Approaching Darboven’s life and work through the lens of drawing, this succinct survey is organised around three watershed moments in the artist’s practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt begins with examples of Darboven’s \u003cem\u003eKonstruction\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eInventions that Have Changed Our World\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDistributed for the Menil Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Menil Collection, Houston\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 29, 2023–February 11, 2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460903190764,"sku":"9780300273298","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300273298-hanne-darboven-writing-time.jpg?v=1774955452","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/hanne-darboven-writing-time-by-kelly-montana-9780300273298","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
