| book description |

An investigation of conceptual artist Hanne Darbovenâ€™s artistic practice and her highly personal mark-making as a form of marking time on paper Â Hanne Darboven (1941â€“2009) is best known for her immersive installations of individually framed sheets filled with written formulations and collaged images. Approaching Darbovenâ€™s life and work through the lens of drawing, this succinct survey is organized around three watershed moments in the artistâ€™s practice. It begins with examples of Darbovenâ€™s Konstruction drawingsâ€”abstract works based in transversal and mirroring strategiesâ€”made during her two-year 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 Darbovenâ€™s formulas and assigns an inventor, ranging from Johannes Gutenberg to the Wright brothers, to represent each of the centuryâ€™s 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.
