Hanne Darboven, who described herself as a writer and composer, is one of the most important artists of the 21st century. At the center of her work is the writing down and visualization of time as a way of experiencing and coping with reality. “My work is a recording in the sense of Dasein, it is working through” Darboven formulated as early as 1966 and throughout her life developed her very own contribution to Conceptual Art and Minimal Art. Until her death in 2009, the artist lived and worked in seclusion in Hamburg in a studio that resembled a Wunderkammer.<\/p>\n

The MKM is showing four large cycles of works from the Str\u00f6her Collection, comprising around 2,000 individual works. They are exemplary for Hanne Darboven’s thinking and work and are complemented by biographical insights. The central work The Rainmaker<\/em>(1985) can be seen for the first time after a good 20 years in its entirety with all 1,386 sheets.<\/p>\n

Obsessive, highly complex, precise, and rooted in the present – this is how Hanne Darboven’s work can be described. Starting from the current date, the artist has created her own system of order from combinations of numbers, calendar pages, handwritten documents and collected visual material. Her serial sequences of sheets, which fill entire museum walls, become a physically tangible storage medium of time, current events, and her own biography. Darboven’s elegant, androgynous appearance with the characteristic short haircut was also style-defining.<\/p>\n

“And finally, I came up with the daily data, since you’re dealing with the sense and nonsense of things on a daily basis.”<\/h4>\n
