  • Exhibition Outline
    PRESS RELEASE Exhibition Outline For sixty years, Yoko Ono (1933-) has freely worked across fields, connecting things that are different and producing new creative circuits among people and media. Although Ono has usually been discussed in the context of post-war American art, this exhibition will place her art in the context of her native Tokyo. Through materials documenting her early pieces, artworks she created in Tokyo in the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s, and recent works and installations, it will reveal how Ono’s activities connect modern and contemporary; Europe, Japan, and the United States; art and music and literature; avant-garde and popular culture; and society and the individual. As a pioneer of conceptual art that took her distinctive method of the use of words and language as its nucleus, Ono at times turned people’s attention to serious issues using humor and other strategies. This exhibition will offer an excellent opportunity to look back from our perspective today at Yoko Ono’s development in a remarkably international environment in Tokyo. Exhibition Highlights ■ In the 1930s, Ono received an education in music at Jiyu Gakuen kindergarten. There, she had contact with thinking that recognized no distinction between art and life, such as in composing music on the basis of a clock’s ticking and other everyday sounds. This was many years before her contact with American music trends in the 1950s and ‘60s. The exhibition will show the experiences shaping Ono’s youthful sensibilities before she embarked on an art career, as well as artworks she undertook in her teens.

  • En Décembre 1960, Yoko Ono Loue Un Loft Au 112 Chambers Street À New York
    Peintures instructions Instruction Paintings En décembre 1960, Yoko Ono loue un loft au 112 Chambers Street à New York. Le lieu est un atelier mais aussi un espace sommairement aménagé dans lequel pendant plus de six mois, avec le compositeur La Monte Young, elle présente de nombreux events d’artistes, musiciens, danseurs et compositeurs. Ces œuvres mêlent musique, art visuel et performance, et brouillent les distinctions traditionnelles. Ces « concerts » accueillent un public nombreux parmi lequel John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Henry Flynt, Simone Forti, Peggy Guggenheim, Jasper Johns, George Maciunas, Robert Rauschenberg… Mais, c’est en été 1961 qu’elle réalise sa première exposition personnelle à l’AG Gallery de New York à l’invitation de George Maciunas, architecte, designer et co-directeur de la galerie. À cette occasion, elle y expose des œuvres connues sous le nom de « peintures instructions ». L’instruction est un texte, un poème, une indication écrite ou orale, qui existe préalablement à la peinture et qui peut emprunter diverses formes et supports : peintures, films, performances, events… Pendant l’exposition, Yoko Ono transmet verbalement ses instructions, ou elle utilise des cartes manuscrites invitant le visiteur à compléter l’œuvre, rendant le résultat imprévisible. Elle souhaite que ses instructions soient réalisées par qui le souhaite. La première de ses instructions remonte à 1953. Disparues à l’issue de l’exposition, ces « peintures instructions » ont été refaites en 2015. In December 1960, Yoko Ono rented a loft at 112 Chambers Street, New York. It was a sparsely furnished space, which she used as a studio and as a place where, during a period of over six months, she and composer La Monte Young put on a series of events involving artists, musicians, dancers and composers.

  • Fluxus Performance Workbook, Opus 25 15 Published in 1990
    the FluxusP erformanceW orkbook edited by Ken Friedman, Owen Smith and Lauren Sawchyn a P erformance Research e-publication 2002 the FluxusP erformanceWorkbook introduction to the fortieth anniversary edition The first examples of what were to become Fluxus event scores date back to John Cage's famous class at The New School, where artists such as George Brecht, Al Hansen, Allan Kaprow, and Alison Knowles began to create art works and performances in musical form. One of these forms was the event. Events tend to be scored in brief verbal notations. These notes are known as event scores. In a general sense, they are proposals, propositions, and instructions. Thus, they are sometimes known as proposal pieces, propositions, or instructions. Publications, 2002 - The first collections of Fluxus event scores were the working sheets for Fluxconcerts. They were generally used only by the artist-performers who were presenting the work. With the birth of Fluxus publishing, however, collections of event scores soon came to take three forms. The first form was the boxed collection. These were individual scores written or printed on cards. The , Performance Research e classic example of this boxed collection is George Brecht's Water Yam. A second format was the book or Sawchyn pamphlet collection of scores, often representing work by a single artist. Yoko Ono's Grapefruit is probably the best known of these collections. Now forgotten, but even more influential during the 1960s, were the small collections that Dick Higgins published in the Something Else Press pamphlet series under the Great Bear imprint. These small chapbooks contained work by Bengt af Klintberg, Alison Knowles, Nam June Paik, and many other artists working in the then-young Fluxus and intermedia traditions.

