Saying Water
Artist Roni Horn performs a 61 minute monologue reading from her writings on water. a monologue that she performed at the exhibition's opening, literary allusions became discursive. Dressed in black jacket and pants, she assumed the mannered cadence of a poet, showing slides and interrogating her work, her viewers, and herself.
