This is what Yoko does best because she keeps her mouth shut.....shes not a singer shes an artist theres a big difference.....sorry to offend you Ono fans buts she is an awful singer and shouldn`t have been allowed on a stage to scream loudly into a microphone.....Yoko doesn`t realise her voice is horrible because she can`t hear what her voice is really like we can though and its not pleasent to the ears, She should stick to this kind of art because she is good at that.
to me what i think she was trying to do was to show people that no matter what others do to us like humiliating us in public and things like that should matter in our mind. dont let the actions of others affect who u are on the inside
►2:17◄..Not very consequent,start hiding all of a sudden.Not that we would've missed very much.Although..she made 'up' for it,with that very special photograph she made with her hubby.
Some people might not get it but, art often is meant as merely an excersize of an (smart) IDEA nothing more. Artists meant to create or highlight those things normal people can not do or see or focus on. Once the art is made it is done. It is the people or spectators who create a magical or pretentious sphere around it and call it art. Blame them for praising a basic idea.
@royalsteven an 'exercise of an idea', that is just a pathetic excuse so that people without talent can call themselves artists, its why hollywood is a talentless mess at the moment. and why our main entertainment are reality tv shows now. there is a problem when you can be famous for an 'idea', while people with real talent are not. it is the product of 'everyone gets a trophy' concept, where "everyone is an artist" and it is a nightmare to people who do have talent.
But normally a good idea takes (creative) thinking, and intelligence. These people we call artists or designers change society/the world with their ideas. Without ideas the world would be boring and standing still. I always learned at art school that a creation begins with an idea or good thought out concept. Art with meaning or thought is often better than art without. Using good ideas merely to make money is also a talent but it is less exciting in artistic value. That's the difference between
@royalsteven you 'learned' at school, I am providing a different viewpoint of Ono and you dismiss it and tell me I have a big mouth Isn't my opinion an idea and expression in its own right? Ono's "art" is long winged speech to convince others that it's worth more than it truly is which is what way too many subpar artists do to make up for lack of actual skill. Most people without talent are pieced together and handed a [meaning] to claim put together by a well paid marketing team. Gaga? please.
Yes, like you said, big market machines are behind the artists. They want their art publiced or made public to a wider audience. It is up to us to decide if what they make is art. We call art what sells. And what if it is not art? So what? Who even is able tod decide what is art and what not? To me art has certain requirements like composition, meaning, good use of color, harmony, contrast, techniques etc. Let those people be famous. Let them have their moment of fame. They fall as quick.
artists and businessmen. Often businessmen assist artists to become famous. And also artists these days are required to be more than artists but also handle their business. Let's face it, (today) the art world is a business. I always know that if you have real talent you will be able to get somewhere. I think it is an excuse to blame others for the reason someone is not famous. Real talent is always more desired than a big mouth. And like I said real talent always sticks out and is recognized.
@royalsteven that's not true, most talent is not famous, instead there are the kim kardashians, 16 & pregnants, kate plus 8, dancing with the has beens, and shitty american idols that are far more famous than some amazing artists such as the band Cults, Maria Taylor's. Yoko Ono is full of long winded explanations for something that really takes no skill or talent to think of or do. And don't try to school me on art & business, I have an honors degree in Music Business and a Merit MA in CCE.
@fluffercoo I guess degrees make an artist a true artist right?, I'm sure DaVinci, Beethoven, and Mozart all had degree........natural and true artistic talents are not taught and not matter how many degrees anyone has if they do not have a natural talent it is destined for to be mediocre.
@MsPhantom951 are you jealous that I have more degrees than you? No, my point was that art school kids generally do not have talent, and just speak like Miss Ono here, trying to convince others that they are artists, when really all they are are people who talk a lot but provide nothing of skill or interest.
@fluffercoo do you even know what talent is? I see so much ignorance on your comments I an't tell. You know when someone believes in another's talent is actually enough? You don't need a big crowd at your back, you just need those who believe in that talent. Is this statement so hard for you to accept? Then you probably don't believe in anything but the food that someone else puts in your plate.
@fluffercoo Wow, you are disgustingly full of yourself. All of your "experience" and "intelligence" certainly hasn't helped make you a decent human being, that's for sure. This is why people like you shouldn't be allowed to earn degrees; they just turn into monsters, waving their credentials around whenever they're threatened by another person's opinion.
yoko was so lucky to have it so easy, now how many more thousands of videos do we have to watch to see something else, where are the rest of um or was this about ego
I'm sorry but I can't believe she got paid to do this. Performance art is shit. It takes no talent to sit up there and have people cut your clothes off. For me, to call oneself an artist, means you have to have some talent than the majority of other people do not have. Otherwise, you're just pretending.
@fluffercoo you should try + get a little more familiar with the fluxus art movement, it might make you change your mind on why this piece was done in general
@aaaaahhhhh13 I had to watch this in my Music History, Gender & Music/Art course, and I still find it to be untalented pretentious garbage by someone who couldn't actually create real art.
@fluffercoo this piece has been very influential for marina abramovic. And art isn't always about impressive and colorful things. In 1965 it has the beginning of performance art by fluxus, this is a pioneer work, influenced by john cage.
@concalo performance art is shit. its not art to sit around having someone cut your clothes off. that is not pioneer work, ask the bums who sit around on the street corner and have prob had their clothes ripped off or attacked before yoko ono was born, if that was fucking art. this is just pretentious, and adored by other pretentious people like yourself.
@fluffercoo ok, i see you are just another arrogant american girl unable to discuss with serious arguments...tu ne vois pas plus loin que le bout de ton nez.
@fluffercoo the problem is not with the artist really. it is with the person which is appreciating the artistic piece. according to the information present on your page I recommend you not to bother with this piece of art, missy plastic nose.
