Reading Dante III / Headlines & Last Line in the Movies
Joan Jonas - Reading Dante III
Yvon Lambert New York is pleased to present an installation
by acclaimed American artist Joan Jonas. This show will run
concurrently with an exhibition of new work by Mexican
artist Stefan Brüggemann. Both exhibitions open with a
reception for the artists on Saturday, February 27, 2010
from 6-8pm and will be on view until April 10, 2010.
Jonas will also have a show on view at Location One in
Soho opening March 19, 2010 from 6-8pm and on view until
May 8, 2010.
This exhibition marks Jonas's third at Yvon Lambert.
Reading Dante III draws inspiration from Dante's fourteenth-century Divine Comedy, a reoccurring topos of
Jonas's work since 2007. Each performance and installation becomes increasingly layered as the work
transforms and develops. The first installation and performance of Reading Dante was at the 2008 Biennale of
Sydney. Later that year Jonas performed the work at the Yokohama Triennale, and also performed a reading at
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, from which filmed excerpts are now incorporated into the
current Dante video. Jonas was featured in the International Pavilion of the 2009 Venice Biennale where she
installed Reading Dante II. Most recently, the artist presented Reading Dante II at the Performing Garage in
New York as part of Performa '09, and selected elements of this performance are featured in Reading Dante III.
Jonas translates the medieval allegory, borrowing small fragments of the text and greatly reinterpreting the story
through performance, sound, drawings, video and installation. The artist dynamically visualizes the journey of
the characters, merging their experience with her own through footage of travels and performance. The plethora
of elements employed by Jonas, which initially may seem disparate, collectively form a complex,
choreographed, and imaginative vision in the artist's personal aesthetic language.
Joan Jonas (b. New York, 1936) is a seminal figure in American post-war contemporary art. The artist works in
several mediums including: performance, installation, video art, sculpture, filmmaking, photography and
painting. She received her BA from Mount Holyoke College in 1958 and her MFA from Columbia University in
1965. Jonas currently teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In 2009 the artist was
awarded the Guggenheim's first annual Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jonas has had retrospectives at the Queens Museum of Art, New York (2003), Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart Germany
(2000), and at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1994). The artist has been represented in Documenta V, VI,
VII in Kassel, Germany. She was commissioned to develop an installation and a subsequent performance
entitled Lines in the Sand for Documenta XI. It was recreated at the Tate Modern in London, and the Kitchen in
New York in 2004. Jonas has also exhibited in solo shows or performed at institutions such as: Haus der
Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Sigmund Freud Museum, Vienna, Austria; Dia:Beacon, Beacon, New York; Museo
Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain; Le
Plateau and Jeu de Paume/ Hotel de Sully, Paris, France; Renaissance Society, University of Chicago, Chicago,
Illinois.

Stefan Brüggemann - Installation
Yvon Lambert New York is pleased to announce
Headlines & Last Line in the Movies, an installation by
artist Stefan Brüggemann. This show will run
concurrently with the exhibition Reading Dante III by
Joan Jonas. Both exhibitions open with a reception
for the artists on Saturday, February 27, 2010 from
6-8pm and will be on view until April 10, 2010.
Brüggemann explores a variety of mediums including
sculpture, video, painting, and drawing. He frequently
employs text, demonstrating a pop aesthetic while
maintaining a critical attitude towards the sociological
context from which it is derived. For this exhibition,
Brüggemann presents Headlines & Last Line in the
Movies, a site-specific installation that covers the
gallery walls with mirrored panels. On these mirrors,
written with spray paint, are a list of recent newspaper
headlines and a selection from the final dialogue of
dramatic movies. A series of fluorescent light
sculptures mounted upon the ceiling by Brüggemann
illuminates the exhibition.
Myriad contrasts and communalities are revealed within this work. Brüggemann selects text from both
newspapers and the cinema, therefore juxtaposing reality and fiction. Both movies and the news are
important reflections of our culture that not only influence, but also manipulate the public's
comprehension of society. To the artist, the text of Headlines & Last Line in the Movies function as
maxims, seducing our innermost unconscious.
Stefan Brüggemann (b. 1975, Mexico City) currently lives and works between Mexico City and London.
His recent solo exhibitions include: Black Box, curated by Philippe Pirotte and Eva González-Sancho,
Kunsthalle Bern and Frac Bourgogne, Dijon, France, 2008. Recent group exhibitions include: Escultura
Social: New Generation of Art from Mexico City, MCA, Chicago, 2007; Nothing, Schirn Kunsthalle
Frankfurt, 2006; Off-key, curated by Philippe Pirotte, Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland, 2006; and Beck's
Futures Award, ICA, London, 2006. Recent publications include: JRP Ringier publication edited by
Nicolas de Oliveira with essays by Chris Kraus, Michael Bracewell and Caoimhín Mac Giolla Le'ith.
