American artist, Joan Jonas' experimental projects in the late
sixties and early seventies were essential to the development of
contemporary performance, video, and conceptual art. Born in New
York in 1936, she is regarded as a pioneer of video art and
performance. Her work fuses video, dance, theatre, sculpture,
drawing. Her projects have included collaborations with dancers
like Trisha Brown and Yvonne Rainer and composers like Alvin
Lucier. She investigates space, perception and time, ritual
gestures, symbolic objects and stereotypes (especially female
cliches), and the magical role of the narrator who conveys a drama
in each action.
