Joan Jonas
09.09.2022–26.02.2023
Opening 08.09.

Working across performance, video, and installation, Joan Jonas (*1936, New York, USA) has pushed the boundaries of art for the last five decades. Throughout her career, Jonas has constantly experimented, inspiring generations of younger artists.

The artist’s most comprehensive solo exhibition in Germany to date traces her dynamic practice of shifting between genre and time along recurring themes. Ecological issues surrounding climate change and threatened ecosystems, as well as the exploration of collective narratives drawn from mythology and fairy tales set against the backdrop of sociopolitical events are at the core of the survey. The exhibition is accompanied by the performance Mirror Piece I / II (1969/2018) with which Jonas introduced the motif of the mirror to examine societal roles.

The exhibition has been conceived by the artist and Haus der Kunst in collaboration with Tate Modern, London. Curated by Andrea Lissoni, Julienne Lorz, with Elena Setzer.

Performance “Mirror Piece I & II” (1969/2018) by Joan Jonas
6:00 - 6:30pm

Mirror Piece I & II (1969/2018) counts among Jonas’s earliest performances and the original version was influenced by the feminist discourses of the time. Inspired by Broadway choreographies of the 1930s and 1940s, performers formed themselves into frontal arrangements while wearing life-size mirrors. In 2018, the performance was reconstructed for the first time based on photographs and notes and adapted into a new version. The mirrors carried by the 15 performers reflect the space, the bodies of the other performers, as well as those of the spectators. Through the fragmentation of the space and the fragility of the props, Jonas addresses the power structures that underpin the gaze and the way gender constructions are propagated by media images.
