Sometimes puzzling, sometimes provocative, works in advertising media by artists ranging from Marcel Duchamp to Jeff Koons to 0100101110101101.ORG have both delighted and disturbed audiences that are sometimes left to wonder exactly what it is they’re seeing. Indeed, artists have used the media of advertising to communicate content that often defies viewers’ expectations and frequently challenges them. Agency: Art and Advertising is an exhibition that explores artists’ use of advertising media as sites for works of art (as opposed to the more conventional use of advertising for the promotion of work) as well as its subject. The exhibition, curated by Kevin Concannon, PhD, and John Noga, will focus on works of art in and about advertising media from the 1960s to the present.
Artists themselves, who were largely critical of commercial culture when this “ad art” phenomenon first flourished in the 1960s, are now often ambivalent about –or even embracing of –the commercialism they once critiqued. Others simply choose to use advertising media in order to extend their reach beyond conventional contemporary art audiences. Agency: Art and Advertising examines the history of art in advertising spaces –and art that addresses commodity culture through the appropriation of advertising –as it has evolved over the past 50 years.
Stop and Stare
In conjunction with the exhibition, AGENCY: Art and Advertising, shown inside
the McDonough Museum of Art there are nine captivating works that are on view
outside the Museum’s walls. Dotting the Youngstown metropolitan area are
billboards featuring gigantic images created by artists Geoffrey Hendricks,
Marilyn Minter, Yoko Ono and John Lennon, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres. These
spectacular images line the sky, compelling the public to stop and stare.

AFFIRMATION FOR PLANET PEACE
by Yoko Ono
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Our planet is healthy and whole
Every part of the planet is revitalized and healed.
We the people of Earth
See clearly, Hear clearly, Think clearly
Express and communicate our thoughts clearly
Spiritually, mentally, and physically
For the benefit of ours and other planets
we make the right judgment, right decision, right move
at the right time and the right place for ourselves and others.
We are now bathing in the light of Dawn
Standing in the Heaven we have created on Earth.
We now wish to share this Age of Joy
with all lives in the Universe.
We are all one, united with infinite and eternal love.
For the highest good of all concerned, So be it.

" IMAGINE PEACE
Yoko Ono, among the earliest of artists working in the genre known
Conceptual Arts, has consistently employed the theme of peace
and used the medium of advertising in her work since the early 1960s.
Yoko Ono Imagine Peace Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace
explores these aspects of her work over the course of more than
forty years.
Three recent pieces - Imagine Peace (Map) (2003/2007); Onochord
(2003/2007); and Imagine Peace Tower (2006/2007) - offer gallery
visitors to an opportunity to participate individually and collectively
with the artist in the realization of work. Consider the world with
fresh eyes as you stamp the phrase "Imagine Peace" on the location
of your choice on maps provided for this purpose. Using postcards
provided send your wishes to the Imagine Peace
Tower in Reykjavik, where they will shine on with eternally more than
900,000 others. Or beam the message "I Love You" to one and all
using the Onochord flashlights. Take a flashlight and an Imagine
Peace button, the artist's gift to you, and carry the message out into the
world. As Ono has often observed, "the dream you dream alone is
just the dream, but the dream we dream together is reality."
The exhibition continues in nine locations with Imagine
Peace/Imaginate La Paz billboards across the San Antonio region.
YOKO ONO IMAGINE PEACE Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace is made
possible by the generosity by Bjom's Audio Video-Home Theater, Colleen
Casey and Tim Maloney, Clear Channel Outdoor, Rick Liberto, Smothers
Foundation, and Twin Sisters Bakery & Cafe. "
" John & Yoko's Year of Peace (1969 - 70)
Ono's Imagine Peace project carries conceptual and formal
strategies the artist had employer from the earliest years of her
career, not only in her seminal solo works, but in her collaborations
with John Lennon. In 1965, she created works specifically for the
advertising pages of The New York Arts Calendar. Picking up from
her Instructions for Paintings, a 1962 exhibition at Tokyo's Sogetsu Art
Center in which she exhibited written texts on the gallery walls
designed to inspire viewers to create the described images in their
minds, Ono created purely conceptual exhibitions with her
Is Real Gallery works.
The theme of peace is also evident in works sush as White Chess Set,
recreated here as Play It By Trust (Garden Set version) (1966/2007).
Lennon's songwriting during this period had shifted from more
conventional themes of romantic love to grander anthems for the
Flower Power generation. The Baetles' worldwide satellite broadcast
of Lennon's "All You Need Is Love" in the summer of 1967 featured a
parade of signs with the word "love" in multiple languages.
The couple's most famous collaborative works, the Bed-Ins (1969)
and the War Is Over! campaign (1969 - 1970), were conceived as
elements of a large peace advertising campaign. The Bed-Ins took
advantage of the inordinate amount of press attention the couple
received by inviting the world press to their honeymoon suite where
they talked about peace! Ono told Penthouse magazine's Charles
Childs: "Many other people who are rich are using their money for
something they want. They promote soap, use advertising
propaganda, what have you. We intend to do the same."
In December of 1969, they launched their War Is Over! campaign, a
project that included billboards and posters in 11 cities of the world
simply declaring "War Is Over! If You Want It. Happy Christmas from
John & Yoko." As with Ono's earliest instruction pieces, viewers were
invited to transform their dreams into reality. Ono has explained,
"All my work is a form of wishing." "

One day, he told me to close my eyes as he examined me. I felt very uncomfortable. Suddenly, warm, wet lips were pressed on my mouth. I froze. As I opened my eyes I saw him looking down at me.
