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."

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”.

September 19 – November 8, 2008

Kevin Concannon, PhD, and John Noga, curators

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.

one of the packages that arrived in the mail today didn't have a return address. i was pretty baffled, until i opened the package and did a very ono-esque...noise. (it was in tribute.)

thanks to my big brother billy for feeding my love of yoko! it's also the gift that keeps on giving- i've already gotten through half of it, and this is definitely a studio fixture to get my brain going whenever i start feeling dull! and the card that was on the front of the gift wrapping was very sweet and had some pretty strong adhesive on the back, so i stuck it inside the front cover :-}

funny thing though, it doesn't taste like grapefruit!

Over the coming 15-months, we look forward to challenging the conventions of advertising with pure imagination. The rules? Each ad-work must include Art Metropole's logo and website address... the rest is... art. Welcome to Art Metropole.

This is one of the last images ever taken of John Lennon. This was taken on the day of his murder at approximately 12PM in a photo session at apartment 72 (his main apartment) in The Dakota. The photographer was Annie Leibovitz. John is looking out over Central Park from his bedroom window.

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.
