The book includes a statement from the artist, scene-by-scene descriptions with photos, a conversation between Joan Jonas and Jason Moran (who composed music for the performance) and an essay by Lynne Cooke, a senior curator at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, and former curator at Dia. With a new reflection from the artist looking back on this groundbreaking performance, the anniversary edition is a tangible manifestation of the ongoing significance of Jonas' work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740805046545,"sku":"NGR9780944521960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009480196369,"sku":"NIN9780944521960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140991480081,"sku":"NLS9780944521960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0944521967.jpg?v=1751013240"},{"product_id":"joan-jonas-next-move-in-a-mirror-world-book-joan-jonas-9780944521977","title":"Joan Jonas: Next Move in a Mirror World","description":"A conceptually innovative take on Jonas’ performances and installations  Published in conjunction with the first major US museum show of Joan Jonas’ art in nearly 15 years, this volume breaks new ground by contextualizing and expanding understandings of Jonas’ body of work through three thematic approaches: the critical notions of gender, being and otherness; the politics of landscape and ecology; and new conceptions of medium specificity and un-specificity. These themes serve as a framework through which to address the rich vocabulary of Jonas’ performances, sculptures, drawings and installations from the early 1970s until today. Inspired by the format of a reader, the monograph presents new writing and scholarship, excerpts from Douglas Crimp's final interview, as well as a selection of drawings and sketches from Jonas’ notebooks, including never-before-published drawings created during the coronavirus lockdown. Born and based in New York, Joan Jonas (born 1936) has taught at UCLA School of the Arts, in Stuttgart, Germany, and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she is a professor emerita. She has lived and worked in Greece, Morocco, India, Germany, Holland, Iceland, Poland, Japan, Italy, Hungary and Ireland.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49749752054033,"sku":"NGR9780944521977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009866662161,"sku":"NIN9780944521977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141715030289,"sku":"NLS9780944521977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0944521975.jpg?v=1750947955"},{"product_id":"joan-jonas-book-susan-morgan-9781846380259","title":"Joan Jonas","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn illustrated study of performance and video artist Joan Jonas's 1974 video, an elliptical narrative that moves between the countryside of Nova Scotia and the artists's New York City studio.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoan Jonas approaches video as a drawing tool, a mirror, and a framing device.

From her beginnings as a sculptor, and her emergence in the New York art and performance scenes of the 1960s and 70s (including the seminal \"Vertical Roll\" video piece of 1972, in which the titular television malfunction enacted a memorably fractured female identity), up through her six appearances at Documenta and her performance at the Performa 13 biennial, her work has always been surprising, groundbreaking and necessary. This extensively illustrated volume, containing hundreds of full-color photographs, drawings, scripts and diagrams, presents the definitive collection of Jonas' work. The first and authoritative career-spanning monograph of the multimedia pioneer, it covers more than 40 years of performances, films, videos, installations, texts and video sculptures. Art writer Joan Simon has painstakingly researched every one of Jonas' works and includes notes on each piece, along with new and never-before-published writings by the artist that provide extensive background. In the Shadow a Shadow also contains essays by Douglas Crimp, Barbara Clausen and Johanna Burton, and unpublished photographs and drawings from Jonas' archives. With a detailed production and exhibition history of the video and performance works, as well as the first comprehensive bibliography and biography of the artist, this intensively researched and authoritative book documents the range, breadth and depth of one of the most prolifically original artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.  New York–born and based, Joan Jonas (born 1936) has taught at UCLA School of the Arts, in Stuttgart, Germany and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she is a professor emerita. She has lived and worked in Greece, Morocco, India, Germany, Holland, Iceland, Poland, Japan, Italy, Hungary and Ireland.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51010283569425,"sku":"NIN9780980024289","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52141211091217,"sku":"NLS9780980024289","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0980024285.jpg?v=1751299115"},{"product_id":"joan-jonas-is-on-our-mind-book-joan-jonas-9780982503386","title":"Joan Jonas Is on Our Mind","description":"The CCA Wattis Institute in San Francisco dedicates year long seasons of discussions and public events to a single artist.

Jonas privileged form over content, generating rigorous pieces with thematic concerns such as time, space and feminine subjectivity. Significant as these works are, other parts of Jonas’ diverse and dynamic oeuvre deserve their due attention. This book is the first comprehensive catalog to elucidate an under-examined component of the artist’s practice. Fascinated by the tension between motion and transcription, Jonas developed “endless drawings” composed of lines that weave around themselves or through a grid. She also began to draw natural things—plants, animals, minerals—both from her own environment and from fiction. Published in conjunction with the exhibition at the Drawing Center, this volume examines several decades of Jonas’ drawing practice, presented in chronological order. The drawings are accompanied by extensive images from the artist’s notable performances and exhibitions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53635910271249,"sku":"NLS9798988950004","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798988950004.jpg?v=1780998552"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-joan-jonas.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
