June 2011 - From her pioneering work in the Fluxus movement of the 1960s to the recent IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Iceland, Ono’s art has challenged and informed, melding the personal to the universal in simple and unique ways. Her marriage and creative collaboration with John Lennon was a love story played out on the global stage. Ono’s music laid the groundwork for the sounds of punk rock and new wave. Recently, Ono has had six consecutive dance singles charting at #1 on the top of the Billboard Dance Chart. In 2009, she received Mojo Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and she assembled a new PLASTIC ONO BAND for her latest album, Between My Head And The Sky, co-produced with son Sean Lennon on his Chimera Music label. In 2009, she received the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale and in 2011 she has been awarded the prestigious Hiroshima Art Prize for her peace activism. From gallery to stage to social media platforms, Yoko Ono brings a message of peace to the world. In time for the special yoox.com 11th birthday celebrations, we met with the lovely lady to find out more and get her lowdown on the perfect party style.
