Her influence is crucial to the development of many contemporary art genres, from performance and video to conceptual art and theater. Throughout her prolific career, Jonas has been engaging in an elusive portrayal of female identity and the intersections of her physical and spiritual body. In 2019, on the occasion of the Walker exhibition \u003cem\u003eThe Body Electric\u003c\/em\u003e, the Walker acquired a major installation titled \u003cem\u003eFunnel\u003c\/em\u003e (1974\/2019). The work was first presented at the Walker as a public program accompanying the exhibition \u003cem\u003eProjected Images\u003c\/em\u003e (1974).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-printed shawl, made in Como, Italy by Ratti S.p.A., is inspired by the artist’s aesthetic research. The central motif is the butterfly, which is an iconic, recurring element in her practice. As a nod to notable late 19th-century art historian and cultural theorist Aby Warburg, Jonas sees butterflies as symbols that fill the modern spiritual vacuum. Each shawl is hand-signed and includes a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46977484226855,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/image_e54456d5-a5cb-4af2-b3ae-cda133f49d95.jpg?v=1699585061","url":"https:\/\/shop.walkerart.org\/products\/joan-jonas-untitled-2015","provider":"Walker Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
