Moved to Do the Same, 2019 by Joan Jonas

Joan Jonas Moved to Do the Same, 2019 4" × 6" prints A series of four semi-translucent layers on velum and two opaque black note cards Printed at Ugly Duckling Presse Published by Triple Canopy, with support from Yelena Ambartsumian (Origen), on the occasion of Triple Canopy’s 2019 benefit Since the late 1960s, Joan Jonas’s pioneering work across numerous mediums (video, drawing, performance, sound) and genres (biography, mythology, folklore) has animated countless intellectual and artistic experiments in mediation, improvisation, technology and narrative. Moved to Do the Same—created on the occasion of Triple Canopy’s 2019 benefit, which honored Jonas—is one such iterative experiment. Printed on four semi-translucent vellum sheets and two opaque black note cards, the unbound publication invites readers to encounter the cards as individual slides, pair them or stack them, hold them to the light, pin them up on a wall in different arrangements.
