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.   Distributed for the Menil Collection   Exhibition Schedule:   The Menil Collection, Houston (October 29, 2023–February 11, 2024)  

This highly anticipated catalogue, accompanying Gerhard Richter’s first exhibition with David Zwirner, presents Richter’s last paintings along with his recent explorations in drawing, printing, and sculpture. ---------- “[His last paintings] can feel almost like exquisite texts to be read. . . . Their freshness and spontaneity feels like a new beginning.� — Roberta Smith, The New York Times ----------- Known for his abstract and realist paintings, Gerhard Richter has pursued a diverse and influential practice characterized by a decades-long commitment to the medium and its formal and conceptual possibilities. This remarkable book celebrates the breadth of Richter’s newest bodies of work and archives a historical moment in the artist’s career. Full-color plates and installation views showcase a selection of the artist’s final works on canvas—made just before he announced his retirement from oil painting in 2017—alongside an expansive suite of new drawings made with ink, graphite, and colored pencil on paper, a remarkable series of chromatic inkjet prints titled mood, and a stunning glass sculpture that debuted at the exhibition in New York. A newly commissioned essay by Dieter Schwarz, one of the foremost experts on Richter’s oeuvre, illustrates the artist’s path toward his newest bodies of work, revealing the creative process behind his iconic practice.

Gerhard Richter (born 1932) is predominantly known for his paintings and drawings, which strike a playful balance between photo-realism and abstraction, while at once delving into often controversial political commentary. His works have explored a multitude of media, from photo-based, monochrome and brightly colored paintings to ink-doused papers and thin, multicolored strips of pure pattern. Beyond his artistic works, and particularly in recent years, Richter has published extensively on his vision of art and artistic values: in letters, interviews, public statements, excerpts and articles, Richter has established himself as a brilliant advocate of contemporary painting. Richter has also increasingly explored the possibilities of the book as medium in a series of extraordinary artist's books. "Gerhard Richter: Books" takes an in-depth look at his work in this medium. It features a book-length interview with the artist by internationally renowned art critic and historian Hans Ulrich Obrist, who walks us through the Richter archive and discusses the work with the artist himself, affording the reader an entirely new perspective on his works. The book also includes a new text by Kunstmuseum Winterthur director Dieter Schwarz.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Informatik - Angewandte Informatik, Note: 2,0, Private FernFachhochschule Darmstadt; Standort Pfungstadt (Informatik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Problemstellung: Am Beispiel des kommunalen Bauhofes geht die Arbeit der Frage nach, wie der Einsatz eines Informationssystems in der Kommunalverwaltung erfolgen und wie ein derartiges Informationssystem aussehen kann. Dabei wird das Ziel verfolgt, dessen Einsatz im kommunalen Bauhof unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer moglichst grossen Transparenz darzustellen, wobei der Informationssystemeinsatz vom Verfasser dieser Arbeit von Anfang an als Teil eines Organisationsentwicklungsprojektes im kommunalen Bauhof angesehen wird. Zuerst mussen die organisationsspezifischen Probleme gelost werden, indem die Prozesse im System Bauhof identifiziert, analysiert und optimiert werden. Erst dann kann ein zum System passendes Informationssystem konzipiert werden, denn nur optimierte Prozesse und Ablaufe bilden die Voraussetzung fur ein wirtschaftliches Handeln der kommunalen Bauhofe. Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich schwerpunktmassig mit der Prozessgestaltung im kommunalen Bauhof. Neben der theoriegestutzten, prozessbezogenen Ableitung anhand eines praktischen Beispiels sollen Ansatze zur Beschreibung und Gestaltung von Informationssystemen fur den kommunalen Bauhof gegeben sowie die grundlegende Vorgehensweise fur den Einsatz eines Informationssystems in der Kommunalverwaltung am Beispiel des kommunalen Bauhofes aufgezeigt werden. Gang der Untersuchung: Das erste Kapitel leitet in die Arbeit ein. Anschliessend werden die fur das Verstandnis der Arbeit wichtigen Grundbegriffe vorgestellt (Kapitel 2). Ausgehend vom Ist-Zustand kommunaler Bauhofe wird im dritten Kapitel die Gestaltung kommunaler Prozesse ausfuhrlich erlautert und an einem Kernprozess beispielhaft dargestellt. Hierauf aufbauend wird im vierten Kapitel ein Konzept fur ein Informationssystem unter dem Gesichtspunkt des Eins

From the beginning of his career, Fred Sandback (1943-2003) used drawing to formulate his ideas of sculptural volume. In pictures of existing rooms, Sandback explored the possibilities of spaces and planes by drawing his famous horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines in colored pencil. In the 1980s, he expanded his drawing repertoire to include acrylic, the pochoir technique and pastel. In these late drawings--considered to be more pictorial than his pencil sketches--Sandback elaborated on the experience of space, mass and volume in ways impossible in a coherent space: many of these sculptural ideas are absolutely boundless. Only a specific section of the whole is intimated in the drawing, for which Sandback invented unusual techniques: actual incisions instead of drawn lines, for instance, or painterly traces on transparent film. Superbly produced and edited, "Fred Sandback: Drawings" assembles works from a 30-year span, supplemented by sculptural works.
