DEEDS CALENDAR: YOKO ONO. MUSIC OF THE MIND | K20 | until 16.03.2025
In collaboration with the Tate Modern, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is presenting the innovative and influential work of artist and activist Yoko Ono (*1933, Tokyo) in a comprehensive solo exhibition on Friday, 27 September 2024. Ono is a pioneer of conceptual and participatory art, film and performance, a celebrated musician and an outstanding activist for world peace. YOKO ONO. MUSIC OF THE MIND traces seven decades of the artist’s powerful multidisciplinary practice, from the mid-1950s to the present day, tracing the development of her innovative work and its lasting influence on contemporary culture. The exhibition at K20 presents more than 200 works, including instructions and scores, installations, films, music and photographs, highlighting Ono’s radical approach to language, art and participation that continues to resonate today. Ono’s practice occupies a pioneering position within conceptual art and Fluxus and therefore resonates particularly well in Düsseldorf – a city with a rich history of these two international art movements.
