Pay This Some Mind (Final Version)

“Pay This Some Mind!” (Final Version)
Acrylic and Mixed Media, 16x20, 2024
Part of the Voices in Protest series

This painting began as an abstract attempt to say something honest about Pride without co-opting someone else’s struggle — but as it grew, it became a larger conversation. Inspired by the 1969 Stonewall uprising and set in front of the U.S. Capitol, the piece features figures modeled after Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, holding signs — including one left blank.

At its first showing, visitors were invited to fill in that empty sign with their own messages using sticky notes. What emerged was powerful: voices speaking out on veterans’ care, immigration, personal identity, and resistance.

🌸 “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we are seeds.”

This final version preserves those community messages, woven into the piece’s DNA — but the invitation still stands.
What would your sign say?
Drop it in the comments or visit the gallery — and add your voice.

️ This painting appears alongside Before the Noise and Words Woven Walking Waukegan, other works in this unfolding story. You can view the full series in this album.

Before the Noise

️ Before the Noise
Acrylic on Canvas, 16x20, 2024
Part of the Voices in Protest series

A quiet moment before history makes a sound.

Set in a 1950s gay bar, Before the Noise captures the tension and coded communication of a time when being yourself meant risking arrest — or worse. The figures avoid eye contact, communicate through mirrors, and stare into drinks, doing their best to remain invisible. No one looks happy. It’s quiet, dim, and guarded. It was survival.

This work stands in contrast to Pay This Some Mind!, which draws from protest imagery full of sound, color, and community. Together, these works form a spectrum — the silence before, and the roar after.

️ See the rest of the Voices in Protest series in this album, including Words Woven Walking Waukegan, which transforms audience interaction into a unified visual chorus.

Words Woven Walking Waukegan!

️ Words Woven Walking Waukegan
Acrylic, Ink & Collage on Canvas, 8x10, 2025
Part of the Voices in Protest series

Built from the actual sticky notes submitted by viewers of Pay This Some Mind!, this piece becomes a chorus of voices layered over a gray urban backdrop. Floating post-it signs, each handwritten by someone who stood before the painting, capture the immediacy and intimacy of lived convictions — “No Human Is Illegal,” “We the People,” “Hands Off Veterans’ Care.”

Silhouetted figures march below, faceless but unified. The messages they carry—yours—create the color, rhythm, and purpose of the scene. This piece wouldn't exist without the community, and now it speaks for them.

️ View this alongside the other works in the series—Before the Noise and Pay This Some Mind!—to experience the emotional spectrum of protest, from hidden fear to collective expression.

DAS GIFT - Yoko Ono Exhibition, Berlin 2010

(for English scroll down)

Eröffnung: 10. September 2010, 18:00 - 21:00 Uhr, Heidestrasse 46, 10557 Berlin (10. September - 13. November 2010)

Haunch of Venison präsentiert Yoko Ono mit der grundlegend neuen Installation ‚Das Gift‘ vom 10. September bis zum 13. November 2010 in Berlin.

Yoko Ono gilt als Pionierin der Konzeptkunst. ‚Das Gift‘ besteht aus Filmen, Tonaufnahmen, Skulpturen und partizipativen Elementen und wurde eigens für die Ausstellung bei ‚Haunch of Venison‘ konzipiert.

Ono begann in den 1950er Jahren sich mit Konzeptkunst und partizipativer Kunst auseinander zu setzen. Ihre konzeptuelle Arbeit Grapefruit, eine Ideensammlung für Performances in Buchform, die 1964 entstand, liegt der Ausstellung in Berlin zugrunde. Ono behandelt die Themen Gewalt, Heilung, Veränderung oder Liebe mit sehr unterschiedlichen Mitteln und hinterfragt die Dichotomie von Persönlichem und Globalem.

