"YOKO ONO: IMAGINE PEACE" at JEMA, Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, Gainesville, Florida, 1/2/10 - 17
"You may think, well, how are we going to get one billion
people to think peace?
Imagine peace.
Because if one billion people in the world think peace, we
will get peace.
Remember each one of us has the power to change the
world.
Power works in mysterious ways.
You don’t have to do much.
Visualize the domino effect and just start thinking peace.
The message will circulate faster than you think.
It’s time for action.
And the action is peace.
Spread the word.
Spread peace.
I love you!
-Yoko Ono, Excerpt from Statement for Imagine Peace
Exhibition at JEMA, Spring 2008.
Directions for Wish Peace:
WISH PIECE
Make a wish.
Write it down on a piece of paper.
Fold it and tie it around a branch of a wish tree.
Ask your friends to do the same.
Keep wishing
Until the branches are covered with wishes.
- Yoko Ono"

Yoko Ono: IMAGINE PEACE at JEMA/Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art [Florida, USA]
JEMA travels IMAGINE PIECE to the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, in Gainesville, Florida
JEMA proudly announces Yoko Ono’s IMAGINE PEACE is reopened at JEMA and is currently on view at the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, in Gainesville, Florida [map]. Yoko Ono’s exhibition runs from From October 6 – January 3rd, 2009-10, and includes her text-based work IMAGINE PEACE (2007) as well as WISH PIECE (1996). Viewers are invited to attend JEMA’s new outdoor sculpture garden and contribute to one of Yoko Ono’s Wish Trees by writing wishes on provided pieces of paper and adding them to the branches of the tree. Viewers and participants will note the tree provided for the exhibition is somewhat diminutive in keeping with the scale of JEMA’s gallery spaces. JEMA consultants from the JEMA Annex were present to distribute pencils and paper for Wish Peace during the October 6th opening at the Harn Museum of Art. JEMA Annex Consultants included Charisse Calaquian, Leah Floyd, Ladis Pietros, Kelly Rogers, and Matthew Whitehead. In time, all wishes will be gathered by the Annex Consultants and sent to The IMAGINE PEACE TOWER on Videy Island, Reykjavik, Iceland.
Previously IMAGINE PIECE opened at JEMA in Belfast, Northern Ireland in April, 2008. The exhibition traveled from Golden Thread Gallery, Catalyst Arts, NVTV Studios, and briefly left Belfast to open in Glasgow at the Glasgow School of the Arts.

An image comes to mind of a white, ideal space that, more than any single picture,
may be the archetypal image of 20th-century art. And it clarifies itself through a process of historical inevitability usually attached to the art it contains.”
Brian O’Doherty, Inside the White Cube
Welcome to JEMA
Advancements in technology and new ideas in contemporary art are preparing the current visual art audience to witness radically new and diverse exhibition strategies. Ideas associated with Marcel Duchamp’s Boite-en-valise (1941), and Brian O’Doherty’s Inside the White Cube (1976), have (for decades) provided groundbreaking precedents from which to conceive and approach the display of art. Advancements in internet technology, digital imaging and critical insights related to site-specificity have further expanded possible innovations in art display tactics. As a result, today’s exhibition spaces may be planned, constructed, maintained, and enjoyed with unprecedented levels of affordability, efficiency, and creativity.
The John Erickson Museum of Art (JEMA) is an example of one possible method of developing an exciting new venue for artists and viewers. It also functions as a model for discussing innovative possibilities toward the development of vital yet affordable art centers. JEMA’s portable quality offers artists an exhibition space that encourages radical experimentation with a low financial overhead. This new museum space is founded on an unwavering belief concerning the quick, decisive and efficient delivering art to the viewing public. This type of activity is an important sign of a vital cultural institution. Many art museums require years to schedule exhibitions. Moving slowly – these institutions function with power and strength but remain bogged down by red tape and expensive exhibitions.
By moving with stealth and agility, JEMA carries out its functions in a portable and thrifty manner. JEMA’s design allows for a greater focus on exhibition planning and a stronger intercommunication between the institution, exhibiting artists, and you (the viewing public). JEMA brings the art to you!
Think JEMA…more or less.
