Each sheet is provided with a speech cloud and shows instructions of the game that may be played. This folder contains 7 different prints colored-in by the artist. Each print comes with 2 extra blank black and white prints, obviously meant for colouring them yourself. This game was designed to be played with other objects or pieces, as stated in Saito’s notes.
Two hundred signed and numbered copies were planned but ONLY circa 20 were made by Takako and sold (hence an early number from the edition). The amount of prints may vary from copy to copy. Fondazio Luigi Bonotto in Colseresa in Italy has a copy (number 5/200) with 8 different prints in its collection.

Originally, the jug was glued to the platform painted with acrylic paint. Since this paint layer hardly has any grip on the surface, here a safer method of display has been chosen.
As a precaution, it is recommended to keep the jug and the metal tray separate. During an exhibition the jug may be secured by means of double-sided tape. As a result, storing this artwork has become a lot easier and safer.
This work is in the collection of MuHKA / Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp – Inv. no. M00351.

mail from E-flux for Black Bonds in Swiss Institute, New York, USA
Black Bonds was an exhibition which reinvented anti-art’s collaborative spirit. ‘Our solution was to save them by blacking them out, canceling the image/object. A positive/negative, deconstruct to reconstruct, chaos to order to chaos… We decided to show these reclaimed paintings and dedicate the show to George Grosz’s Deathdada, caught in the flux between dissonance and consonance.’ Steven Parrino 2001

YOKO ONO, Sognare, 2007
98 x 68 cm
offset, poster
edition unknown
condition good
published by Museo di Santa Caterina, Treviso, Italy
The verb “sognare” is Italian for dreaming and Yoko Ono has often stated that ‘A dream you dream alone is just a dream, but a dream you dream together is reality’. She has consistently expressed her faith in the power of positive wishing. As a Fluixus artist she likes to make instruction pieces like e.g. “Painting to be Constructed in Your Head” (1962). In many cases Yoko Ono affirms the power of the viewer, by inviting him to become a co-creator of the work.
“War Is Over, if you want it” is a 1969 poster and billboard action that inspired enough political action that the president of the United States Lyndon B. Johnson sought to have Yoko Ono and John Lennon deported for fear that they would undermine his foreign policy and political fortunes.
