" 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." "

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.

Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace explores these aspects of her work over
the course of more than forty years.
In the upper gallery, 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

stamp the phrase "Imagine Peace" on the map location of your choice. Using
the postcards provided send your wishes to the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in
Reykjavik, where they will shine on with eternally more than 900,000 others.
You are also welcomed to beam the message "I Love You" to one and all
using the Onochord flashlights. You make take an Onochord flashlight, Imagine
Peace stamp, and an Imagine Peace button as a gift to you from the artist 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 the lower gallery - and throughout the region with
Imagine Peace billboards in Akron and Youngstown.

"IMAGINE PEACE" statement
for "YOKO ONO IMAGINE PEACE Featuring John & Yoko's Year of Peace" curated by Dr. Kevin Concannon at Emily Davis Gallery / Mary Schiller Myers School of Art / The University of Akron, Ohio, July 6 - September 7, 2007
Here's something I never expected to see. She must spend all day on twitter if she follows over 278,000 people.
These pictures were taken in Karuizawa, Japan, located in the prefecture of Nagano. John and Yoko regularly visited Japan and Yoko's relatives each year.
Dear John,
Another year is about to end. A year full of disaster: the economic crisis, environmental problems, et cacetera. Still, here we are: it's Christmastime again, and I cannot help but wonder how good it would have been if you were still with us. Your lyrics are full of passion, and when you sing I can sense your soul all around me. Your voice enters my ears and goes straight to my heart. The way you sing is perfect, and the love you exude from singing is the most perfect thing that has ever existed in this planet.
I see Christmas lights, trees, presents, money: but I don't see the only thing I've asked for this Christmas: PEACE. I see no peace. I see materialism, I see people worried about times and their narcisist attitude and I still can't find people. People are stabbing eatch other's back, blaming eveybody else than themselves. How can I live in a world like this, I wonder. I'm glad to say that I've found the answer many years ago. I have JOHN LENNON, I have you, my love. You are inside my heart and inside many other's. I'm not asking you to come back, 'cause that is obviously impossible, but I'm asking you to, despite all the madness in here, be at peace with yourself, because your work in here is done, my friend. Done. But still there are people that accuse you and Yoko of naïveté. That is so wrong, John. Your 'naïve' attitudes made people aware of the duty we all have as human beings: promoting peace and love. I'm not trying to blame anyone in particular, 'cause unfortunately there's not just one person that says that same thing.
'All we are saying is give peace a chance'.
I'll leave you all with this: Is it that hard?