Die Arbeit ‚A Hole‘, eine zugleich fragile, aber auch brutal anmutende Skulptur, welche einen Schwerpunkt in der Ausstellung bildet, besteht aus einer Glasfront, in deren Mitte ein sternförmiges Einschussloch prangt. Ins Glas eingraviert ist eine Aufforderung: „Gehen Sie auf die andere Seite der Glasscheibe und blicken Sie durch das Loch.“ Onos Anweisung fordert auf, beide Perspektiven, die des Aggressors sowie die des Opfers, einzunehmen, und somit zwei entgegengesetzte Standpunkte zu beziehen.

Yoko Ono sagt zu ihrer Ausstellung: „Ich will auf die Gewalt hinweisen, die überall in der Welt passiert. Ich bitte die Menschen, die in die Ausstellung kommen, ein Zeugnis einer persönlichen Gewalterfahrung mitzubringen, beispielsweise ein Foto oder einen Text, die an der Wand angebracht werden sollen. Im Obergeschoss der Galerie wird es hingegen einen Raum geben, in dem man einfach lächeln soll.“ Das Lächeln der Besucher wird auf Video aufgenommen und im Ausstellungsraum projiziert.

Yoko Ono wurde 1933 in Tokio geboren. Sie wuchs in Japan und New York auf und besuchte das Sarah Lawrence College. Ono gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Vertreterinnen der Fluxus-Bewegung der 1960er Jahre. In ihrer Arbeit konzentriert sie sich hauptsächlich auf Performance und Konzeptkunst, wie auch experimentellen Film und Musik. Zu ihren wichtigsten Arbeiten werden die Konzeptarbeit Cut Piece und ihr Buch Grapefruit gezählt (beide 1964). - Ono lebt und arbeitet in New York.

Haunch Of Venison
Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahre 2002 in London präsentiert die Galerie Haunch of Venison in London, Berlin und New York ein breites und von Kritikern viel beachtetes Ausstellungsprogramm mit einigen herausragenden Vertretern zeitgenössischer Kunst. Die Berliner Dependance wurde im September 2007 eröffnet.

THE POISON - Yoko Ono Exhibition, Berlin 2010

Opening: September 10, 2010, 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., Heidestrasse 46, 10557 Berlin (September 10 - November 13, 2010)

Haunch of Venison presents Yoko Ono with the fundamentally new installation 'The Gift' from September 10th to November 13th, 2010 in Berlin.

Yoko Ono is considered a pioneer of conceptual art. 'The Gift' consists of films, sound recordings, sculptures and participatory elements and was conceived specifically for the exhibition at 'Haunch of Venison'.

Ono began to engage with conceptual art and participatory art in the 1950s. The exhibition in Berlin is based on her conceptual work Grapefruit, a collection of ideas for performances in book form, which was created in 1964. Ono deals with the themes of violence, healing, change and love using very different means and questions the dichotomy of the personal and the global.

The work 'A Hole', a fragile yet brutal-seeming sculpture that forms a focal point of the exhibition, consists of a glass front with a star-shaped bullet hole in the middle. Engraved into the glass is an instruction: “Go to the other side of the glass pane and look through the hole.” Ono's instruction calls for you to take on both perspectives, that of the aggressor and that of the victim, and thus take two opposite points of view.

Yoko Ono says of her exhibition: “I want to point out the violence that is happening all over the world. I ask people who come to the exhibition to bring with them a testimony of a personal experience of violence, for example a photo or a text, to be hung on the wall. On the upper floor of the gallery, however, there will be a room where you can simply smile.” The visitors' smiles will be recorded on video and projected in the exhibition room.

Yoko Ono was born in Tokyo in 1933. She grew up in Japan and New York and attended Sarah Lawrence College. Ono is considered one of the most important representatives of the Fluxus movement of the 1960s. Her work focuses primarily on performance and conceptual art, as well as experimental film and music. Her most important works include the conceptual work Cut Piece and her book Grapefruit (both 1964). - Ono lives and works in New York.

Haunch Of Venison
Since its founding in London in 2002, the Haunch of Venison gallery has presented a broad and critically acclaimed exhibition program with some outstanding representatives of contemporary art in London, Berlin and New York. The Berlin branch was opened in September 2007.

