An extensive, Swiss-bound catalog dedicated to Jonas' under-explored drawing practice

The installation, performance and video works of American artist Joan Jonas (born 1936) are emblematic of the '70s-'80s downtown New York avant-garde. Jonas privileged form over content, generating rigorous pieces with thematic concerns such as time, space and feminine subjectivity. Significant as these works are, other parts of Jonas' diverse and dynamic oeuvre deserve their due attention. This book is the first comprehensive catalog to elucidate an under-examined component of the artist's practice. Fascinated by the tension between motion and transcription, Jonas developed endless drawings composed of lines that weave around themselves or through a grid. She also began to draw natural things--plants, animals, minerals--both from her own environment and from fiction.
