Joan Jonas: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral at the Drawing Center
Joan Jonas: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral is the first major retrospective focused on works on paper by Joan Jonas, one of the most significant experimental voices in American art of the postwar period. Although Jonas’s work has received critical attention and acclaim over the past few decades, her voluminous drawing oeuvre, which constitutes the backbone of her video, performance, and sculpture practices, has never been surveyed. This exhibition is a definitive look at the integral place of drawing in the career of this pioneering artist. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral occupies the entirety of The Drawing Center’s gallery spaces and features more than three hundred individual drawings dating from the 1960s to the present as well as a recent drawing environment.
