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.

Yoko Ono’s "Cut Piece" was one of the performances I did on June 11, 2008 at El Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid as part of the opening ceremony of VISIBLE : The LGBT Culture Festival, created and curated by Pablo Peinado.
Yoko Ono has performed “Cut Piece” several times from 1964 in Kyoto and Tokyo until 2003 in Paris. She has said that “Cut Piece” is her hope for World Peace and her stand against ageism, against racism, against sexism, and against violence.
This time I wanted to perform “Cut Piece” for Gay Human Rights and I wanted it to be a kind of Memorial to the ones that were repressed, oppressed, killed or executed in history in the whole world because of their sexual orientation.
In the wedding dress that I wear there are written the names of many that suffered that violence, so I asked the audience to cut and keep those names as a way of protection and love for them.
The hat I wear is not a fairy cap as some people wrongly thought. Itis the kind of pointed hood that the Spanish Inquisition put on the people to humiliate them.
The music with the video is the aria "Casta Diva" from Bellini’s "Norma". It was used in the performance along with so many other songs like Yoko Ono’s “Shiranakatta”

"CUT PIECE" de Yoko Ono fue una de las performances que realicé en el Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid el 11 de junio de 2008 como parte del acto de apertura del Festival de cultura LGTB VISIBLE que dirige Pablo Peinado.
Realizada por Yoko Ono, la obra ha simbolizado la entrega total del artista, pero también la violencia sufrida por mujeres, ancianos y homosexuales. En esta ocasión quise que esta pieza ayudara a recordar e hiciera revivir a todas las personas represaliadas, asesinadas o ejecutadas a lo largo de la historia en todo el mundo debido a su orientación sexual.
En el vestido de novia que llevaba estaban escritos sus nombres y pedí a los asistentes que los recortaran y se los llevaran como una forma de protección y muestra de amor hacia toda persona discriminada.
El gorro que llevo no es un gorro de hada como alguna gente interpretó, sino que representa el "capirote" que se ponía a los condenados por la Inquisición.
La música que acompaña el video es el aria “Casta Diva” de la ópera “Norma” de Bellini.

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."

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”.

When Bootsy met Lulu he decide to leave Be Apes.
Be Apes weren't getting any new music done anyway, they were only having monkey fun.
This is the first solo LP by Bootsy and Lulu.
It's all about silence, so when you listen to their LP you get a good nap done,
or you can take your dog out, or read a book, or make a nice cup of tea.
It's really avantgarde.
