An investigation of conceptual artist Hanne Darbovens artistic practice and her highly personal markmaking as a form of marking time on paperHanne Darboven (19412009) is best known for her immersive installations of individually framed sheets filled with written formulations and collaged images. Approaching Darbovens life and work through the lens of drawing, this succinct survey is organized around three watershed moments in the artists practice. It begins with examples of Darbovens Konstruction drawingsabstract works based in transversal and mirroring strategiesmade during her twoyear stay in New York in the late 1960s. The next section maps how Darboven adapted her drawing practice into formulas that calculate specific dates and durations into a single number, which the artist represented as anything from a series of calligraphic lines to a set of consecutively drawn boxes. The book concludes with a close look at Inventions that Have Changed Our World, an installation from 1996 that documents each day of the twentieth century according to Darbovens formulas and assigns an inventor, ranging from Johannes Gutenberg to the Wright brothers, to represent each of the centurys ten decades. This engaging overview highlights how Darboven's work offers a deeply idiosyncratic accounting of art and life that challenges time as a linear and objective measure.Distributed for the Menil CollectionExhibition Schedule:The Menil Collection, Houston(October 29, 2023February 11, 2024)
