Log by Roni Horn

LOG (March 22, 2019 - May 17, 2020) transforms personal experience into an emotionally profound, visual manifestation. This is a beguiling and immersive body of work that invites repeated viewing.

“Entering LOG, you engage the active multiplicity of Roni Horn’s boundless mind in full bloomYou move into gold dust: a multiform epic of play and insight. Tidbits, jottings, doodles. Drawings, photos, writings. Heard, read, seen, sensed. Pondered, annotated, and arranged into a symphonic treasury of pure Roni Horn.”

—Julie Ault, artist, curator, and editor

“As the days progress, entries on travel and photos of celebrities ... fade away, text gets denser and images of natural disasters emerge. So does an appreciation for what the pandemic cannot change: the wildlife that flourishes outside Horn’s upstate studio, or the cheery lights on a majestic skyscraper at night. Together, the images speak to how we acclimatize over time.... But Horn’s LOG is also a record of how we can try to survive in times of change: we watch Audrey Hepburn movies, we photograph the wildlife and sometimes we look up at the buildings and notice how strange it is that the lights are still on.”

—Adriane Quinlan, T: The New York Times Style Magazine

“The third era defined by both paralysis and hope is upon us now. It is the recognition that, facing a grim future, hope itself can be an almost paralyzing, burdensome responsibility — that with Joe Biden’s swearing-in, those Americans hoping for better can no longer simply hope for it but have to work for it, have to overcome paralysis and begin to address the colossal responsibilities now foisted on us. All of this is the locomotive that powers Horn’s unnerving drawing. It is a flag for a new America.” — Jerry Saltz, Vulture

Roni Horn was born in New York in 1955, and lives and works in New York. She received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and an MFA from Yale University. Horn’s drawings concentrate on the materiality of the objects depicted. She also uses words as the basis for drawings and other works. Horn crafts complex relationships between the viewer and her work by installing a single piece on opposing walls, in adjoining rooms, or throughout a series of buildings.
