TRANS>area invites you to a new collaboration/performance by Joan Jonas
and Jeff Preiss, Friday, April 26th at 7:00 pm.
While Joan Jonas performs - drawing continuously - in between two walls,
Jeff Preiss interlaces all activities and tenses of time with a
screening of his films and a live broadcast video of Joan Jonas'
performance in another location of the gallery.
Joan Jonas, since the sixties, has been analyzing the interaction of the
performing body with its transformation by media, reception and space.
She is designing complex spaces of reception to test the different
status and the process character of drawings, photography, slide
projections, sound, music, dance and found objects. Joan Jonas is
completing the installations with performances and videos. For the past
seven years Jeff Preiss has carried and used his 16 mm Bolex virtually
every day of his life. The outcome is a project with the flow of a
diarist, edited strictly in the tradition of experimental structural
cinema.
In this new collaboration the delicate oscillations between performance
and document; home movies and art (or cinema verite); and constructed
truths are explored. Performance remainders and films will be on view
Saturday, April 27th during gallery hours, 11am to 6pm.
Montage Verite: Joan Jonas and Jeff Preiss in collaboration; invited by
Karin Schneider
