From the press release: "The Constitution of Japan was essentially written by US army officials from the General Headquarters (GHQ) in 1947.

From the press release: "A Spoken Word Exhibition consists of spoken artworks to be repeated by the institute's staff only when viewers request them. Spoken artworks, exchanged as a gesture between two people, generate a fleeting exhibition which disappears after words are spoken. In providing only sonic artifacts, exhibitions of worded artworks, the curator purposefully questions the viewers, ignites their listening capabilities, and implicitly questions memory. Day and night after day and night, sound stacks upon sound, spectators mentally accumulate lines, inevitably remembering and forgetting these ephemeral sentences." Yoko Ono's Word of Mouth Piece: I Love You!
From the press release: "To celebrate the strong and historic cultural links between Japan and New York, Japan Society presents this large-scale group exhibition featuring the work of 33 contemporary Japanese artists who call New York City home, including Yoko Ono, Ushio Shinohara, Kunie Sugiura, Yuken Teruya, and Aya Uekawa."

From the press release, with thanks to Miki: "In 1962, Yoko Ono wrote: “Light a match and watch till it goes out." For her Film No.1 (Match) (1966), Yoko Ono, responding to an invitation by Fluxus artist George Macunias, has experimented with a high-speed camera and recorded the burning of a match in extreme slow motion. Thus, she transformed the banality of the process into a highly charged act condensing a whole life into a single moment."
"A group exhibition of works that make sound."

Throughout the 1960s, SAC was a center for experimental animation, film, dance, and music.

Artnet: "The two-year-long art exhibition "Saigon Open City," organized by Thai art superstar Rirkrit Tiravanija and Thai curator Gridthiya Gaweewong for Vietnam’s Ho Chi Mihn City, has run into serious problems with censorship by the ruling Vietnamese Communist Party. (--) In one particularly symbolic elision, a version of the famous banner by John Lennon and Yoko Ono declaring "War Is Over If You Want It," created in solidarity with the anti-Vietnam War movement, was set to be hung across the façade of the War Remnants Museum, but has yet to be installed."

"Japanese artist Ono presents We Are All Water (2006) - a series of 118 jars
half-full of water each labelled with the name of a famous historic person, the
idea being that - influential or not - everyone evaporates sooner or later."
"Paul
McCarthy’s Low Life Slow Life: Part 1 is the first half of an evolving, two-part
exhibition presenting sculpture, photography, painting, installation, drawing,
performance, video, music, magazines, books, images, memorabilia, documents, and
films."
From
the press release: "The History of the Future, a one night only bash to celebrate
its 30 years of fostering, preserving, and proselytizing visionary art. Honoring
for their pioneering performance work: Marina Abramovic, Simone Forti, Claes Oldenburg,
Yoko Ono, Yvonne Rainer, Carolee Schneemann, and Judson Memorial Church, cradle
of experiment."
From
the press release: "At the end of World War II, Japan was left in ruins and
a relative cultural void. During the next quarter century, Japan endured the legacy
of the atomic bomb, as well as the experiences of foreign occupation and a rapid
transformation into a metropolitan society. This exhibition highlights a dynamic
phase of avant-garde art in postwar Japan, which was characterized by self-reflection
and multimedia experimentation.
From
the press release: "Participating artists are: Jason Douglas Griffin, Nadiya
Jinnah, Hope Kelley, Heide-Marie Kull, Ayse Kucuk, Apryl Miller, Tom O’Hara,
Yoko Ono, and Marie-Josie Vielot. This exhibition has found its inspiration in
the teachings of Dov Chaim Ben Yosef. Even the lowest of the low amongst us, murderers,
rapists of children, men and women of violence and terror, do what they do in
pursuit of happiness. This pursuit of happiness is what drives us all, honestly
this is why we do anything we ever do."
From
the press release: "An international print-media project conceived to draw
attention to Art Metropole's online presence and services - as well as a vehicle
for the selected artists to express their own ideas. 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."
From
the press release: "Centre of the Creative Universe will include some of
the most prominent artists of the last fifty years such as Keith Arnatt, Bernd
& Hilla Becher, the Boyle Family, Jeremy Deller, Rineke Dijkstra, Adrian Henri,
Candida Höfer, John Latham, Yoko Ono, Martin Parr, Bob and Roberta Smith,
Sam Walsh and Tom Wood."
From
the press release: "There had never been art like the art produced by women
artists in the 1970s--and there has never been a book with the ambition and scope
of this one about that groundbreaking era. WACK! documents and illustrates the
impact of the feminist revolution on art made between 1965 and 1980, featuring
pioneering and influential works by artists who came of age during that period--Chantal
Akerman, Lynda Benglis, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Valie Export, Mary Heilmann, Sanja
IvekoviE Ana Mendieta, Annette Messager, and others--as well as important
works made in those years by artists whose whose careers were already well established,
including Louise Bourgeois, Judy Chicago, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Lucy
Lippard, Alice Neel, and Yoko Ono."
Press
release: "Our next exhibition will be a two part exploration of the Indica
gallery and its activities to coincide with the forty year anniversary of Indica's
opening in London in the mid-60s. John Dunbar's gallery was open for barely two
full years - November '65 - November '67 - but in that short time Indica, (from
'Indications' - somewhere to go), set the controls for the heart of experimental
art in Britain. With groundbreaking shows by Takis, Mark Boyle, Julio Le Parc,
Jesus Rafael Soto and Yoko Ono, Indica was very much 'of the moment'. But what
if you took that moment and transplanted it into the complex pick'n'mix world
of London now? Take one gallery which was representative of sixties free expression
and transport it to another, harsher, more organized, much more cynical art environment
? How does it look? How does it feel? Does Indica still turn you on?
In
November 2006 Riflemaker becomes Indica; lock, stock and barrel. The gunshop will
temporarily disappear while Indica descends Tardis-like, on 79, Beak Street with
Dunbar taking care of the art and his collaborator, International Times founder
and best-selling author Miles looking after all things counter-cultural, forty
years after they disappeared into thin air."
