Event Description:
The Weissman Center for International Business presents the third series of masterclasses in the arts, A Tour of the World in Six Artworks.
This series of 6 masterclasses by art historians will connect world cultures with the fine arts, to see if we can find an alternate way to become globally-accomplished students. For Baruch students who wish to in order to operate at the highest echelons of business and industry, a working knowledge of art history and culture will be indispensable.
Dr. Midori Yamamura, of Kingsborough Community College, will continue our series with a talk on a participatory work by Yoko Ono.
"From Post-Medium to Peace Activism: Yoko Ono’s Painting to Hammer a Nail In"
Painting to Hammer a Nail In (1966) is one of Yoko Ono’s most celebrated pieces, exhibited at Indica Gallery in London in 1966. The participatory art marked her encounter with the British pop culture icon and her future husband, John Lennon. Born in 1933 in Tokyo, Ono matured as an artist when attitudes toward gender were radically changing in the post-World War II world. By 1966, Ono was an essential part of New York’s vanguard scene. The epochal shifts made her question “our [preexisting] consciousness,” and she began creating art that “asks us to reorientate ourselves physically and mentally.” This talk examines the transformations of Ono’s Painting to Hammer a Nail In (1961/66/67) in relation to her gender in Tokyo, New York, and London. It discusses how Ono envisioned forming society using art.
