Joan Jonas: They Come to Us Without a Word

0/5 ( ratings)

They Come to Us without a Word documents Joan Jonas' project for the US Pavilion of the 56th Venice Biennale, an installation that incorporates multiple components, including projected videos , drawings and photographs. Each section of the pavilion represents a particular creature or natural condition. Recited fragments of ghost stories sourced from the oral tradition of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, form a continuous narrative linking one room to the next. Designed with Jonas' close collaboration, this book features an extensive collection of images selected by the artist, including stills, drawings and photographs. Also included is a major new text by Jonas herself, as well as significant texts from Ann Reynolds and Marina Warner, and an interview with the artist by Ingrid Schaffner.
