{"title":"Roni Horn","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoni Horn (born 1955, New York) is an American artist whose practice spans sculpture, drawing, photography and artist books, and whose work is grounded in questions of identity, place, language and the instability of fixed meaning. Working across media without privileging any single form, Horn has developed a body of work in which repetition, doubling and subtle difference operate as structural and conceptual principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer sculptural works — solid cast glass forms, paired metal objects, text-based floor pieces — resist singular reading. Her photographic series, including extended studies of the Thames and of Icelandic water, treat surface and reflection as sites of perceptual uncertainty. Her artist books, produced in close collaboration with publishers including Steidl and Goetz, are understood as works in their own right rather than documentation of other practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIceland has been a sustained point of return throughout Horn’s career, informing both the material and conceptual character of her work. Her ongoing project \u003cem\u003eTo Place\u003c\/em\u003e, a series of artist books begun in 1990, uses Iceland as a framework for thinking about geography, identity and belonging without resolving those questions into stable positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorn has exhibited internationally at major institutions including Tate Modern, London, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Fondation Beyeler, Basel. She represented the United States at the Venice Biennale in 2009. Exhibition invitations, catalogues and printed matter produced in connection with her practice document one of the most rigorously sustained careers in contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"roni-horn-dessins-drawings-disegni-bevilacqua-la-masa-venice-2004","title":"RONI HORN — Dessins \/ Drawings \/ Disegni.
