Published in conjunction with the most comprehensive retrospective in the U.S. of the artist Joan Jonas, spanning more than 50 years of her remarkable career.
Since her earliest performances in the late 1960s, Joan Jonas has concerned herself with animation and moving images, asking what it means to move images, or to be moved by images. The artist returns constantly to her ever-expanding archive of images, sounds, gestures, ideas, and places reworking those materials into new forms across the decades. Published in conjunction with the artist’s most comprehensive retrospective in the United States, this catalogue spans more than fifty years of her remarkable career and features works in all media, including videos, drawings, notebooks, photographs, and major installations and performances.
