Joan Jonas discusses her decision to begin staging performances in a special new episode from the ART21 "Exclusive" series. "I wanted to develop my own language, and the minute I started performing, I began to invent in a different way-through my body movements," says the artist in the episode. "'How do I use music, sound, and three-dimensional space?'" #JoanJonas #performanceart #art

Public space has been privatized and is policed with video cameras and security guards. In general, there's more paranoia, particularly since 9/11, it's a police state the US. Besides, there are millions more people and less space and cool places have been gentrified and/or destroyed by corporate greed.
