Roni Horn Biography

Roni Horn is one of the most popular and richest Photographer who was born on September 25, 1955 in New York City, United States. Still Water (The River Thames) (1999) is a single piece made up of 15 photographic offset lithographs measuring 30 1/2″ x 41 1/2″. It is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. Horn noted that the commission was made in 1998. Horn also mentioned that the event coincided with the end of a long-lasting love relationship. Each of the 15 lithographs includes a photo of the Thames surface that has been annotated in small white numerals. This corresponds to a line of footnotes running along the lower border of each image.

In 1980, Horn had his first solo show outside of the university at the Kunstraum Munchen. Horn’s career took off in the 1980s with two New York shows at Paula Cooper and Leo Castelli galleries. Horn was awarded the CalArts/Alpert Award for the Arts in 1998, as well as several NEA fellowships and a Guggenheim Fellowship. One-person exhibitions have been held at the Art Institute of Chicago (2004), Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (2003), Dia Center for the Arts, New York (2003), Museu Sangriles, Porto (2001), Whitney Museum of American Art (1995), Kunsthalle Basel (1995), Rencontres d’Arles festival in France (2009), and Tate Modern, London (2009). The Whitney Biennial (1991 and 2004), Documenta (1992), and Venice Biennale (1997) are just a few examples of group exhibitions. She was a Columbia University visiting critic in 2004.

The “Library of Water” is housed in a former library building in Stykkisholmur on the west coast of Iceland. Horn noticed the building in the 1990s. It is located at the high point of the town, overlooking the harbour and the sea. It was conceived by Horn in 2004 as a sculpture installation and a community center.

Reproducing 13 watercolour and graphite drawings, Bluff Life (1990) was produced in 1982 during a two-month stay in a lighthouse off the southern coast of Iceland in a town called Dyrhólaey. The series totals thirteen drawings, all made on note cards. The second book, Folds (1991), is a collection of photographs documenting extant sheepfolds. To Place: Verne’s Journey (1995) is the fifth in the series. A photographic essay, the seventh volume Arctic Circles (1998) records the endless horizon of the North Sea, the feathers of an eider nest, and the rotating beacon of a lighthouse. Doubt Box (Book IX) (2006) is a collection of cards rather than a bound volume. Printed on both sides, the cards show pictures of glacial water, taxidermied birds, and a face.

Yale University awarded Horn an MFA in sculpture. Horn has been traveling to Iceland since 1975, where she has strongly influenced her work by the isolation and landscape.

In 2004, Hauser & Wirth in London was the location of an installation by Horn entitled Agua Viva for the exhibition Rings of Lispector. The installation consisted of interconnecting rubber tiles into which fragments of text from Hélène Cixous’ English translation of Clarice Lispector’s Agua Viva (The Stream of Life) were embedded into the floor in contrasting shades of tan- colored rubber. Horn manipulated passages of the text to shape partial and overlapping rings and loops, playing with the order and coherence of Lispector’s text. The rubber floor’s dimensions at Hauser & Wirth London were approximately 1,500 square feet, with each rubber tile 69 inches square. It contained 25 “rubber floor drawings” with additional plain tiles so that the piece would fit wall to wall.
