Ost-West-Demokratie

Kewenig is pleased to present Hanne Darboven’s work “Ost-West-Demokratie“ (1983), consisting of 1,512 handwritten postcards, sheets of paper, fabric flags and photographs in 190 frames. This is the fifth exhibition by Hanne Darboven at the gallery, but the first in Berlin.

Hanne Darboven (1941–2009) is one of the most influential women artists of the past decades. Her outstanding work is based on writing, but “writing without describing.” Numbers, being universal and non-literary, were a means of marking out time and space; numbers not as concerned with calculation as with counting. Various of her artworks incorporate a vast collection of texts and visual material representing the history of the 19th and 20th centuries.
