Nutopia Die Konzeptuelle Nation Nutopia Wurde Am 1 Nutopia Die konzeptuelle Nation Nutopia wurde am 1. April 1973 von Yoko Ono und ihrem Mann John Lennon gegründet. Der Text von Lennons weltberühmten Lied Imagine gab Ausschlag zur Konzeption von Nutopia die besagt, dass es „kein Staatsgebiet, keine Grenzen, keine Pässe, sondern nur Leute gibt. Nutopia anerkennt keine anderen Gesetze als die kosmischen. Alle Bewohner sind Botschafter von Nutopia. Die Bürgerschaft kann erlangt werden indem man erklärt, dass man sich der Existenz von Nutopia bewusst ist.“ Die Hymne von Nutopia besteht aus wenigen Sekunden der Stille, was auf den Einfluss von Johne Cage, einem engen Mitarbeiter von Ono, zurückzuführen ist. Die Fahne ist ein weisses Stofftaschentuch, das Siegel ein Seehund (Siegel und Seehund wird im Englischen mit dem gleichen Wort bezeichnet). Am Eingang des Dakota Buildings in New York, der ehemaligen Wohnadresse von Ono und Lennon, weist eine gravierte Tafel auf die „Botschaft von Nutopia“ hin. Nutopia Le 1er avril 1973, jour des poissons d’avril, Yoko Ono et John Lennon fondèrent une nation conceptuelle, la Nutopie. La loi organique de la Nutopie s’inspire des paroles d’une célèbre chanson de Lennon, Imagine. Selon une déclaration officielle, la Nutopie : «ne possède ni territoire, ni frontières, ni passeports ; elle n’abrite que des gens. La Nutopie ne reconnaît pas d’autres lois que les lois cosmiques. Tous les citoyens de Nutopie sont les ambassadeurs de leur pays. Pour obtenir la citoyenneté, il suffit de déclarer qu’on a entendu parler de la Nutopie.» Dans la tradition de John Cage, proche collaborateur de Yoko Ono, l’hymne national nutopien (qui figure sur l’album Mind Games de John Lennon) consiste en quelques secondes de silence. Le drapeau nutopien est entièrement blanc. Le sceau officiel représente un phoque (en anglais, « sceau » et « phoque » se traduisent tous deux par un homonyme, seal). Enfin, une plaque portant l’inscription AMBASSADE DE NUTOPIE fut apposée à l’entrée du Dakota Building, où vivaient Yoko Ono et John Lennon à New York. Nutopia On April Fool’s Day, 1973, conceptual artist Yoko Ono, together with her husband and frequent collaborator John Lennon, founded the conceptual nation of Nutopia. The informal Organic Law of Nutopia was framed around the lyrics put to Lennon’s Imagine. The official declaration of Nutopia states that "[it] has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people. Nutopia has no laws other than cosmic. All people of Nutopia are ambassadors of the country. Citizenship of the country can be obtained by declaration of your awareness of Nutopia." Perhaps following the influence of John Cage, a close associate of Ono’s, the Nutopian anthem (included on Lennon’s album Mind Games) consists of only a few seconds of silence. The flag of Nutopia is white. The official seal of Nutopia is a seal, the sea-mammal. A plaque engraved with the words "NUTOPIAN EMBASSY" was installed at Ono and Lennon’s home, the Dakota building in New York City. UTOPICS – 11ème Exposition Suisse de Sculpture – 11.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Revue CMC Review (York University) Hédi A. Jaouad. “Limitless Undying Love”: The Ballad of John and Yoko and the Brownings. Manchester Center, Vermont: Shires Press, 2015. 132 pp. Hédi A. Jaouad is a distinguished scholar known for his expertise on Francophone North African (Maghrebi) literature. Professor of French and Francophone literature at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, he is the Editor of CELAAN, the leading North American journal focusing on North African literature and language. He is also interested in Victorian literature, with particular concentration on Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, on whom he published a previous book, The Brownings’ Shadow at Yaddo (2014). However, his current book, “Limitless Undying Love”: The Ballad of John and Yoko and the Brownings, shows a whole other side to his scholarship, for it links the Brownings to those icons of contemporary popular culture, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This is a concise, economical little study (132 pp.), but it manages, in brief compass, to be pluridisciplinary, building bridges between poetry, music, and painting. As he modestly proclaims, it shows “his passion for more than one liberal art” (7). The title, “Limitless Undying Love,” comes from a late John Lennon song, “Across the Universe.” Hédi Jaouad reminds us that the titular “Ballad” applies to both poetry and music. He compares what he has called 19th-century “Browningmania” to 20th-century “Beatlemania,” both of which spread to North America in what has been popularly described as a “British Invasion.” Lest the reader assume Jaouad is only tracing coincidental parallels, he makes it clear from the outset that John and Yoko actually saw themselves as reincarnations of the Brownings, and consciously exploited the similarities in their lives and careers.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • John Lennon – Człowiek I Artysta Niespełniony?
    Tom 12/2020, ss. 43-72 ISSN 0860-5637 e-ISSN 2657-7704 DOI: 10.19251/rtnp/2020.12(3) www.rtnp.mazowiecka.edu.pl Andrzej Dorobek Mazowiecka Uczelnia Publiczna w Płocku ORCID: 0000-0002-5102-5182 JOHN LENNON – CZŁOWIEK I ARTYSTA NIESPEŁNIONY? JOHN LENNON: A MAN AND ARTIST UNFULFIILLED? Streszczenie: Niniejszy esej jest próbą syntetycznego, poniekąd psychoanalitycznego, ujęcia biografii Johna Lennona, zarówno jako ewidentnie zagubionego geniu- sza muzyki popularnej, jak i ofiary chłopięcego kompleksu zaniedbania przez uwielbianą matkę – później wysublimowanego w kompleks kobiecej dominacji i przeniesionego na Yoko Ono, jego drugą żonę i awangardową „muzę.” W re- zultacie ich związek, w znacznym stopniu wyidealizowany przez media, został ukazany w kontekście relacji Lennona z innymi kobietami (na przykład z ciotką Mimi), sprzecznych cech jego osobowości oraz ewolucji światopoglądowej i ar- tystycznej, która doprowadziła najpierw do dramatycznego rozdarcia między popowym supergwiazdorstwem a awangardowym artystostwem, ostatecznie zaś – do faktycznej niemocy twórczej w ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat życia. Per- John Lennon – człowiek i artysta niespełniony? spektywę komparatystyczną dla tych rozważań wyznaczać będą biografie Elvisa Presleya i Micka Jaggera. Słowa kluczowe: kompleks, trauma, dominacja, „krzyk pierwotny”, gwiaz- dorstwo, artyzm, niespełnienie Summary: In this essay, the author attempts at a synthetic insight into the biography of John Lennon, both as a confused genius of popular music and a victim of the childhood complex of motherly neglect: later transformed into the one of female domination and transferred onto Yoko Ono, his second wife and avant-garde “muse.” Consequently, their marriage, largely idealized by media, is shown here in the context of Lennon’s relations with other women (mainly his mother and aunt Mimi), his contradictory psychological traits and artistic/ ideological evolution that resulted in being torn between pop superstardom, avant-garde artistry and, in last five years, virtual creative impotence.
