Encompassing drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, and artist’s books, her work frequently involves the written word. \u003ci\u003eSeizure of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is the eighth installment in a series of artist’s books by Horn and the fourth to be published by Hauser \u0026amp; Wirth Publishers, following celebrated titles such as \u003ci\u003ebird\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003eaka\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), and \u003ci\u003eWit’s End\u003c\/i\u003e (2021). This meticulously designed, limited-edition publication collects a series of drawings that were inspired by a line from a monologue by the American comedian Maria Bamford: “I am paralyzed with hope.” Horn felt that the statement, which she describes as “at once a silent and insidious undercurrent and an endless scream,” resonated with contemporary anxieties, and she began to write and rewrite it, drawing over the words with a wax crayon that caused their letters to bleed. Making use of numerous gatefolds to reproduce the artist’s expansive, multi-sheet drawings in precise detail, \u003ci\u003eSeizure of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is a spectacular record of Horn’s arresting meditation on language, emotion, and the nature of hope.","brand":"Hauser \u0026 Wirth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56673175404888,"sku":"9783907493335","price":80.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/roni-horn-seizure-of-hope","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
