Joan Jonas | I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances)




[Joan Jonas] Susan Morgan

London, UK: Afterall Books, 2007
112 pp., 8.5 × 6”, softcover
Edition size unknown


"In Joan Jonas’s 1976 video work I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances) the artist investigates a geography of displacement and irrefutable desires. The work veers constantly between two locations, the coastal landscape of rural Nova Scotia and a windowless New York City studio. Describing Jonas’s approach to video as a drawing tool, an endless mirror and a framing device, Susan Morgan takes us through the exterior and interior scenes that comprise this work and considers how Jonas has used performance and video since 1968 to explore ways of seeing, the inherent rhythms of ritual and the archetypal authority of objects and gestures.”
- publisher’s blurb
