Joan Jonas Good Night Good Morning Through Jul 6 MoMA

MoMA, Floor 6

“I didn’t see a major difference between a poem, a sculpture, a film, or a dance, Joan Jonas has said. For more than five decades
Jonas’s multidisciplinary work has bridged and redefined boundaries between performance
video
drawing
sculpture
and installation. The most comprehensive retrospective of the artist’s work in the United States
Joan Jonas: Good Night Good Morning traces the full breadth of her career
from works that explore the encounter between performance and technology to recent installations about ecology and the landscape. Jonas began her decades-long career in New York’s vibrant Downtown art scene of the 1960s and ’70s
where she was one of the first artists to work in performance and video. Drawing influence from literature
Noh and Kabuki theater
and art history
her early experimental works probed how a given element—be it distance
mirrors
the camera
or even wind—could transform one’s perception. Joan Jonas: Good Night Good Morning presents drawings
photographs
notebooks
oral histories
film screenings
performances
and a selection of the artist’s installations. Jonas continues to produce her most urgent work through immersive multimedia installations that address climate change and kinship between species. Despite my interest in history, she has said
my work always takes place in the present. Organized by Ana Janevski
