Summary:

"Joan Jonas: Good Night Good Morning is published in conjunction with the artist's most comprehensive retrospective in the United States, opening March 2024. Since her earliest performances in the late 1960s, Joan Jonas has concerned herself with animation and moving images, asking what it means to move images, or to be moved by images. The artist returns constantly to her ever-expanding archive of images, sounds, gestures, ideas, and places, reworking those materials into new forms across the decades. Joan Jonas: Good Night Good Morning spans more than fifty years of her remarkable career and features works in all media, including videos, drawings, notebooks, photographs, and major installations and performances. The richly illustrated publication features essays by curators and scholars that delve into the political, social, and historical impact of Jonas's working method, a suite of oral histories gathered specifically for this project, a fully illustrated chronology, and a new photographic portfolio by the artist Zoe Leonard"-- Provided by publisher
