Roni Horn
March 2017—January 2018
For more than forty years, American artist Roni Horn (b. 1955) has developed a richly 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 featured important examples of the artist’s works in wide variety of media.