@utubeleplague sorry I enjoy really talent, real musicans who actually need skill and intelligence and talent that others do not have to perform. anyone can sit around and have their clothes cut off. If anyone can do it, it is not art. And your last line has nothing to do with my assessment of her piece, considering I am pretty involved in the arts and entertainment world, I know talent, and this is just overrated crap that would never have been seen ha lenon not fucked her.
@fluffercoo I could say why this is so special and why so many of her work is magical but I would be wasting time because you won't change your closed mind, at least about not so well known art. It goes beyond money and appearance. It's about the human itself. You should try traveling to zones your not familiar with and experience raw life so you can start appreciating the most simple things in life that the harder to get nowadays.
@utubeleplague or maybe you're just an obsessed fan who is closed minded to concept that other people can have a differing opinion to yours. Don't tell me about money and appearance, I have worked at several independent music companies. I have traveled to many countries and have experienced life outside of a classroom on what is 'art'. I make my own decision on what constitutes art, for me, that means creating something that no one else could.
Performance art can be dangerous. Someone could have cut her flesh with that scissors. I would have cut a piece of cloth from the breast area. Still, this is an original idea but I never really understand the deeper meaning behind performance art. Art has to mean something doesn't it?
Art is the reason society and the world is more colorfull, exciting and meaningfull. Without art the world would be so boring. It gives us pleasure, relaxation and joy. I wouldn't call that useless?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
@royalsteven The point he was trying to make is that art, on its own, has no value. Art has value because we give it value, and we give it value because of what it does to us. Art is a reflection of the artist, which is why the artist creates the art, but we like looking at it because what we see in it is something that reflects ourselves in some way.
Oh ok, art might have no value but it has a reason. Personally I creatively express myself and like art because it gives me happiness and like others to be happy also. So in that sense art is (egoistical) satisfaction.
Oh, she just wanted to feed into some kind of sexual urges that the audience might have. C'mon! Is this really something that requires a lot of talent. I mean, I'm not hating or anything, I'm just trying to be realistic. It IS unique in it's approach but only because it's a prude form of teasing. Seriously. What other potential fascination might other participants have? Curiosity about costume design? That's normally part of the theatrical preparation, not performance. This is silly.
I completely misinterpreted this. I saw a short clip of this performance when I was in elementary school and I thought she was letting people come up and do *whatever* they wanted to. I vividly remember seeing someone take scissors and cut the fabric of her dress and her bra. I also thought there were people who went up and tried to put her dress back together for her. I thought it was a display of real-life sadism and altruism in the face of vulnerability. That memory stayed with me for years.
i personally dont like yoko ono. really, at all but everyone says her artwork is so awesome and should have an affect on my opinion on her, but it doesnt. i could care less on who made the artwork, yes it is interesting and different, she seems to be saying art doesnt have to be amazing and deep and cliche, but something simple and well thought out. but what im saying is i dont like her, still, even though people say her art work is so great and i should like her becaus of that. but i still dont
John said Yoko was a great artist before he met her and didn't need him or his fame. Then how come he didn't even know who she was when he met her at one of her art shows? He was an artist who went to art school and he didn't even know who the hell she was the first time he saw her. Shouldn't he have known of the "world famous" Yoko already? Her art was letting people tear her clothes off, pounding a nail into a board, climbing a ladder and looking into a hole that said YES. Look out DiVinci!
Just because she was technically a generally unheard of artist before John came along, doesn't make her any less great than she is. You don't have to be "world famous" to be a good artist, and I think any real fan of John Lennon should know that by now.
@RylosCentauri - Your last sentence proves my point for everyone who can't stand Yoko. This idea that if we are fans of John, we have to accept Yoko because he loved her is ridiculous. As an "artist" Yoko would have faded into the sunset 40 years ago if she hadn't met John. I stand by my original comment that the woman is an untalented nutcase who has made a career out of being the widow of John Lennon.
What I'm saying is that John advocated the arts and the art of the people--you don't HAVE to be famous to be a good artist, and she wasn't famous before John, and she did some pretty cool stuff, imo. I think she's amazing. I didn't say you had to accept her, but have some understanding. They probably would have loved each other no less if he wasn't famous. Anyway, that is just my opinion. I think Yoko is an outstanding person.
But why Ringo and George continue working in Lennon's solo albums (and even and some of Yoko's) and on tours with him and her? Did they hated Yoko? It doesn't seems like that. I think there's some Beatle missing in that picture... but it's easy to blame an artist, japanese, intelligent, and above all, a woman. John loved this woman, and he (unlike many of you out there) was A BEATLE.
'Cut Piece' is one of my favourites from Yoko - it says so much. She was so brave to do it. I love the fact that she always tries to include the audience in her work. A very generous Artist who always wishes to 'share'.
can you explain to me exactly why the stars are beautiful? why a sunrise is magical? I could never do justice to explain these things but it doesn't diminish their worth.
@HCmon How can you make an assumption like that based on one sentance. My comment is obviously a reflection about how art is undefinable. If you don't understand something (i.e. if it makes you think) then it can be more meaningful then something blantantly obvious. Are you claiming that you somehow have insight to Yoko Ono's underliying personal intentions and aspirations for this piece? I think no one but her really knows that. We can speculate. and btw Starry Night hangs in my living room mf
@jessanima my apologize I didn't mean to be rude. To me it seems obvious that this is a very simple piece yet with intense meaning. From cutting clothes until someone is naked you can subtract that she (a she may be your partner in real life i.e.) wants to share privacy with you and the more you cut the more close you are with the person. I believe Yoko had something complex going on her mind although she wanted her ideals to reach with simplicity… and btw I have grapefruit on my bedside table
I decry the absence of scissors for left-handed people in this performance art. You'll note that every "cutter" is right-handed, and that right-handed scissors must have been used.
A stellar brave performance.

