Yoko Ono began 2010 by participating in “Art Adds,” a project that exhibits her artwork on New York City taxicabs. Replacing advertisements that traditionally decorate the rooftops of taxis, Ono’s peace-promoting works (along with pieces by Alex Katz and Shirin Neshat) move throughout the city as a kind of public art. In Carol Vogel’s New York Times article about the project, Ono likens the experience to a dance, saying, “The message is always in motion.”
Thirty-two contemporary artists from 25 countries address violence against women and girls globally and their basic human rights to a safe and secure life. The beauty of this project is that it combines the highest integrity of art with important social messaging and storytelling to help create awareness, inspiration, and address systems for positive social change and action.
Exhibition curated by Randy Jayne Rosenberg.

There’s a fact about Yoko Ono that has been obscured over the past few decades due largely to her life and work with her late husband. Early in her career, Ono became an acclaimed and influential artist in her own right through her development of fascinating conceptual and performance pieces.
Having established herself [...]
Yoko Ono: In Her Life / Shining On
After 40 years of being unfairly accused of breaking up the Beatles and harshly mocked for her avant garde art and pop music, Yoko Ono is finally being recognised as a true pioneer.

Yoko Ono Anton’s Memory
Film and review from Scribe Media Art Culture
One of the best things about Yoko Ono’s solo exhibition ‘Anton’s Memory’ at Pallazetto Tito in Venice is that the coldness of her minimalist conceptual work is altered by the old traditional Venetian house. Somehow it feels more personal and sentimental.
The second best thing about the [...]

Street Art, Street Life
at Bronx Museum of Art (New York)
September 14, 2008–January 25, 2009
Wandering through “Street Art, Street Life,” I’m reminded of the title of a 1971 film by Shuji Terayama, Throw Away Your Books, Let’s Go into the Streets. That phrase seems to capture the sensibility that curator Lydia Yee has zeroed in on with this [...]

HIGH CONCEPT
by John Robinson, The Guardian, 23 April 2005.
Described by her husband John Lennon as ‘the world’s most famous unknown artist’, Yoko Ono discusses her most creative moments with John Robinson
The 1960s had already been fairly eventful for Yoko Ono. She’d published a book of “instructional poems”, and submerged herself in the New York avant [...]
Since the early 1960s, initially as an important if orbital member of the Fluxus movement, Yoko Ono has been making subtle and challenging works of art across a range of media. After meeting John Lennon in 1966 she was placed in a position of global celebrity that no member of the avant-garde had ever experienced [...]
After a touring retrospective and the reissue of eleven albums, it’s time to take Yoko Ono seriously
While Yoko Ono is still regarded by many as the Beatles’ persona non grata, a quiet re-evaluation of her art and music has been underway for some time. A sort of subcultural logic has dictated that anyone who’s been [...]

produced and where it is experienced. You can emphasize this,
