Grapefruit by Yoko Ono

My creativity always run wild after I’ve had a look in Yoko Ono and John Lennons book "Grapefruit". Here’s an example of some instant inspo for me:

Painting for the wind

Cut a hole in a bag filled with seeds

of any kind and place the bag where

there is wind.

1961 summer

******************

Waterdrop painting

Let water drop.

Place a stone under it.

The painting ends when a hole is drilled

in the stone with the drops,

You may change the frequency of the water-

drop to your taste.

You may use beer, wine, ink, blood, etc.

instead of water.

You may use typewriter, shoes, dress, etc.

instead of stone.

************************

Painting to be slept on

Hang it after sleeping on it for more

than 100 nights.

1962 summer

***********************

Painting to be worn

Cut out jackets or dress from acquired

paintings, such as Da Vinci, Raphael,

De Kooning. You may wear the painted

side in or out.

You may make underwears with them as well.

********************

Painting to be constructed in your head

Observe three paintings carefully.

Mix them well in your head.

Portait of Mary

Send a canvas to a Mary of any country

and have her paste her photograph.

Have her send the canvas to the next

Mary of any country to do the same.

When the canvas is filled up with

photographs of Marys, it should be

sent back to the original sender.

The name does not have to be Mary.

It, also, can be a fictional name, in

which case the canvas will be sent to

different countries until a person with

such a name will be found. The object to

paste on the canvas does not have to be

a photograph. It can be a numeral figure,

an insect or a finger print.

1962 spring.
