Columbia University School of the Arts is proud to present Joan Jonas: Moving Off the Land II (Excerpts) by illustrious alumna Joan Jonas '65 as a highlight of its yearlong 60th anniversary celebration. The eleven untitled drawings of red fish—each digitally scanned, scaled up, printed, and installed in the lobby of the Lenfest Center for the Arts—are excerpted from Jonas’ titular installation, a multimedia exploration of the science and stories of the world’s oceans.
The stunning drawings that appear as banners in Joan Jonas: Moving Off the Land II (Excerpts) invite viewers to contemplate oceanic environments alongside the educational one that fostered Jonas’ pathbreaking career 60 years ago.
Moving Off the Land II has previously appeared in Venice, Madrid, and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
