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.

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.

YOKO ONO
SPACE TRANSFORMER, 2009
"From the book Yoko Ono: Instruction Paintings (1995)
'Thirty years ago, in 1962, I did an exhibition of
instruction paintings at Sogetsu Art Center in Tokyo. A
year before, I did a show of instruction paintings at AG
Gallery in New York, but that was exhibiting canvases
with instructions attached to them. Displaying just the
instructions as paintings was going one step further,
pushing visual art to its optimum conceptualism; it
would open up a whole new horizon for the visual
arts. I was totally excited by the idea and its visual
possibilities. To make the point that the instructions
were not themselves graphic images, I wanted the
instructions to be typed.'
Conceptual and fluxus artist, poet and composer,
Yoko Ono presents here an installation from her series
of space transformations, which, as the artist has
said, work mainly as an invocation 'to constructing
in your head,' to urge viewers to make their own
transformations as they move through space and time.
"SPACE TRANSFORMER" as presented here, consists
of security barriers which delineate a specific site in the
space chosen for transformation."

Yoko Ono
Conceptual and fluxus artist, Yoko Ono, will present a work from her series of space transformations which, as the artist has said, work mainly as an invocation “to constructing in your head”. The installation being presented in this exhibition will consist of security barriers which delineate a specific site in the space chosen for transformation together with the sign "SPACE TRANSFORMER IS BEING BUILT”. The installation will be accompanied by take away cards which continue the concept as one goes through the city with the invocation to be a “SPACE TRANSFORMER”.
