" 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

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." "

I covered the exhibition YOKO ONO: THE RIVERBED at the
Gardiner Museum back in 2018
Show featured a collection of river stones honed and shaped by water over time, some inscribed by Ono with words such as dream, wish, and remember. One of the stones was stolen. All hell broke lose. This stone was not stolen, and was return to the pile after photo taken. Have loved myself ever since (but I shoulda kept the stone)

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.

BETWEEN THE SKY AND MY HEAD
by Yoko Ono
Just before the worldwide announcement of the economic shock, my son announced the birth of a music company called CHIMERA. Nice name. The first sound Ki, is Ki:Air, and the minute you pronounce that syllable, you feel the power of Ki.
Music world was at the lowest point then. Many music related outfits were closing down. So why a new company? We all wondered what my son thought he was doing. Is he going crazy? But when I looked closely into what he was doing, I suddenly realized that he was attempting to create a kind of revolution in the music world. It was a quiet manifesto of a young producer trying to change the system for the better. Oh, that's where he's going? I was shocked.
It reminded me of what I did in Chambers Street Concert Series 50 odd years ago. It also was John and me, how we went gung-ho about our ideas and went with all of them, no matter what. The blood is speaking, I thought. The son is wearing a suit. We wore beatnik black and then hippy blue. But the spirit seems to not have died. It may have gotten stronger, in fact. In those days, the music world was not so controlled corporatively and legally. So it wasn't difficult to cut through to try to change the scene. It's a harder game now.
I recorded and gave two new songs to Chimera to celebrate the beginning of it's musical voyage. Then Sean said I should do my next album with Chimera. I thought, OKAY. In a real world, jumping into making an album with your son, is probably a no, no move for a mother to take. If it's all alright, then fine. But once there is an argument, it may get out of hand. But those things hadn't occurred to me. It seemed like a beautiful wide road was presented to me, and I would be a fool to not take it.
The sessions went more than great. We both learnt about each other in the way we haven't ever, by learning to respect each other's musicianship. I thought I was taking a big chance. But instead, I saw that we were creating miracles. I not only found out that my son was a brilliant music man, but he knew how to deal with musicians. Encouraging them while he got them to do what he had wanted them to do, kinda thing. Which is a normal thing all producers do. But seeing your son do it was like seeing the NY City for the first time. Even with me, he was his professional self- saying good morning and rushing to me to hug me when I arrive at the studio. When did I see him do that, except when he was five, maybe, I thought.
We communicated on the most intricate level of musical exchange. It was intense - night and day. And never a bad word passed between us.
It relaxed me, too, to be part of Chimera. Because, unlike the scenes I was use to travelling, the group of Chimera musicians are all songwriters of the future. And it's nice to know that I am one, too. Well, I am, baby. Don't have any doubts about that one!
It's also an honour bestowed on you by your son that he wanted to do yours first. Well, if you think that's saying a bit much...give me two names of a son and a mother doing something like this...And we are speaking of a very difficult mother and son, each with own firm musical ideas. I think Sean had courage in thinking he wanted to do this.
The fact that he knew every song I wrote and remembered the intros, was a surprised to me, since John and I made a big effort in not letting our son be burdened with the memory of our music. So he did listen... without telling us... These are things I wish I could report to John. He would have loved it.
One night, I was lying down on the sofa in the studio, trying to catch a catnap. I suddenly noticed that somebody quietly covered me with a khaki army surplus coat. That was exactly what John did when we were going through a long recording session one night. The coat was that coat, except that this one was a bit new and a bit hard on my skin. I looked up, and it was Sean who was doing exactly what John did. It was really a weird moment for me. For me to say John was probably there, is so predictable. But I really wondered.
Sean is still acting like most people of his generation. When he visits his mom, he sits in his favorite sofa and start communicating with somebody on the other end of his blackberry. So I feel very lucky that I saw the other side of him. The one who can say good morning, and hug his mom, when he's on his job. Thank you son, I'm already missing the sessions. It's been great.
love, yoko

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.

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.
