Quote : ",Her style often included “dematerialization of the art object,” which is a phrase that would only come to use when the art critical l Lucy Lippard employed it to talk about the practice of turning away from objects and towards ideas."

Response : Basically, what Yoko is trying to explain is that she is the kind of person who looks away from the camera. She is focused on the way she expresses herself in the photograph than her physical attributes. 

Quote : ",This groundbreaking artwork is hailed as prophetic of feminist activism and of performance art as a form."

Response : The way that Yoko does her performance art shows that women have power. Women feel unstoppable when it comes to making their own decisions.

Quote : ",Artists need to take in, to process, to decipher, to separate from the noise and create things that are beautiful and impactful to the spirit."

Response : It takes time for the artist to come up with a unique and creative painting. Some where it's peaceful and calm is where the artist get their ideas from.

Quote : ",Those images will be static hand gestures, all generated by a performance-based workshop process with community members that self-identified as vulnerable when contemplating, or in the face of, those four freedoms." 

Response : We as humans have our own self identity it gives our freedom to say or do anything. We have our rights from the ten amendments that gives us backup in case people try to think we are not doing the right thing.

Quote : ", His performances have included cooking traditional Thai dinners in museums for viewers to share, and relocating the entire contents of a gallery’s offices and storage rooms, including the director at his desk, into public areas used to exhibit art. "

Response : It's like If this person loves to include food in the photograph. Also he gets people attention in the museum for the traditional food that he made.

Quote : ", In keeping with past tradition, artists such as Carolee Schneemann, Hannah Wilke and Valie Export displayed their nude bodies for the viewer’s gaze; but, they resisted the idealized notion of women as passive objects of beauty and desire. Through their words and actions, they confronted their audiences and raised issues about the relationship of female experience to cultural beliefs and institutions, physical appearance, and bodily functions including menstruation and childbearing. "

Response : Women are viewed as objects of beauty and desire. Even though the society doesn't understand what women have to through with their physical appearance and bodily functions.
