Love magic power danger bliss : Yoko Ono and the avant-garde diaspora
Morley, Paul2025
Books
The story of the twentieth-century avant-garde movement is a story of difference, of the outsider, of strangeness, of individual freedom, of overcoming marginalisation through self-expression. It is also a story that can be told through the prism of one of its most renowned figureheads - Yoko Ono. From her early life in aristocratic Japanese society to a self-imposed exile in New York, Ono's work built upon the histories of Dada, surrealism, Zen Buddhism, and absurdism. Finding herself at the centre of the notorious Fluxus network, she was connected to all its major proponents. Marking the intersection of biography, cultural history and artistic meditation, this book captures the avant-garde movement and the figure at its heart in compelling, vivid detail.