'Cut Piece' is one of my favourites from Yoko - it says so much. She was so brave to do it. I love the fact that she always tries to include the audience in her work. A very generous Artist who always wishes to 'share'.
Thanks for Posting!

can you explain to me exactly why the stars are beautiful? why a sunrise is magical? I could never do justice to explain these things but it doesn't diminish their worth.

Maybe for an encore she'll eat her own shit. I'm sure her fans would find that quite profound.

@jessanima impressive how you don't understand this simple piece. A drawing of Picasso must be a blur to you then

@HCmon How can you make an assumption like that based on one sentance. My comment is obviously a reflection about how art is undefinable. If you don't understand something (i.e. if it makes you think) then it can be more meaningful then something blantantly obvious. Are you claiming that you somehow have insight to Yoko Ono's underliying personal intentions and aspirations for this piece? I think no one but her really knows that. We can speculate. and btw Starry Night hangs in my living room mf

@jessanima my apologize I didn't mean to be rude. To me it seems obvious that this is a very simple piece yet with intense meaning. From cutting clothes until someone is naked you can subtract that she (a she may be your partner in real life i.e.) wants to share privacy with you and the more you cut the more close you are with the person. I believe Yoko had something complex going on her mind although she wanted her ideals to reach with simplicity… and btw I have grapefruit on my bedside table

I decry the absence of scissors for left-handed people in this performance art. You'll note that every "cutter" is right-handed, and that right-handed scissors must have been used.

Left handeds are people? Since when?

@tigerseatflesh The left-handed would have been too creative to have been at this event.

She probably never did this again after she met John Lennon cause the scissor wielder would think of piercing her body!

She said cut the dress, not cut the bra idiot. I love when she rolls her eyes and covers her breasts at the end.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
It would have been tough to fight the urge to stab her in the head with the scissors.
