Cozy Ono – What does that mean?
On our way to the movies in Pasadena we noticed this very unusual “installment” in the courtyard right outside the Laemmle Theater. Yoko Ono’s Wish Trees:
WISH TREE FOR PASADENA
A TEMPORARY SITE-SPECIFIC ARTWORK
BY YOKO ONO
NOW – NOVEMBER 9, 2008
Wish Tree for Pasadena is an art installation that consists of 21 living crape myrtle trees installed amongst the café tables and chairs in the Courtyard of One Colorado. Visitors are invited to write their wishes on pieces of paper and hang them on the tree branches. Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree for Pasadena is free and open to the public.
Wishes from Wish Tree for Pasadena will be joined with others from all over the world and placed in specially constructed capsules to be installed in the area surrounding Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower on Videy Island, off the coast of Reykjavík, Iceland. The artwork is dedicated to the memory of John Lennon. The tower, a column of light emanating from a stone base with a radius of about 10 meters, is lit for two months each year starting on October 9, John Lennon’s birthday, and ending on December 9, the anniversary of his death. The artwork is also lit at certain other special times during the year. For more information, visit www.imaginepeace.com
My wish? One word: OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!
