WEather
Roni Horn, a New York artist who mostly works in Iceland, had a 30-year retrospec- tive at the Tate Modern this past winter, including a series of photographs called You Are The Weather, 110 straight-on por- traits of the same woman up to her chin in various Icelandic hot springs, her expres- sion slightly different with each shift in the weather. Horn’s work is austere, minimal, rather like northern weather, extravagant only in its limitations. Weather is never quite the same. Weather is always itself.
