Yoko Ono has shared a new series of public artworks tackling the climate crisis, to mark Earth Day (April 22). Consisting of black text on a white background, the large-scale billboards simply declare: “I Love You Earth.”
In partnership with Serpentine Galleries, the new billboards have been installed in cities across the UK, including London, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Manchester. The message also refers to Ono’s song of the same name on the 1985 album
Starpeace, which includes the lyrics: “
I love you, earth, you are beautiful / I love the way you are / I know I never said it to you / But I wanna say it now.”

The international photographer and activist Nan Goldin, a survivor of the OxyContin epidemic in the US, was followed and harassed by private investigators hired by the Sackler family, a new book claims. The founder of PAIN in 2017, a group hell-bent on holding the Sackler family accountable for the opioid crisis, has been successful in raising awareness about this notorious family-owned business. A number of high profile art institutions, including the Serpentine Galleries, The Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, have since refused gifts from the Sacklers, and many have agreed to remove the family’s name from their Museum walls.
