Mieko Shiomi. Event for the Midday (In the Sunlight). 1963. Event Score. Ink on paper, 4 9/16 x 7″ (11.5 x 17.8 cm) Complementing Ono’s Grapefruit are a number of small event cards by Mieko Shiomi that elicit the spectator to perform mundane tasks of the mind and body. Asking participants to open and shut their eyes seven times at varying intervals over the course of seven minutes and then to look at their hands, Event for the Midday ( In the Sunlight ) is emblematic of the mundane nature of these events.

Laurence Neron-Bancel is interested in how memory works as a (re)constructive process that reproduces, filters, changes, and interprets the past and the present. As such, her collages are built through a process of exploring the notions of collection, recollection, juxtaposition and adaptation.She derives her inspiration from a deep desire to retain a sense of fantasy, youth and freedom within her life. She also loves to use materials which might otherwise easily be ignored or discarded. Born in France, Laurence has lived in the New York Area since 1996.Voluntary work as a docent at the Whitney Museum of American Art since 2008,  as well as at the Neuberger Museum of Art since 1999 has given her an extensive knowledge of art history that reinforces her own artistic choices. In addition to this academic training, Laurence’s professional experience organizing trips to museums, galleries, international art fairs and artists’ studios, keeps her in tune with the latest trends in New York
