Roni Horn

For more than forty years, American artist Roni Horn (b. 1955) has been creating a diverse practice that spans drawing, sculpture, photography, installation, and books. Exploring wide-ranging topics including human identity, ecology, landscape, weather, and language, Horn’s work intermingles material and context, complicating relationships between object, subject, and viewer in the process.

The exhibition features important examples of the artist’s sculptures, drawings, photographs, books, and installations. A two-volume publication with contributions by Roni Horn, Gary Indiana, and Jerry Gorovoy accompanies the exhibition.
