Conceptual art

A sequel to Grapefruit. Bound in white cloth, The Other Rooms in the words of the artist, “the life of a woman seeing through the eyes of her son.”

On page after page, or room after room, Ono walks the reader through her unique expression of motherly utopian pedagogy, providing observations and i...morenstruction “pieces”. Other sequences simply describe imaginary rooms, and invite the reader to inhabit them, or suggest new approaches to tasks such as gardening, or to one’s hometown, all in the serenely open style for which Ono is so famed. The Other Rooms is joyfully interactive in this sense, finding ways “to open doors where there are no doors.”
