Starting early this morning, Houston downtown commuters could see the simple, two-word phrase that has become symbolic of positive thinking in times of crisis, “Imagine Peace,” hovering on a billboard above I-45.The billboard, a public art installation designed by Yoko Ono (and based on John Lennon’s legendary song “Imagine”) in the aftermath of 9/11, is sponsored by Deborah Colton of Colton & Farb Gallery.The installation both commemorates the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and coincides with the gallery’s “Positive Perceptions” exhibition, a reflective show featuring artists including Robert Indiana, Ultra Violet and Jonas Mekas and focusing on themes of hope, light and love
