NYAB Event - "Joan Jonas" Artist Talk

This event has ended.
At Location One
Media: Art Talk

Bonnie Marranca and Claire MacDonald speak with Joan Jonas.

Drawing is an underlying practice and ongoing concern that Jonas has pursued throughout her life. All of Jonas’s performance drawings retain a working relationship to her individual video and installation projects. For Jonas, drawings can be lasting and autonomous objects or they may be ephemeral and destroyed during a performance. Jonas considers the act of drawing and the physical objects themselves (media on substrate), in terms of their relation to the camera, the monitor, the space, as well as their status of being descriptive, diagrammatic or iconic.

Drawing/Performance/Video will look at Jonas's drawings within the context of her performance and video work, including the groundbreaking work Double Lunar Dogs, originally performed in 1984, Lines in the Sand, The Shape the Scent the Feel of Things, Organic Honey's Vertical Roll and others.
