Left Side Right Side by Joan Jonas

Left Side Right Side considers the genre of portraiture and its articulation in contemporary art. Taking its title from Joan Jonas' early exploration of the self-portrait through video (Left Side Right Side, 1972), it relates directly to one of the MOCA collection's thematic directions which, under the rubric Re-presentation, encompasses works in a variety of media, including video, photography, prints, painting, and sculpture.
