Joan Jonas - BMW Tate Live: Performance Room

Joan Jonas’s performance of Draw Without Looking, captured live Thursday, 28 February, 2013 at Tate Modern. Jonas is one of the most significant artists in the history of video and performance art and Draw Without Looking is a new work created especially for the Performance Room.
Joan Jonas uses her own teaching notes as source material to create a set of instructions in the form of poem. These instructions ‘draw for an audience’, ‘fold paper’, ‘make a mask’ and others - are performed spontaneously by the artist in the Performance Room.
Performance Room is a series of performances commissioned and conceived exclusively for the online space. Performances are streamed live from the Performance Room at Tate Modern and then made available to watch online after the event.

분위기랑 너무 좋다...설치보고 반했음.. 근데 퍼포먼스 할때 좀 어눌하고 급해보이는데 나는 느낌이 좀 그닥ㅠㅠ 퍼포먼스를 즐기는 게 아니라 뭔가에 쫓기는 듯한 급한 동작들 근데 공연예술쪽- 퍼포머들은 다 공연하는 순간에는 저런게 조금씩은 있겠구나 싶고.. 무용수 연주자들. 암튼 할머니 화이팅

Not my kind of thing...it tells me nothing..does not inspire.

she's not trying to tell you something. she's not a political cartoonist. for some of us, though, she points to something magical and strange hiding beneath the day to day

[@nikolausgerszewski2086]

no need for sharing that.

@@nikolausgerszewski2086 I need NO man to tell what to do. Go sort out your own shortcomings. Thanks.

[@nikolausgerszewski2086]

@@xyzllii again, very inspiring comment, indeed.

she needs to pay attention to her answers and not to the electronic! No respect

[@nikolausgerszewski2086]

no! it's you who needs to pay attention, instead of evaluating things that you have no idea of. no respect!
