A Visit to Joan Jonas’s New York Loft

Visit artist Joan Jonas in her Soho loft and enter her world of collected objects. A trailblazer of video and performance art, she began her decades-long career working in New York’s vibrant Downtown art scene of the 1960s and ’70s. Here she reflects on the city’s changing landscape, and takes us through the recurring props (mirrors, masks, and kites) and themes (play, mythology, our relationship to animals) that inspire her radical work.

Joan Jonas: Good Night Good Morning is on view at MoMA March 17–July 6, 2024.