***** Erste Etage / First Floor *****

HELME (STÜCKE VOM HIMMEL) / HELMETS (PIECES OF SKY)
Alte deutsche Helme aus den letzten Kriegen sind hier und bilden einen eigenen seltsamen Wald mit STÜCKE VOM HIMMEL in jedem von ihnen. - Nimm ein Stück Himmel mit nach Hause.

Old German helmets from the last wars are here, creating a strange forest of their own, with PIECES OF SKY in each one of them. - Take home a piece of sky.

SCHATTEN / SHADOWS
Drei Realitätsebenen werden gleichzeitig gezeigt, indem sie sich gegenseitig überlagern und zu einer Realität werden. Die erste Ebene ist das, was in der Welt geschieht. Die zweite Schicht sind die Menschen, die Schatten sind. Die dritte Schicht bist DU, der steht, geht und die beiden Schichten beobachtet und Teil dieser Realität wird.

Three layers of reality are being shown simultaneously, by overlapping each other and becoming one reality. The first layer is what is happening in the world. The second layer is people who are shadows. The third layer is YOU, standing, walking and observing the two layers and becoming part of this reality.

HEIL / HEAL
Eine große Leinwand mit Rissen und Schnitten auf der Leinwand. Sie sind eingeladen, sich am Flicken der Risse und Schnitte zu beteiligen. Denken Sie daran, dass Sie sich selbst und die Welt flicken, während Sie sie flicken.

A large canvas with rips and cuts in the canvas. You are invited to take part in the mending the rips and cuts. Think that you are mending yourself and the world, as you mend.

EIN LOCH / A HOLE
Es ist ein Werk, bei dem man zweimal die Position wechseln muss, um es zu betrachten. Einmal von vorne, um sich selbst als Schütze zu sehen. Einmal von hinten, um sich selbst als denjenigen zu sehen, auf den geschossen wird.

It is a work which asks you to change your position twice to observe it. Once from the front to see yourself as the shooter. Once from the back to see yourself as the one being shot.

MANTEL / COATS
Ganz am Ende des Raumes hängen sieben Mäntel in einer Reihe, die alle den Personen gehören, die sie trugen, als sie aus nächster Nähe erschossen wurden. Gehen Sie durch die sieben Mäntel, um Ihren Schatten mit dem der anderen zu vermischen.

Seven coats hang at the very end of the room in a row, all belonging to people who were wearing the coats when they were shot point blank from close range. Walk through the seven coats to mix your shadows with theirs.

DER SCHREI / SCREAM
Ein Schrei durchschneidet den riesigen Raum, der mit Gewalt aus allen Ecken der Welt gefüllt ist. Es ist die Stimme der Seevögel namens Kittiwakes aus Gateshead in England. Die Geräusche der Kittiwakes sollen der Klang der "Seelen der verlorenen Kinder" sein. Dann hört man die Krähen und Zikaden aus Tokio zusammen schreien.

A scream cuts through the huge room filled with violence from all corners of the world. It’s a voice of the sea birds called Kittiwakes from Gateshead in England. The sounds of Kittiwakes are said to be the sound of the “The Souls of Lost Children.” Then you hear the crows and cicadas from Tokyo screaming together.

TAUSENDFÜSSLER / CENTIPEDES
Als Sie aufschauen, um den SCHREI zu hören, bemerken Sie riesige Tausendfüßler, die an der Wand krabbeln, und die Tatsache, dass die Größe aller Ereignisse im Raum im Verhältnis zu den Tausendfüßlern verschwindend gering ist. - Da wird Ihnen klar, dass der Raum, den Sie für die Weltkarte hielten, nur ein dunkles KELLERGESCHOSS DES TAUSENDFÜSSLERS war.

As you look up to listen to the SCREAM, you notice huge centipedes crawling on the wall, and the fact that the sizes of all happenings in the room are infintessimal in proportion to the centipedes. - You realize then that the room which you thought of as the Map of the World was only a darkish BASEMENT OF CENTIPEDES.

