Yoko Ono: The Road Of Hope
The prize-giving ceremony for the 8th Hiroshima Art Prize (sponsored by Hiroshima City and Asahi Newspapers), an award for contemporary artists whose work has contributed to peace, was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Hiroshima on July 29th. The avant-garde artist (78), wife of the late John Lennon, a former Beatle, was there to accept the prize. Saying that "the whole world recognises how Hiroshima picked itself up and rebuilt itself so remarkably after being totally annihilated," she spoke of her determination to evoke that power her future artistic work.
In the morning of the same day she visited the Hiroshima Peace Park, and laid a wreath at the Memorial Cenotaph for the victims of the atomic bombing. She also toured the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (the atomic bomb archive), and appealed to people to "make sure to look (at the exhibits) and don’t try to avoid them. If you haven't been there yet, please do visit, and look carefully at them all."
To commemorate the award, the museum will host her exhibition "ROAD OF HOPE –YOKO ONO 2011 until October 16th. The exhibition features works inspired by the recent disaster at Fukushima, as well as the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and embodies a spirit of hope for the future.

Born 1933 in Tokyo, based in New York.
From the beginning of her career, Yoko Ono was a conceptualist whose work encompassed performance, instructions, film, music, and writing. By the late 1950s, she had become a recognized contributor to New York's avant-garde art activities, and her reputation for thought-provoking work that challenges people's understanding of art and the world around them has remained constant.
In 1960, she opened her Chambers Street loft to a series of radical performance works, and realized some of her early conceptual works there. In 1961, she had a solo show at the legendary AG Gallery in New York of her Instruction Paintings, and later that year performed a solo concert at Carnegie Recital Hall of revolutionary works involving movement, sound, and voice. In 1962, she returned to Tokyo, where she extended her New York performance at the Sogetsu Art Center, and showed her Instructions for Paintings there. In 1964 Yoko Ono performed Cut Piece in Kyoto and Tokyo, and published Grapefruit.
From the mid 1960s onwards, there has been great interest in Ono's work internationally. She has made a number of films and has had numerous exhibitions in prestigious museums around the world. In 2011 alone she held four solo exhibitions in Tokyo, New York and Japan.
At the 2009 Venice Biennale, she received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. On the occasion of her exhibition "Road of Hope - Yoko Ono 2011" at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, she was honored with the prestigious 8th Hiroshima Art Prize for her dedicated peace activism. This year, she was given the Oskar Kokoschka Prize 2012 in Vienna, Austria.
In 2007, she created the permanent installation IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland, and continues to work tirelessly for peace with her IMAGINE PEACE campaign. For further details, see www.imaginepeace.com
Madonna & Child, The Whole Series. A film by Mary Bogdan.
To see this short film just click here.
A video presenting the whole series of the current works by Mary Bogdan, entitled Madonna & Child, Or Re-Parenting My Inner Child, which deals with the theme of change or the hope of change. The artist addresses the issue of personal evolution in her own unique way through her encounter with the creative process. Within the moments of incidental illuminations that occur along the way, she discovers hope for metamorphosis, leading to transformation and ultimately, transcendence.
The work involves the recycling, recovery, manipulation and alteration of “found” objects and demonstrates the pursuit of reinvention of self, of an approach to life or a way of being. It addresses the shaping of the self through the creation of art, both on a personal and collective level. The work looks at inner struggles and seeks a better understanding of self and its place in our society. It portrays a quest for healing – a way to undo the past or, at least, to understand the present and invent a better future.
Madonna&ChildThis subject and the whole series, in general, came about subconsciously when I realized that all of the individual pieces in this first series on paper, possessed a recurring theme... Madonna & Child (from master paintings). When casually asked by my husband Sol Lang which one I was... Madonna? OR Child?, I perhaps should have said Madonna (mother/woman), but instead, I realized that I in fact had identified more with the child in each of these pieces. I was the child. This was the catalyst which started me thinking about what was going on.... and I began a new series (of prints this time) that also touches this theme, but now I brought in a deeper understanding, which included myself both as mother and (inner) child. I completed a series of ten prints and later a second series of ten. Also in the works, is a video on the subject.

