Overview

"Joan Jonas is firmly placed historically as one of the first and most important pioneers of performance and video art. Since her early works in the late 1960s she has continued to develop her own complex and intriguing visual vocabulary. Over recent years she has not only created intricate and compelling performance works, but has also found a way to translate those performances into video installations which have become works in their own right." "The John Hansard Gallery and the Wilkinson Gallery are delighted to present Jonas's installations for the first time in the UK. It is our aim to reveal not only the importance of early works such as Glass Puzzle, 1974, but also the relevance of recent works such as Lines in the Sand, 2002, to contemporary art practice of today. Jonas is a precursor to much that has occurred in the field of performance and video art and she continues to make powerful new works responding to that rich history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
