Rebecca Horn's Violent Mechanisms at Guggenheim

Rebecca Horn, a multidisciplinary artist working since the early 1970s across performance, sculpture, and film, is known for installations such as The Feathered Prison Fan, Overflowing Blood Machine, and Le Piano Mécanique, les Pyramides et les Jumelles, which feature often violent, dramatized, and suggestive mechanisms. In anticipation of her upcoming exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in June 1993, Régis Durand interviews her about the genesis of her works, her writings, early career performances, early 'corporeal' sculptures, and her exploration of private and public space, the body, and relationships between objects and the senses.
