One of the most continuously influential figures of the past half century, Joan Jonas was among the first artists to embrace the forms of video, performance and installation. From her beginnings as a sculptor, and her emergence in the New York art and performance scenes of the 1960s and 70s (including the seminal "Vertical Roll" video piece of 1972, in which the titular television malfunction enacted a memorably fractured female identity), up through her six appearances at Documenta and her performance at the Performa 13 biennial, her work has always been surprising, groundbreaking and necessary. This extensively illustrated volume, containing hundreds of full-color photographs, drawings, scripts and diagrams, presents the definitive collection of Jonas' work. The first and authoritative career-spanning monograph of the multimedia pioneer, it covers more than 40 years of performances, films, videos, installations, texts and video sculptures. Art writer Joan Simon has painstakingly researched every one of Jonas' works and includes notes on each piece, along with new and never-before-published writings by the artist that provide extensive background. In the Shadow a Shadow also contains essays by Douglas Crimp, Barbara Clausen and Johanna Burton, and unpublished photographs and drawings from Jonas' archives. With a detailed production and exhibition history of the video and performance works, as well as the first comprehensive bibliography and biography of the artist, this intensively researched and authoritative book documents the range, breadth and depth of one of the most prolifically original artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
New York–born and based, Joan Jonas (born 1936) has taught at UCLA School of the Arts, in Stuttgart, Germany and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she is a professor emerita. She has lived and worked in Greece, Morocco, India, Germany, Holland, Iceland, Poland, Japan, Italy, Hungary and Ireland.

The Brazilian artist Leonilson can be counted among the pioneering Latin American artists of his time. His multi-faceted oeuvre ranges from gestural, colorful paintings and drawings to cross-media installations and introspective embroideries. He was mainly recognized for the poetic power of his works, which are characterized by a turn toward subjectivity and an emphasis on emotion and inwardness. After a diagnosis of HIV in 1991, Leonilson’s artistic visual language changed significantly: his confrontation with death shaped the diary-like pieces of his last years, and he reduced the visual motifs of his embroideries to a few abstract forms and text elements. Leonilson left behind around 4,000 works. Drawn 1975–1993 is the first comprehensive European retrospective of Leonilson’s work and assembles more than 250 works produced in this time period.

LEONILSON (1957–1993, Brazil) was interested in art early on. From 1978 to 1981 he studied fine arts in São Paulo, but left the university before graduating in order to dedicate himself entirely to his work. His paintings, drawings, and embroideries have been exhibited worldwide in solo and group shows, and many of them can be found in important institutional and private collections.
