions, ‘Grapefruit.’ The event is scheduled for September 30, 2026, at noon.
Curator Sarah Loyer will lead the presentation, according to the event announcement. The program is described as an exploration of Ono’s “groundbreaking experimental practice” and its enduring influence on generations of artists.
The archive-focused format will place emphasis on source materials rather than a conventional exhibition presentation. The announcement specifically identifies rare items from Ono’s archive as the basis for Loyer’s discussion, with ‘Grapefruit’ named as a central example.
First published in 1964, ‘Grapefruit’ is presented in the announcement as an influential book of instructions. No further details are provided about the materials to be shown, the number of works or documents involved, or whether the program will include a broader selection of Ono’s books, scores, performances or other projects.
The listing confirms the date and start time but does not provide a complete venue in the available text. It identifies the program as a presentation led by Loyer and centered on Ono’s archive, her experimental practice and the continuing impact of that practice on later generations of artists.
