I really enjoyed finding out about Joan Jonas, and I agree that is hard to pin down a direction of her work, it seems to start in one place and explode out in different trajectories and I loved that! Reflecting on the ‘brand ness’ and instant recognition of Yayoi Kasama’s work it highlights how opposites share space in the art world.
I wondered with Jean Jonas though if that repetitive nature or the sketching was leaning towards the quiet and contemplative rehearsal associated with performance, and I think that’s a classic example of how introversion and extroversion can work hand in hand sometimes.
I'm not an artist, but I love idea of having a quiet studio space to potter around in, to make things and explore stuff. A place where everything else is on the outside.
Absolutely bloody loved this video! The bit when her dog is sitting there posing for Joan whilst she is drawing her. I don't know much about Joan Jonas either, but I'm inspired to find out more now. Love her quick drawing experiments.