In September 1966 Yoko Ono travelled to London to participate in the Destruction In Art Symposium (DIAS), organised by Gustav Metzger, presenting her ideas in public lectures and performances, and private conversations during the month-long event.
Through Mario Amaya, the editor of Art & Artists, Ono met John Dunbar and was offered an exhibition at Indica. The new work was cool and non-emotive. Empty white surfaces whose size and relationship to the wall marked them unmistakably as paintings. Or, ‘paintings-to-be’, since all the works at Indica were listed as “unfinished”, including ‘Add Colour Painting’, wood panels with cutout perspex covering, brushes, and paints. Blank, white, and waiting, these paintings were an open invitation.
An installation of mostly white and transparent objects, the Indica show was in many ways her most cohesive of the decade, both visually and conceptually.
Joan Rothfuss/Bruce Altshuler, “The Early Conceptual Work of Yoko Ono,” Yes Yoko Ono, (New York: Japan Society and Harry N. Abrams, 2000).
“I call this Add Colour Painting. It is very important to have art which is living and changing. Every phase of life is beautiful; so is every phase of a painting”
Yoko Ono, Sunday Telegraph, 27 November, 1966
“In the Indica gallery there is a blank canvas called Add Colour; everyone is allowed to have a go, one-colour-per-person, and the picture is declared ‘finished’ the moment it is purchased”
Mario Amaya, Financial Times, 12 November, 1966

The LennonOno Grant for Peace was created by Yoko Ono Lennon to honour her late husband John Lennon’s dedication to peace and commitment to the preservation of human rights.
Created in 2002, this biennial award has always been given to two recipients.
To mark this special anniversary year, Yoko Ono presented this award to four recipients who have been selected based on their courage and commitment to peace, truth and human rights.
The recipients are:
Filmmaker Josh Fox wrote and directed the documentary feature film Gasland in 2010. Josh’s work is known for its mix of gripping narrative, heightened imagery and its commitment to socially conscious themes and subjects.
Barbara Kowalcyk was propelled into food safety advocacy in 2001, when her two-year-old son, Kevin, died after suffering an E.coli infection from tainted food. Barbara and her mother Patricia Buck created the Center for Foodborne Illness & Prevention (CFI) a national non-profit organization committed to improving public health by preventing foodborne illness through research, education, advocacy and service.
Author Michael Pollan has been writing books and articles about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in the built environment. He is the author of numerous best sellers, most recently Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual.
Author, poet, and activist Alice Walker is known for her brave stance against racism, sexism, and human rights issues. In 2009, she traveled to Gaza along with a group of 60 other female activists from the anti-war group Code Pink to oppose the controversial blockade and violence against Gaza by Israel and Egypt. Her book Overcoming Speechlessness documents her experiences in Gaza and abroad.

Miss Yoko Ono, who came to London
on the wave of auto-destructive events
which attracted so many Americans, has
struck out on her own Zen path towards
what she calls 'Concept Art'. After giving
several successful and highly professional
'concerts' she will now appear at Indica
Gallery (November 9-22) in a one-lady
show of Instruction Paintings. Associating
her work with her audience, she will invite
them to be directly responsible for the
construction of the paintings. Thus,
blank canvases and other objects in the
exhibition 'will evolve into perpetually
unfinished works that will be for sale at
any time during the show, but will never
be finished even after the sale as the
buyer and his audience are instructed to
continue adding or detracting from the
works as long as they are in existence.'
Miss Ono is also manufacturing her
Bagwear, a black sack that envelops the
entire body, and into which one is invited
to creep as a means of escaping from one's
paranoid moments. Born in Tokyo, Miss
Ono will also conduct events daily at the
gallery during the run of the exhibition.

The LennonOno Grant for Peace was created by Yoko Ono Lennon to honour her late husband John Lennon’s dedication to peace and commitment to the preservation of human rights.
Created in 2002, this biennial award has always been given to two recipients.
To mark this special anniversary year, Yoko Ono presented this award to four recipients who have been selected based on their courage and commitment to peace, truth and human rights.
The recipients are:
Filmmaker Josh Fox wrote and directed the documentary feature film Gasland in 2010. Josh’s work is known for its mix of gripping narrative, heightened imagery and its commitment to socially conscious themes and subjects.
Barbara Kowalcyk was propelled into food safety advocacy in 2001, when her two-year-old son, Kevin, died after suffering an E.coli infection from tainted food. Barbara and her mother Patricia Buck created the Center for Foodborne Illness & Prevention (CFI) a national non-profit organization committed to improving public health by preventing foodborne illness through research, education, advocacy and service.
Author Michael Pollan has been writing books and articles about the places where nature and culture intersect: on our plates, in our farms and gardens, and in the built environment. He is the author of numerous best sellers, most recently Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual.
Author, poet, and activist Alice Walker is known for her brave stance against racism, sexism, and human rights issues. In 2009, she traveled to Gaza along with a group of 60 other female activists from the anti-war group Code Pink to oppose the controversial blockade and violence against Gaza by Israel and Egypt. Her book Overcoming Speechlessness documents her experiences in Gaza and abroad.