PASSAGEN FÜR LICHT / THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT
Ganz am Ende des ersten Stocks gibt es einen kleinen Raum mit dem Titel PASSAGEN FÜR LICHT, der aus drei Veranstaltungen besteht.

There is a small room at the very end of the first floor called THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT consisting of three events.

Das erste Werk trägt den Titel: / The first work is titled:

ERINNERTE GEWALT / MEMORY OF VIOLENCE
Neun Leinwände mit Stadtplänen von Berlin sind an der Wand zu sehen. Es sind Leinwände mit Stadtplänen von Berlin aus verschiedenen Epochen, der erste stammt aus dem Jahr 1890. - Sie werden gebeten, Ihre persönlichen Erinnerungen an Gewalt mitzubringen, wenn Sie DAS GIFT betreten.

Sie können sich an GEDENKEN DER GEWALT beteiligen, indem Sie ein Foto, einen Brief und/oder etwas Geschriebenes mitbringen und es an die Leinwände in der Zeit und an dem Ort in den Karten anheften, wo es Ihrer Meinung nach hingehört - vielleicht an einem Ort, an dem Sie einst gelebt haben, an dem Ihre Familie einst lebte oder an dem Sie eine besondere Erinnerung haben, die Sie mit uns teilen möchten. Da immer mehr Erinnerungen an Gewalt zu den Leinwänden hinzugefügt werden, ist es möglich, dass Ihre Erinnerung von den Erinnerungen anderer überdeckt wird.

Nine canvasses of maps of Berlin are on the wall. They are canvases of street maps of Berlin from different periods, the first one being from 1890. - You are asked to bring your personal memories of violence when you enter DAS GIFT.

You can participate in MEMORY OF VIOLENCE by bringing a photograph, a letter, and/or something you have written, and pinning them onto the canvases in the period and the place in the maps you feel they belong – perhaps in a location where you once lived, or where your family once lived, or where you have a particular memory you wish to share with us. As more and more memories of violence are added to the canvases, it’s possible that your memory may be covered by memories of others.

Das zweite Werk von DIE PASSAGE FÜR LICHT ist
The second work in THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT is

SAMEN / SEEDS
Auf dem Boden dieses Raumes DIE PASSAGE FÜR LICHT liegen Mullkugeln mit Grapefruitkernen darin. - Sie sind eingeladen, immer mehr Gaze um diese Kerne zu wickeln, bis die Kugeln so groß werden, dass sie nicht mehr aus dem Raum herauskommen.

Balls made of gauze with grapefruit seeds in them are on the floor of this room THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT. - You are invited to continue to wrap more gauze around these seeds until the balls become so large that they cannot get out of the room.

Das dritte Werk von THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT ist
The third work in THE PASSAGE FOR LIGHT is

ZERSCHLAGENES KRISTALL / SHATTERED GLASS
Fegen Sie den Raum mit einem Besen.
Sweep the room with a broom.

***** Zweite Etage / Second Floor *****

Der letzte Raum der Ausstellung, der sich direkt über dem GEDÄCHTNIS DER GEWALT befindet, ist…

The last room in the show, which is a room right above the MEMORY OF VIOLENCE, is…

BERLINER LÄCHELN / BERLIN SMILE
Setzen Sie sich auf den dafür vorgesehenen Stuhl vor die Kamera und schenken Sie der Welt Ihr Lächeln aus Berlin. Ihr Lächeln wird sich zu anderen Lächeln aus anderen Städten und Ländern gesellen, indem es ins Internet gestellt und in meinem Archiv aufbewahrt wird, damit es bei jeder Gelegenheit gezeigt werden kann. Es ist eine Petition für den Frieden.

Sit on the designated chair in front of the camera, and give your smile to the world from Berlin. Your smile will join other smiles from other cities and countries, by being sent out on the internet, and being also preserved in my archive to be shown whenever there is a chance. It is a petition for peace.
