DEEDS CALENDAR: Berlin Art Week 2024: Yoko Ono. FLY – n.b.k. Billboard | until 23.02.2025
n.b.k. shows from 11 September 2024 the Billboard FLY by Yoko Ono.Yoko Ono’s groundbreaking multidisciplinary practice, which includes music, poetry, painting, drawing, performance, film, and installations, challenges and expands existing forms of art and thought. Essential to Ono’s work is a participatory approach, often activated by her conceptual use of scores and instructions, and her strong belief in the power of thought, action, and language to create peace. Her ongoing activism takes experimental and unique forms, for instance: as a film – like her initially censored Film Nr. 4 (Bottoms) (1966–1967), which was a petition for peace initiated and instructed by the artist, or like the bed-ins for peace (nonviolent protests against wars) together with John Lennon (1969). “I like to fight the establishment by using methods that are so far removed from establishment-type thinking that the establishment doesn’t know how to fight back”, Ono commented 1969 in context of her and Lennon’s BED PEACE.
