Yoko Ono ARISING sculpture Black cardboard box Artist's publication Venice 2013. It contains a piece of limestone
Size. 4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm
This multiple was made by Yoko Ono as a gift to the women who participated in her first show "ARISING" in Venice in 2013. Later, some of these boxes were for sale at the web page of LuÏscius Books, that's where I bought it.
This is the context of this publication:
In 2013, women of all ages, from all countries of the world were invited by Yoko Ono to send a testament of harm done to them for being a woman, and to send a photo of their eyes. Models of women were burned on an island in the Venetian lagoon. Together these actions form ARISING, which was presented as part of PERSONAL STRUCTURES, Venice 2013. "Follow your heart. Use your intuition. Make your manifestation. There's no confusion. Have courage. Have rage. We're rising."
