production: artists’ multiples and the marketplace
By Yoko Ono: Fly multiple issued by Virginia Commonwealth University Anderson Gallery, 1996, and a section on Box of Smile, the Freight Train and the Shit Must Stop with Mend Piece for John.
Star-Ledger: "I think Yoko's piece is just the perfect metaphor for Newark, which really is putting itself back together with these shows," says curator Rupert Ravens, who is organizing "Newark Between Us" for the Newark Arts Council. "It's called her 'Mend Piece,' and it's two white chairs and a white table. On the table there are a couple of shattered teacups, some tape, string, and glue. You can sit down and actually mend the teacups or you can just do it in your mind." (Organizers say they don't know if Ono will attend the show.)"
By Yoko Ono: the exhibition title, Walking On Thin Ice video (1981).
By Yoko Ono: Imagine Piece billboard, Forget it, 1988 (bronze version of 1966 work), Pointedness, 1988 (bronze version of 1964 work), To Be Appreciated Only When It's Broken, 1988 (bronze version of 1967 work).
From the press release: "At what point in the creative process does a work become an artwork? Artists at Work illuminates the nature of art by focusing on the creative process---offering insight into the artist’s eventful path and phases in the production of artworks. The exhibition includes over 180 examples of instruction drawings in a variety of forms, such as working drawings, installation instructions, musical scores, sketches, visual or textual memoranda, fabrication notes, and work records." Includes pieces by Yoko Ono.
And, a postscript: Ono did create a new text piece for the show, "The Bed Biography." What, in the end, Thomas asks, is more important -- the standard stuff of biography that are the grand gestures of public record, or those intimate and humane moments in one's life?"

with an aftertaste AP: "Visionaire and New York-based International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. spent about a year on the project. The resulting 12 collaborations include "Mommy," a condensed milk flavor accompanied by a photo of a woman's breast by Yoko Ono. There also are highly conceptual tastes like "Power," the flavor of sea spray and sweat envisioned by surfer Laird Hamilton and accompanied by a photo of his back. Visitors have reacted with both delight and disgust to the pairings."

Besides featuring art by a few hundred metro Detroit artists, this anniversary showcase includes a white-on-white painting by Yoko Ono entitled "I Love You".
PRNewswire: "This year, the Lyon Biennial is exhibiting works from the seventies (Andy Warhol, Gordon Matta-Clark, Yoko Ono, Terry Riley...) alongside contemporary creations (Kader Attia, Martin Creed, Spencer Tunick...). Thus, the overall impact in both spatially and temporally broad. Indeed, the works on display form a powerful collection of sensory experiences and invite active participation from visitors."
Miami New Times: "The project is based on a corporate model; organizers tapped 40 international curators to select films that showcase the spectrum of contemporary art cinema with a democratic eye on dissemination. Available titles include works by Dara Friedman, Spike Jonze, Yoko Ono, and Rirkrit Tiravanija."
Yoko's Imagine Peace Desk is her contribution to this group exhibition.
According to Taiwan News (September 21st 2004), "To display a broad array of disciplines, the exhibition's two curators - Amy Cheng Huei-hua from Taiwan and Barbara M.R. Vanderlinden from Belgium - have brought together the works of five creative teams and 30 individual artists, including Japanese-American Yoko Ono and Franco-Belgian Agnes Varda."

loosely chronological format, the exhibition explores the various distribution
channels through which multiples have been made available. The curator of Mass

Pioneer
Press (Sept 10 2006): "Artists and designers from around the globe probe
the diverse roles clothing plays in society in the exhibition "Pattern Language:
Clothing as Communicator." With six themes - the Everyman, Multi-Tasking,
Container/Contained, (Un)Clothed, Construction/Creation and Identity - the message
of clothing is explored through various variables, including the material, shape
and lack of clothing. Included in the exhibit is Yoko Ono's "Cut Piece"
(1965), which examines the relationship between clothing and human vulnerability."
Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette (May 25th 2006): ""She's the one person who wanted to show
an older work," says Thomas, who'd planned to exhibit current work by all
exhibitors. But this was Yoko Ono, who can write her own ticket. "It was
an intentional or not hijacking of the show," Thomas says with a smile, "which
is a very Fluxus thing to do." The work she sent is a self-published book,

Press
release: "Deitch Projects cordially invites you to attend The Garden Party,
an exhibition and performance program that creates a contemporary version of the
fête champêtre. Following the art historical theme established by
Giorgione and Edouard Manet of the erotic garden our exhibition project will attempt
to update this theme in a contemporary context."

"Maciunas attracted brilliant and creative collaborators, such as Joseph
Beuys, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik and Dick Higgins, in various collective efforts.
He and his contemporaries worked to explore multimedia, combining it with performance
art, poetry, experimental sound, music, film and video."

Art Magazine (in 2004, about the piece in Finland's Lapland): "Yoko Ono and
architect Arata Isozaki collaborated on Penal colony, a monumental ice room housing
an imprisoning maze of frozen walls. Sited six kilometres north of Rovaniemi,
its isolated location was crucial to the artist's concept. "The work is on
the Arctic Circle and rings the top of the world," says Jon Hendrix, Yoko's
personal curator. With a design brief to build a structure no larger than one
hundred square metres, no higher than nine metres, and consisting of no less than
80% snow or ice, the ice jail was haunting under the psychedelic aurora borealis
(northern lights)."

"The show collects some 100 anti-war works by artists such as Pablo Picasso,
Otto Dix, Paul Klee, George Groz, Jasper Johns and Giacomo Balla. It will also
feature the poster designed in 1969 by John Lennon and Yoko Ono 'War is Over-If
you want it'."
Press
release: "The show features the work of Eleanor Antin; Robert Blanchon; AA
Bronson; Sophie Calle; Teresa Dulce and Marne Lucas of Danzine; Alia Hasan-Khan;
Alfredo Jaar; Mike Kelley; Mary Kelly; Elena Kovylina; Kristina Leko; Joanna Malinowska;
Annette Messager; Christian Philipp Müller and Jane Johnston; Yoko Ono; Adrian
Piper; and Ernest Truely, Danielle Brans, and Sean Smith.Each artist maps care
through a continuum of psychological dynamics, from narcissism to obsession, aggression
to violence, guilt to obligation. The works in At the Mercy of Others: The Politics
of Care question the assumption that caring for another is a natural impulse.
While rejecting the sentimental and sometimes disingenuous uses of the term, the
exhibition argues that care must remain a crucial ethical concept. Ultimately,
the exhibition foregrounds a human subject in need of care-vulnerable, dependent,
and at the mercy of others."

"A global arts initiative is planned to mark the 60th anniversary of the
atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on Aug. 6, 2005, sponsored by the Mayors
for Peace and EPOP International. The initiative kicks off with a benefit art
auction in New York, scheduled for May 3, 2005, at Ruby Falls, a space on West
29th Street in Chelsea. The benefit sale is being conducted by Christie's and
features works by Jerry Kearns, Julian LeVerdiere, Yoko Ono and Tom Otterness.
Proceeds from the sale go to Nihon Hidankyo, an organization of A-bomb survivors
based in Japan. The initiative also includes plans for a "Back to the Garden"
benefit concert at Madison Square Garden on July 25, plus a related traveling
public art exhibition that is planned to open in New York on Aug. 6."
