Yoko Ono

Art Gallery of NSW
Ring ring. Who's there? It's Yoko! Be sure to answer that old pay phone if you hear it ringing - just don't mention The Beatles.

Vernon Ah Kee

Cockatoo Island
In this ultimate ‘found object' piece, indigenous artist Ah Kee has put his name to a filthy, decaying toilet block covered in authentic racist graffiti.

Leon Ferrari

Museum of Contemporary Art
Ferrari's sacri-licious 1965 sculpture of Christ crucified on a US bomber has lost none of its power to shock. Wonder what the pontiff will think?  Yoko Ono

Mark Boulus

Cockatoo Island
On one massive screen, a Nigerian fisherman shakes with fury because he can't feed his children; on the other, London traders speculate on African oil futures. Devastating stuff.

Mike Parr

Cockatoo Island
See Oz art's original bad boy hold his breath till he nearly passes out, burn his finger in a candle and get his lips sewn together. Be careful not to trip over those buckets of piss.
