Yoko Ono in The Quietus: “The Tate Modern is honouring the Japanese’s work this month with YOKO ONO: MUSIC OF THE MIND, her largest UK retrospective. With this in mind, now seems like a good time to also take a retrospective look ourselves at some of Yoko’s most inspiring musical moments, which will hopefully present portals for further navigation should you need them.”

Despite the predictably & performatively negative reaction the Japanese artist inspires in some critical quarters, it is clear she has been responsible for a cavalcade of bangers over the decades. With a new retrospective at the Tate Modern, Jeremy Allen explores her back catalogue

"While the dust might seem to have settled on that work after five and a half decades, nothing related to the Beatles or Lennon and Ono ever fully settles, and Two Virgins inspired so much ire and distaste back in the day that we can take this opportunity to see what all the fuss was about."

'Peter Jackson’s recent film about the making of the last Beatles album, “Let It Be” (1970), captured Ono sitting in the studio doing Fluxus-y things: painting at an easel, eating a pastry, paging through a Lennon fan magazine. As Amanda Hess observed in The New York Times, it’s “as if she is staging a marathon performance piece, and in a way, she is.”'

A show at the Japan Society focuses on four innovators who created a blueprint for a new society with postcards, scissors, chess sets and instructions.
