April 1974
This week, Artforum revisits philosopher Noël Carroll’s essay on an untitled video/performance piece by Joan Jonas, published in the magazine’s April 1974 issue. “Her video imagery is predominantly representational, but her treatment of it bypasses a concern with the referential or representational significance of the imagery in favor of a preoccupation with the representational power or scope of that imagery,” he observed. “That is, Jonas seems less concerned with what the imagery represents and more involved with how much it represents.”
In the May issue, Barry Schwabsky reflects on Jonas’s art, currently on view in two revelatory exhibitions in New York—“Good Night Good Morning” at the Museum of Modern Art, and “Animal, Vegetable, Mineral” at the Drawing Center. —The editors
