His large-scale installations of fabric recreations of former homes, meticulous rubbings of the interior of his apartment in New York, and drawings of moveable and anthropomorphic architectural structures are evocative meditations on the definition of home, its public and personal significance, and how it is affected by displacement and context.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere, Suh mines the history of the Meatpacking District to visually reconnect this space with the former railway that once occupied the neighborhood. \u0026nbsp;Although today the High Line ends at Gansevoort Street, it previously continued downtown, running through various industrial buildings.

class=\"large\"\u003eFor more than thirty years, Roni Horn (b. 1955) has been developing work of concentrated visual power and intellectual rigor, often exploring issues of gender, identity, androgyny, and the complex relationship between object and subject. Because the artist chooses not to privilege any one medium, Horn’s art defies easy categorization. Materials--often used with remarkable virtuosity and sensitivity--take on metaphorical qualities and relate key themes with great visual power. Horn’s interest in doubling and identity, for example, is central to understanding her approach to the genres of portraiture and landscape. Image-specific photographic portraits and ethereally beautiful abstract cast glass sculpture relay aspects of both. Similarly, Horn’s intricately cut and pigmented drawings suggest something of the elemental nature of the earth that relates in turn to how the landscape of Iceland, where Horn has traveled and made work since 1975, has informed her practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the exhibition’s installation at the Whitney, the integration and cross relationships among the mediums in which the artist works will be fluid, and the presentation on two floors will explore structurally the crucial concept of doubling in Horn’s work. Included in the exhibition are approximately seventy works, varying in scale from small drawings to room-sized photographic installations to sculptures weighing several tons. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated two-volume publication: a catalogue with an introduction by the three curators, and an essay by Briony Fer, and a subject index, a second volume in the form of a glossary that is devoted to important ideas in Horn's practice or that relate to individual works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJointly organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art and\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/\"\u003eTate Modern\u003c/a\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRoni Horn aka Roni Horn\u003c/em\u003e is the most comprehensive overview of Roni Horn’s work to date.

Simpson (b. 1983) draws connections between our contemporary lives and the landscapes we inhabit. Simpson surfaces the histories of marginalized peoples, underscoring a collective lack of awareness about our ancestral past and the natural world. For Simpson, the five figures on view here—cast in concrete in colors reminiscent of her work in clay—remind us that “we are not independent, that the inanimate are watching, and that we are responsible not only to the present but to the ancestral spirits that inhabit a particular place.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eSimpson titled both the exhibition and the individual works \u003cem\u003eCounterculture\u003c/em\u003e as a reference to the importance of communities that live separately from dominant cultures but still have significant cultural impact. These watchful figures serve as stand-ins for those that colonization has aimed to silence, including the Lenape and who inhabited much of present-day Manhattan and the surrounding area until they were forcibly displaced by the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Looking out over the city and the Hudson River, notably through hollow eyes, they suggest an awareness of the world beyond our present reality, pointing to landscapes now obscured from this location.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"large\"\u003eThis installation is presented in conjunction with a billboard on Gansevoort Street titled \u003cem\u003eEncounter\u003c/em\u003e.

The 2004 version was shown on both the artport Gate Page and the website of the MECAD Media Center for Art and Design in Barcelona. Kiosks equipped with cameras set up by the artist allowed passersby to take snapshots that were instantly transmitted to a central server. The portraits were then displayed in real time on video walls at Reuters’s Times Square Headquarters, New York; the Museum of the Future at Ars Electronica Center, Linz, Austria; DEAF04 (Dutch Electronic Art Festival 2004), Rotterdam, Netherlands; SENI Fest in Singapore; and MAAP (Multimedia Art Asia Pacific) and Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.
