Yoko Ono at Sakıp Sabancı Museum

Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM) presents the most comprehensive exhibition of Yoko Ono’s work ever presented in Türkiye, realised with the support of Akbank and in collaboration with MUSAC, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León in León, Spain.

Opening to visitors on 25 June, Yoko Ono: Insound and Instructure presents an extensive selection from over seventy years of artistic production by Yoko Ono, whose career began in the avant-garde milieu of New York in the late 1950s. Comprising 67 works, including some of Ono’s earliest and most influential pieces. The exhibition spans many of the forms through which Ono has worked over the course of her career, from early instruction pieces and conceptual works to performance, film, installation, and participatory pieces. It highlights the breadth of an artistic practice that has made pioneering contributions across multiple disciplines.

The exhibition takes its title from the concepts insound and instructure, terms Ono introduced in 1964 that provide the conceptual framework for the exhibition. Extending throughout Sakıp Sabancı Museum and into its garden, the exhibition brings together works from across Ono’s career, inviting visitors to engage with questions of imagination, perception, participation, memory, peace, and human connection.

Insound and Instructure will be open to visitors from 25 June to 27 December 2026, every day except Mondays, between 10.00 and 18.00.
