To celebrate the new printing of EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE is UNFINISHED, Yoko Ono has partnered with JRP|Editions to create two limited-edition artworks:
Add color where the world needs peace (1960/2017/2024):
Since 1960, Ono has invited participants to add color to canvases and objects. This print combines her “Add Color” initiative with her “Map Piece” works (1962–present), encouraging participants to creatively imagine peace in the world.
i ii iii Stamp & EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE is UNFINISHED (2017/2024):
The limited edition print “i ii iii Stamp” ( 2017/2024), an artwork by Yoko Ono, incorporates Ono’s 2004 work “ONOCHORD”, a universal message of “I LOVE YOU” transmitted by a code of blinking lights: i for I, ii for Love, and iii for You.
The instructional text written on this letterpress print “This stamp can be used anywhere in the world,” echoes the sentiments of Nutopia, a conceptual country created by Yoko Ono and John Lennon in 1973.
In a joint letter, “Declaration of NUTOPIA”, they envisioned a new country with ”…no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people.” The print comes in an envelope with the artist book and has been realized to celebrate the new printing of EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE is UNFINISHED, first published in 2017.
