RESEARCH OUR VISITING ARTIST PAUL RAMIREZ JONAS

For Monday March 15, bring to class for discussion your research on Paul. Look for reviews online. See and read links below.

Paul Ramirez Jonas creates as he speaks. He builds his pieces from found systems and pre-existing texts—everything from diaries to footpaths to sheet music. What others would call re-inventions, he calls re-enactment, following the blueprints laid out in the originals. Considering himself merely a reader, he treats these systems and texts as a score, where the act of “reading” can take the form of a performance, sculpture, photograph, or video.