  • Formidlingstekst Til Udstillingen
    (DK) Yoko Ono Transmission KUNSTHAL CHARLOTTENBORG 13 Okt 2017 – 18 Feb 2018 (BORD 1) Et udvalg af Yoko Onos tidlige værker. New York, Tokyo og Kyoto. NEW YORK, 1961 Efter en tre-personers koncert ved Village Gate og en soloudstilling på George Maciunas’ AG Gallery opførte Yoko Ono sin egen debutperformance i New York på Carnegie Recital Hall. Hendes debut var radikalt konceptuel, og hun inviterede andre kunstnere til at performe sammen med hende. Allerede ved debuten var Yoko Onos kunstneriske ideer om instruktioner, publikumsinddragelse og ønsket om at sprede sine værker til et større publikum til stede. YOKO ONO & FLUXUS Yoko Ono havde stor indflydelse på Fluxus-bevægelsen og dens grundlægger, George Maciunas, som beundrede Yoko Onos konceptuelle kunst og tanker om publikumsinddragelse. Fluxus var et netværk af internationale, radikale kunstnere i begyndelsen af 1960’erne. Yoko Ono optrådte til Fluxus-koncerter og udgav værker gennem Fluxus. Det grafiske monogram (”Homage to Yoko Ono”, 1962) danner Yoko Onos navn og er Maciunas hyldest til hende. TOKYO & KYOTO, 1962/1964 I Tokyo afholdt Yoko Ono en radikal koncert i stil med debuten i New York. Hun skabte også en udstilling med instruktioner til malerier, som publikum kunne deltage i eller gøre færdige i deres bevidsthed. ON INSOUND Et tidligt instruktionsværk, hvor Yoko Ono guider publikum til at udføre et konceptuelt kunstværk. Værket blev præsenteret sammen med andre radikale værker, inklusiv ”Cut Piece”, på hendes koncert i Kyoto i 1964. Yoko Ono udfordrer ideen om, at kunstneren selv skal skabe værket. For hende er det konceptet, den kunstneriske idé, der er væsentlig.

  • Yoko Ono's Performance Art,” Intersections 10, No
    intersections online Volume 10, Number 1 (Winter 2009) Whitney Frank, “Instructions for Destruction: Yoko Ono's Performance Art,” intersections 10, no. 1 (2009): 571-607. ABSTRACT What is currently known as “destruction art” originated in the artistic and cultural work of avantgarde art groups during the 1960s. In the aftermath of World War Two, the threat of annihilation through nuclear conflict and the Vietnam War drastically changed the cultural landscapes and everyday life in the United States, Asia, and Europe. In this context, “destruction art” has been situated as the “discourse of the survivor,” or the method in which the visual arts cope with societies structured by violence and the underlying threat of death. Many artists involved in destruction art at this time were concerned with destroying not just physical objects, but also with performing destruction with various media. By integrating the body into conceptual works rather than literal narratives of violence, artists contested and redefined mainstream definitions of art, social relations and hierarchies, and consciousness. Yoko Ono, who was born in Tokyo in 1933 and began her work as an artist in the late 1950s, addresses destruction through conceptual performances, instructions, and by presenting and modifying objects. Ono’s work is not only vital to understanding the development of the international avant garde, but it is relevant to contemporary art and society. Her attention to the internalization of violence and oppression reflects contemporaneous feminist theory that situates the female body as text and battleground. By repositioning violence in performance work, Ono’s art promotes creative thinking, ultimately drawing out the reality of destruction that remains hidden within the physical and social body.
