Installation of «Well and Truly » by Roni Horn ...

Two friends together in France

Thanks to the close involvement of Roni Horn, this exhibition provides the opportunity for this power and these affinities to be seen and felt for the first time in France. In the words of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, on the subject of his friend’s art, it gives an unprecedented outline of a “new landscape, a possible horizon”, and “a place of the imagination”, and in those of Roni Horn, “a field of waves” that is continually reworked.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn, both conceptual artists, established radical practices with often minimalistic means that contributed to a redefinition of the exhibition as a medium for including the viewer and had a major influence on an entire generation of younger artists. They strive to grasp the inexpressible, the immeas-urable.

For them, what comprises the “œuvre” is the tension produced with the spectator in an artistic experiment linking the artist, spectator, and the object.

This exhibition emphasises the notions of dou-bling up, duality, complexities within repetition, and identity at work in the artists’ respective artistic practices.

Roni Horn and Claude Monet ...

it is a title in the figurative sense, both artists represent water, RH with glass, CM with oil paint ... but we humans compare everything we see with what we have experienced before, check it immediately for its references, for the meaning for our life ...

I noticed Roni Horn for the first time in the Beyerler Foundation in front of a Monet picture, 3 weeks later I met a ?Glass artwork? again near a Monet and I ran excitedly to the explanatory text to find the name Horn ... and indeed, life is full of "coincidences" ...

pretty much exactly 100 years are between the two works of art. In the last 30 years Monet painted around 250 water lily pictures ... will there ever be 250 glass works of art by Horn ? ...

Ces cinq sculptures cylindriques sont en verre massif – et très fragiles ! Roni Horn les a réalisées avec du sable très fin du nord de la Norvège. Ce sable est si pur et propre, exempt de saleté et de plastique, que le verre peut égaler la transparence de l'eau. Chaque sculpture pèse 4 500 kilos et a été réalisée dans un moule en terre cuite, dont on peut encore voir les empreintes. Le titre de cette œuvre est une citation du roman L'Âge de l'innocence (1920) d'Edith Wharton (1862-1937).

These five cylindrical sculptures are made of solid glass—and very fragile! Roni Horn made them with very fine sand from northern Norway. This sand is so pure and clean, free of dirt and plastic, that the glass can match the transparency of water. Each sculpture weighs 4,500 kilos and was cast in a terracotta mold, the imprints of which can still be seen. The title of this work is a quote from the novel The Age of Innocence (1920) by Edith Wharton (1862-1937).

Exhibition WeerZien / ReView: September 16, 2017 - February 18, 2018

On September 12, 2017, it was exactly 25 years ago that De Pont opened its doors to the public. The museum is celebrating this anniversary with the exhibition "WeerZien" / "ReView" featuring unique works of art that were on loan to De Pont's exhibitions.

Thanks to the legacy of the Tilburg-based lawyer J.H. de Pont (1915-1987), the museum has been financially independent for 25 years. When Hendrik Driessen was appointed director of the newly established foundation in 1989, there was no collection or building. The first acquisitions, on display in the opening exhibition in 1992, immediately revealed the ambitions of the fledgling museum.

Art project in Stykkishólmur, with glass columns of glacial water. A person is visible, refracted thinly through the columns.

RONI HORN. Portrait of an Image (with Isabelle Huppert). 2005
