Hanne Darboven
An illustrated study of Hanne Darboven's masterwork, the massive Kulturgeschichte (Cultural History ).
Hanne Darboven's Kulturgeschichte (Cultural History ) () is an overwhelming and encyclopedic installation consisting of 1, works on paper and 19 sculptural objects. The work weaves together cultural, social, and historical references with autobiographical documents, postcards, pinups of film and rock stars, documentary references to the first and second world wars, geometric diagrams for textile weaving, a sampling of New York doorways, illustrated covers from news magazines, the contents of an exhibition catalogue devoted to postwar European and American art, a kitschy literary calendar, and extracts from some of Darboven's earlier works. The panels are sequenced and grouped, with the groups then juxtaposed in arrangements that often seem little more than chance associations. In his illustrated walk through Darboven's massive work, Dan Adler explores its visual and aesthetic complexities and considers the work in relation to various projects undertaken by European artists in the s—including Gerhard Richter's ongoing Atlas. The work is now permanently installed at Dia: Beacon.•

Regen Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of the work Wunschkonzert () by Hanne Darboven. Originally shown in Documenta 11 () as a collection of loose pages in folders, this monumental piece consists of pages of uniform size divided into 4 Opus's (Opus 17a and b and Opus 18a and b). Each Opus is comprised of 36 poems, and each poem is made of 6 pages plus a title page on which an antiquarian greeting card celebrating a Christian confirmation has been collaged. The poems reveal a rhythmic movement in their increasing and decreasing rows of numbers, and the checksum values are represented in digits and line-notations (17a, 18a) or by digits entered into a grid (17b, 18b). This work adopts musical methods of movement and repetitive rhythms and was conceived against the backdrop of musical compositions by the artist. Darboven briefly pursued a career as a pianist and evidence of her interest in music can be found in the form and structure of many of her works which have musical connotations. Several of her piece
