Yoko Ono began 2010 by participating in “Art Adds,” a project that exhibits her artwork on New York City taxicabs. Replacing advertisements that traditionally decorate the rooftops of taxis, Ono’s peace-promoting works (along with pieces by Alex Katz and Shirin Neshat) move throughout the city as a kind of public art. In Carol Vogel’s New York Times article about the project, Ono likens the experience to a dance, saying, “The message is always in motion.”
ONO’s Dance Club #1 with-a-bullet Smash Hit from January 2008 has been voted #4 in the 2000-2009 Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart of the Decade. Congratulations, Yoko! 1. Linus Loves Hyped Vocal Mix2.
