Yoko Ono

Japanese: 小野洋子 - おのようこ
Yoko Ono

...Performance groups and locations were fluid, and in 1961 George Maciunas came up with the idea of ​​Fluxus, a magazine for performance art (the magazine never came to fruition), which eventually became the name of an international organization that linked performers across the board. The word Fluxus, a play on the Latin word fluxus meaning "flow" and the English word flux us (to fuse us together), was appropriate for the fluid relationships among performers at the time. The same can be said for the activities of artists exhibiting at the Yomiuri Independent Exhibition (Japan Independent Exhibition), which was lively due to the stimulation of the New York art world, and for the various art groups that gradually began to form in Japan through the intermediation of Ichiyanagi Toshi and Ono Yoko, who studied under Cage. Group Ongaku (Kosugi Takehisa, Tone Yasunao, Shiomi Chieko, and others), Neo Dadaism Organizers (Shinohara Ushio, Yoshimura Masunobu, Kazakura Shosaku, and others), and Hi Red Center (Akasegawa Genpei, Nakanishi Natsuyuki, Takamatsu Jiro, and others), which was formed by members of the train performance Yamanote Line Incident in October 1962 and the street performance First Mixer Project in May 1963, all founded in 1960, not only had mutual relationships with each other, but also with Hijikata Tatsumi of Butoh, the experimental film group Van Film Science Institute (Adachi Masao, and others), and with the overseas Fluxus movement in a cross-sectional manner.

From Lennon

…While he was a central member of The Beatles, he was also blessed with artistic talent, and left behind two illustrated short story collections that are masterpieces of nonsense literature (In His Own Write, 1964, and A Spaniard in the Works, 1965). He remarried Yoko Ono, whom he met in 1966, in 1969, and in the same year held a seven-day "Bed-In" as a peace movement in a hotel in Amsterdam, which attracted much attention and made him a hero of subculture in the second half of the 20th century, but he was shot and killed in New York in 1980.

Japanese:

…パフォーマンスを行うグループや場所は流動的であり,61年にジョージ・マチューナスGeorge Maciunasがパフォーマンスの専門誌を作るために考え出した〈フルクサスFluxus〉(雑誌は実現しなかった)は,やがて当時のパフォーマーを横断的に結びつける国際的な組織の名になったが,ラテン語で〈流れ〉を意味するfluxusと英語のflux us(われわれを融合する)とをかけたこの語は,当時のパフォーマーの流動的な関係にふさわしいものであった。このことは,ニューヨーク美術界の刺激を受けて活気づいていた〈読売アンデパンダン展〉(日本アンデパンダン展)出品作家たちの活動と,ケージに学んだ一柳慧(いちやなぎとし)や小野洋子らの媒介でしだいに日本にも形成されはじめたさまざまな芸術グループにもあてはまる。ともに1960年創立の〈グループ音楽〉(小杉武久,刀根康尚,塩見千枝子ほか),〈ネオ・ダダイズム・オルガナイザーズ〉(篠原有司男(うしお),吉村益信,風倉省作ほか),62年10月の車中パフォーマンス《山手線事件》や63年5月の街頭パフォーマンス《第一次ミキサー計画》のメンバーによる〈ハイレッド・センター〉(赤瀬川原平,中西夏之,高松次郎ほか)などは,互いに相互関係をもっただけではなく,〈暗黒舞踏〉の土方巽(ひじかたたつみ)や実験映画グループ〈ヴァン映画科学研究所〉(足立正生ほか)などとも,また海外の〈フルクサス〉とも横断的な関係をもった。…

…ビートルズの中心的メンバーとして活躍する一方,画才にも恵まれ,ノンセンス文学の佳品たる挿絵入り短編集2冊(《In His Own Write》1964,《A Spaniard in the Works》1965)を残している。1966年に知り合った小野洋子と69年に再婚,同年アムステルダムのホテルで平和運動として7日間の〈ベッドイン〉を行うなど,多くの話題をまき,20世紀後半のサブカルチャーの英雄の観があったが,80年ニューヨークで凶弾にたおれた。【高橋 康也】。…
