Roni Horn Published by Hatje Cantz. Edited by Ingvild Goetz, Larissa Michelberger, Rainald Schumacher. Text by Kirsty Bell, Ingvild Goetz, Roni Horn, Christy Lange, James Lingwood, Rainald Schumacher, Aveek Sen. Based on the holdings of the Goetz Collection in Munich, and accompanying a 2013 exhibition there, this volume offers a concise Roni Horn overview. It includes Horn’s best-known series, such as You Are the Weather, To Place, a.k.a., Some Thames and Cloud and Clown. Throughout these sequences, Horn’s abiding motifs recur: water, weather, her adoptive home of Iceland, and more formal qualities such as repetition and permutation. The book shows how Horn’s major works can be experienced in ever-new constellations, arrangements and contrasts within the exhibition context. Also included here is a collection of key writings by Horn--“Making Being Here Enough,” “I Can’t See the Arctic Circle from Here,” “My Oz,” “Island Frieze,“ “When Dickinson Shut Her Eyes” and “Simple and Complete”--plus an interview with the artist conducted by James Lingwood.
