Give Peace a Chance — 1969 Exhibition Installation

9 October 2019

A large cylindrical installation hangs above the exhibition floor, "Give Peace a Chance" printed in bold black type across its curved white surface. Below it, "1969" fills the wall at scale — the year John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded the protest anthem from a Montreal hotel bed. The industrial ceiling above exposes the bones of the building; the installation floats beneath it, clean and declarative. Typography as monument: the slogan still carries the same weight it did the day it was sung.
