Tip! *300 copies limited edition* For her first solo exhibition at Hundred Years Gallery, Tomoko Hojo explores the relationship between voices missing from the archive through photographs, objects, scores and sounds. Based on Yoko Ono’s historical exhibition Unfinished Paintings and Objects at Indica Gallery, London, 1966, this show Unfinished Descriptions focuses on undocumented works and highlights silenced parts of that exhibition and Yoko Ono herself. These works explore the relationship between the missing voices, especially woman’s voice in the archive and its alternative representations. Through questioning whose voices are missing and whose voices had more power in the history, Yoko Ono’s undocumented forgotten works will be recreated in playful ways. One of the significant works is ‘O14’ which is a serial number of one of the works might be exhibited at Indica show, but no documentations are left including a title. 30 artists created a score for this mysterious work based on the word list from the original exhibition catalogue and other writings about Yoko Ono. In addition to the recreations of past works, discourses around Ono’s identities as a Woman, Japanese, and a wife of John Lennon were examined through an audio work, texts and an audio-visual installation. Throughout this exhibition, voiceless voices hidden under discourses would become audible.
