Roni Horn
Season 9 continues! Russell & Robert meet LEGENDARY artist Roni Horn!!!! We discuss Iceland, cameras, drawing, androgyny, memory, British weather, words, Emily Dickinson, Missy Elliott, John Waters, Maria Bamford and SO much more in this extraordinary and deeply personal episode.
Using drawing, photography, installation, sculpture and literature, Roni Horn\u2019s work consistently questions and generates uncertainty to thwart closure in her work, engaging with many different concerns and materials. Important across her oeuvre is her longstanding interest to the protean nature of identity, meaning, and perception, as well as the notion of doubling; issues which continue to propel Horn\u2019s practice.
Beginning 23 February, \u2018Roni Horn. Recent Work\u2019 will present the artist\u2019s latest achievements in the realm of drawing, a medium she has described as \u2018a kind of breathing activity on a daily level.\u2019 Here, intricate works on paper extend Horn\u2019s masterful use of mirroring and textual play to explore the materiality of color and the sculptural potential of the medium. Her preoccupation with language permeates these works; scattered words read as a stream of consciousness spiraling across the paper. In addition to pieces from her series Wits\u2019 End Mash and Yet, the exhibition will present for the first time LOG (March 22, 2019 \u2013 May 17, 2020), (2019 \u2013 2020), a new large-scale installation comprised of more than 400 individual works on paper, the result of a daily ritual of art making undertaken by Horn for a span of fourteen months.
\u2018Recent Work\u2019 follows the artist\u2019s two-part 2019 drawing survey \u2018Roni Horn: When I Breathe, I Draw\u2019 at the Menil Collection in Houston. Her work has been the subject of numerous major exhibitions including \u2018Roni Horn\u2019 at the Fondation Beyeler, Basel (2016); \u2018Roni Horn a.k.a Roni Horn,\u2019 organized by the Tate Modern, London, which travelled to the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (2009 \u2013 2010). Roni Horn lives and works in New York.
Roni Horn's solo exhibition runs until 10th Apr 2021 in New York, at Hauser & Wirth, 22nd Street. Follow @HauserWirth on Instagram and their official website at: www.hauserwirth.com
