Summary:
"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. The exhibition will feature 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 will accompany the exhibition." Glenstone Museum A leading figure in contemporary art, Roni Horn addresses wide- ranging issues such as nature, ecology, identity, landscape, and language. Her sculptures, drawings, photographs, and installations intermingle material and context, aiming to complicate the relationships among object, subject, and viewer. This two-volume catalogue features works such as 'Ant Farm', a living colony of ants sealed between two panes of glass; 'Pink Tons', a four-ton cube of casted pink glass; and 'Gold Field', a sheet of pure, annealed gold that measures a fraction of a millimeter thick. Also included are an engaging essay by artist Gary Indiana; a photo-essay by Jerry Gorovoy, Director of the Easton Foundation; and a personal statement by the artist.
