PAUL MORLEY
'Love Magic Power Danger Bliss: YOKO ONO and the Avant-Garde Diaspora'
The story of the twentieth-century avant-garde is a story of resistance, of the outsider, of strangeness, of individual freedom, of rejecting the ordinary and overcoming marginalisation through self-invention. It is also a story that can be told through the prism of one of its most renowned figureheads: Yoko Ono.
