Gonzalez-Torres의 생전 친구이자, 그가 세상을 떠나기 전 창작 교류를 했던 두 작가 Felix Gonzalez-Torres와 Roni Horn의 작품을 소개하는 전시 카탈로그입니다. 이 전시는 두 작가의 대화에 따라 설치, 사진, 조각 등을 보여줍니다. 작품은 연약한 현존과 환원 불가능한 소멸 사이의 긴장에 사로잡힌 존재의 중간적 성격을 탐구합니다. 두 아티스트뿐만 아니라 Caroline Bourgeois, Elisabeth Lebovici, Elena Filipovic, Julie Ault 도 기여한 작업입니다.
A dialogue between two virtuosos of formal simplicity
In 1990, Felix Gonzalez-Torres visited Roni Horn's solo show at MOCA Los Angeles and saw for the first time her iconic 1982 work Gold Field―a thin piece of gold foil placed on the ground, without any cordon or protection. Deeply affected by the simplicity, strength and beauty of the work, Gonzalez-Torres met Horn in 1991 and told her of the impact the piece had on him. A few days later, Roni Horn sent him a square of gold foil as a mark of their burgeoning friendship. Later, in response, he created “Untitled”, a carpet of candies wrapped in gold cellophane, available for visitors to take. In turn, Horn replied with Gold Mats, Paired – for Ross and Felix, this time with two pieces of gold foil placed atop each other. This volume celebrates their friendship, reproducing installations, photographs and sculptures.
