JONES: A FREE AND SHIFTING TONAL CENTER","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI always say [the art is] active even when there's no sound in the room; they are affecting the subtlest of sounds in the space—dampening and absorbing even the human voice.\u003c\/em\u003e — Jennie C. Jones\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Free and Shifting Tonal Center\u003c\/em\u003e is Jennie C. Jones's first monograph, exploring her interdisciplinary practice that moves viewers through both visual and auditory engagement. Aurally altering the spaces in which her paintings, sculptures, and installations are on view, Jones's work encourages viewers to anticipate sound even in the quietest of environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConceptually, Jones's practice reflects on the legacies of modernism and minimalism while underscoring the connection between minimalism and music, illuminating the influence of the Black avant-garde. Bringing this multi-sensory experience to book form, \u003cem\u003eA Free and Shifting Tonal Center\u003c\/em\u003e unites documentation of recent exhibitions—including \u003cem\u003eDynamics\u003c\/em\u003e, her expansive show at the Guggenheim Museum (2022)—with excerpts of text, poetry, and conversations to create a \"score\" that reveals the layers of Jones's artwork. Part artist's book and part primer, this lyrical volume unfolds in movements, like a printed and bound evening of poetry, prose, and music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtwork by Jennie C.
