小野洋子,多數民眾比較熟知的是她與 The Beatles 主唱 John Lennon 的愛情故事,但隱藏在娛樂八卦的背後,我們不能忽略她身為藝術家的強悍力量,以及她曾產出許多「指令藝術」(Instruction Art)形式的創作。
小野洋子的藝術風格:想像力是一切
指令藝術,是一種憑腦袋中的想像力就可以完成作品,不需要太高超的繪畫技巧,重視精神、意念上的傳遞。
小野洋子曾言:「我的作品,就是在腦袋中組合而成的繪畫」,而她的著作《葡萄柚:一本指令和圖畫書》(Grapefruit:A Book of Instructions and Drawings,1964),即是透過簡單文字來詮釋她對生活、藝術、詩歌、電影等觀點。
由於不是藝術相關科系出身,看著小野洋子在書中下的「指令」,我沒辦法說出什麼專業評論。然而,我卻從小野洋子各種充滿詩意的文句裡,看見她對自然萬物的崇敬之情,且非常懂得「活在當下」的樂趣。
小野洋子的指令,多半都比較形而上,但有些依然能夠運用在日常,以下選了幾個我認為可以在生活中嘗試的、比較入世一點的指令。
今年秋天,讓我們跟著小野洋子的腳步,來一場生活大冒險吧!
#1
掛一張畫布在牆上,把當天你廚房中所有的殘渣,用力往畫布上扔,『餵』你的作品一些特殊食材。
#2
提一個空袋子走到山頂,盡量把所有光倒進去。天黑時分回家,把袋子掛在房間中央,代替一個燈泡。
#3
造一張想像的地圖,在地圖上標記你想去的地方,然後依照腦海的地圖在真實的街區行走,假如沒有地圖上顯示應有的路,就移除障礙、造一條路吧!抵達目的地後,送鮮花給遇見的第一位路人。
#4
踏進城裡的每一個水坑。
#5
脫離你自己。看自己走在一條街上。使自己被一塊石子絆倒。看著。看其他人看著。仔細觀察自己是怎麼倒下的。用了多長時間,以什麼節奏倒下。就像看一部慢鏡頭電影。
#6
每天數一遍天上星星的數目。做一張表寄給你的朋友。

50 years ago, John and I had the idea to do the “WAR IS OVER! (If you want it)” campaign. The experience and the memory of war was deeply imbedded in both our minds, and had become the springboard for our efforts to speak out for world peace. We did the “Bed-In for Peace”, unaware of the fact that we made our beds then, for life. Pairs of Acorns were sent to all heads of States of the world, asking them to be planted for Peace. “WAR IS OVER! (If you want it)” billboards were placed in main cities of several countries. We announced the birth of a Nutopian nation: a conceptual country anybody could join and be the ambassador of. Our white flag, and ordinary bed-sheet, symbolized a surrendering to Peace. “Give Peace A Chance” was our chant. “Imagine” was our anthem and a song of prayer. “Imagine all the people living life in peace.” This was a song asking people to imagine, to visualize, and realize our future. It was especially important that it was asking people to use the power of their own minds to make things happen. The days of one hero building a castle for all of us are over. Our world is getting too complex for that. Now we need each of us to be a hero. The human race realized its dreams and innermost desires by wishing together. Sometimes, we got sidetracked and listened to destructive powers within us. When you read the history of the last century, you wonder how we ever survived its violent events. We did. And I am sure we will. They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn. The road to Peace has been longer than John and I hoped it would be, but sitting here today as I write this, I can still see it waiting for us just over the horizon. Waiting for us to realize it’s already there. love, yoko Photo © Frank Barratt/Getty

錄下房間呼吸的聲音:在黎明,在清晨,在午後,在黃昏,黎明前
#8
把你的全部秘密告訴一粒彈珠。
#9
戴一副空白面具。邊走邊請人們在上面添皺紋、酒窩、眼睛、嘴,等等。
#10
推一輛空的嬰兒車,走遍整座城。
