Abstract

Joan Jonas approaches video as a drawing tool, a mirror, and a framing device. Since 1968, she has used video and performance to explore ways of seeing, the rhythms of ritual, and the archetypal authority of objects and gestures. With her influential 1976 work, I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances) Jonas nimbly structures an elliptical narrative that unmistakably establishes her voice and visual lexicon. I Want to Live in the Country features two locations--the untamed landscape of Nova Scotia and a television studio in New York City--as it examines themes of loss, displacement, time, and memory through still life compositions and Super-8 footage. Jonas creates a meditation of frames within frames, monitors within monitors, overlaid with poetic musings--a murmured story of the unconscious. Jonas's influences have included the writing of Samuel Beckett, the films of Yasujiro Ozu, Japanese Noh theater, and the work of John Cage. Stripped down to intimate, indelible gestures, I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances) explores a Beckettian dilemma: "I am both the observer and the object that I observe. Which of the two is the real 'I'?" In this richly illustrated Afterall book, Susan Morgan examines the emergence of Jonas's original work from this synthesis of influences and ideas.

Abstract

This volume closely follows the development of Joan Jonas’ (born 1936) multiformat project Moving off the Land. The artist’s most recent body of work, it encompasses three years of research into the significance of the ocean throughout history, and features sculptures, drawings, sound and new video productions. Jonas combines poetry and prose by writers such as Emily Dickinson and Herman Melville with texts by Rachel Carson and Sy Montgomery, and with moving images filmed in aquariums and in Jamaica, where algae bloom and over-fishing pose urgent threats to the ecosystem. The monograph includes the complete script for the performance along with annotations, images of Jonas’ live performance, and a complete chronology with documentation of the performance’s history.

Abstract

Toute oeuvre d'art est la trace d'une action mais pour certains artistes l'action elle-même fait autant partie de l'œuvre que l'objet achevé, elle est au cœur de leur propos. Ce livre se présente sous la forme originale d'une exposition dans laquelle, salle après salle, le visiteur-lecteur découvre des œuvres qui toutes proposent une forme d'action. Certains artistes utilisent des personnes comme les objets mouvants, vivants de leurs œuvres tandis que d'autres donnent au public le premier rôle de leur création. Certains opèrent une métamorphose en se déguisant ou en modifiant leur environnement afin de mettre en scène une nouvelle réalité sociale, tandis que d'autres transforment des objets du quotidien en œuvres d'art en changeant leur fonction ou leur contexte. Tandis que certains posent la question de la permanence de l'art en produisant des œuvres éphémères, d'autres s'attachent aux traces que peuvent laisser leurs actions ou encore cherchent à arrêter le temps dans des compositions hautement théâtrales ou des sculptures hyperréalistes. Pour certains, enfin, explorer la notion d'action est l'occasion de quitter le cadre de la galerie et de « jouer l'art en public », dans la rue, pour tous. Par leur art, les artistes de cet ouvrage cherchent à comprendre la nature complexe de nos interactions sociales, de ces rôles que nous jouons consciemment ou non dans un monde qui s'apparente à un théâtre dont nous sommes tous les acteurs.

Abstract

"Akademie X is an art school without walls. Unrestricted by geography and open to all, it brings together the finest faculty of arts educators from across the globe ... Its tutors have the freedom to instruct and guide according to their individual style, revealing wisdom drawn from their own experiences or setting structured assignments and tasks. They inspire creativity by presenting examples of their work, while their resources lists offer stimulating guidance for self-directed study. Akademie X's educational philosophy is that, above all, students need preparation for professional life--in practical, financial and ideological terms. Here, they can become fully prepared for the real business of being an artist in the fast-changing environment of the contemporary art world"--Pages 2-3.
