The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, in cooperation with Tate Modern, presents a comprehensive solo exhibition celebrating the groundbreaking and influential work of artist and activist Yoko Ono (b. 1933 in Tokyo). Ono is a trailblazer of early conceptual and participatory art, film and performance, a celebrated musician, and a formidable campaigner for world peace. Spanning seven decades of the artist’s powerful, multidisciplinary practice from the mid-1950s to now, YOKO ONO. MUSIC OF THE MIND traces the development of Ono’s innovative work and its enduring impact on contemporary culture. The exhibition in K20 brings together over 200 works including instruction pieces and scores, installations, films, music and photography, revealing a radical approach to language, art and participation that continues to speak to the present moment. Ono’s practice occupies a pioneering position within Conceptual Art and Fluxus and thus deeply resonates in Düsseldorf – a city with a rich history in both these international art movements.
YOKO ONO. MUSIC OF THE MIND is organised by Tate Modern, London in collaboration with Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf. The exhibition is curated by Patrizia Dander, former Head of Curatorial Department, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, and Juliet Bingham, Curator, International Art, Tate Modern, with Ursula Pokorny and Catherine Frèrejean, Assistant Curators, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen and Andrew de Brún, Assistant Curator, International Art, Tate Modern.
