Drawing/Performance/Video
Drawing/Performance/Video, a new exhibition that highlights the role of drawing in the artist's performance and video work. Drawing is an underlying practice and ongoing concern that Jonas has pursued throughout her life. All of Jonas's performance drawings retain a working relationship to her individual video and installation projects. For Jonas, drawings can be lasting and autonomous objects or they may be ephemeral and destroyed during a performance. Jonas considers the act of drawing and the physical objects themselves (media on substrate), in terms of their relation to the camera, the monitor, the space, as well as their status of being descriptive, diagrammatic or iconic.
