In the May issue of frieze, writer Lynne Tillman speaks to artist Joan Jonas as she prepares for her current show at MoMA. Plus, Thomas J. Lax, Rodney McMillian and Zoe Whitley pen a survey on the iconic exhibitions at Studio Museum in Harlem and the projects that shaped them.
Conversation: Lynne Tillman and Joan Jonas
‘I really saw all the forms coming together: writing, drawing, performing, music. For me, it was about different aspects uniting and informing each other in my work.’ The artist speaks to Lynne Tillman about rituals, fairy tales and the interdisciplinarity which underlines her practice.
Survey: Studio Museum
‘The Black radical tradition taught us that the only way out is through.’ As the museum prepares to open its new building on 125th Street, writers and curators reflect on its essential role as a site of connection, exchange and debate for Black artists.
