An investigation of conceptual artist Hanne Darboven’s artistic
practice and her highly personal mark-making as a form of marking
time on paper  Hanne Darboven (1941–2009) is best known
for her immersive installations of individually framed sheets
filled with written formulations and collaged images. Approaching
Darboven’s life and work through the lens of drawing, this
succinct survey is organized around three watershed moments in the
artist’s practice. It begins with examples of Darboven’s
Konstruction drawings—abstract works based in transversal and
mirroring strategies—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
Darboven’s formulas and assigns an inventor, ranging from
Johannes Gutenberg to the Wright brothers, to represent each of the
century’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.
