Jonas’ experiments and productions in the late 1960s and early 1970s continue to be crucial to the development of many contemporary art genres\, from performance and video to conceptual art and theatre. Since 1968\, her practice has explored ways of seeing\, the rhythms of rituals\, and the authority of objects and gestures. \n\n\n\nJonas has exhibited and performed extensively around the world. Her notable exhibition history includes Documenta 5\, 6\, 7\, 8\, 11\, and 13; the 28th Sao Paolo Biennial; the 5th Kochi-Muziris Biennale; and the 13th Shanghai Biennale.

The Museum of \n\n\n\nModern Art in New York hosted a retrospective of Jonas’s work in 2024. \n\n\n\nJonas is the recipient of many awards including The Whitechapel Gallery Art Icon (2016); the Maya Deren Award given by the American Film Institute (1989); and the Lifetime Achievement Award given by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (2009). In 2018\, Jonas was awarded the prestigious Kyoto Prize\, given to those individuals who have contributed significantly to the scientific\, cultural and spiritual betterment of mankind\, and in 2024 she was presented with the Nam June Paik Prize\, awarded to artists who have contributed to the development of contemporary art\, mutual understanding\, and world peace. In 2025\, Jonas was selected as a medalist in the inaugural Art Basel Awards and received their distinguished Icon Award.   \n\n\n\nFeatured Image: Moving Off the Land II\, Untitled\, 2019 © Joan Jonas / ARS New York / CARCC Ottawa 2025.
