The
book 'Constructed Literary Musical' has evolved over the many years of my acquaintance
with Hanne Darboven: a first draft was completed as long ago as 1974. It is
divided into two parts. At the beginning of Part I, which affords an introduction
to Hanne Darboven's work, are the early constructions (drawings 1965-69), and
installation shots of her first big exhibition at the Kunstverein in Münster
in 1971. At that show, it was already possible to sense how this 'self constructed'
work based on the calendar leads into a complex system of writing. This system
forms the framework on which Hanne Darboven's whole oeuvre is built. In part
II, the 398 images of the work Friedrich II, Harburg 1986 are reproduced in
their entirety.
The
notebook with the date 3/24/1995 marks the day of our last conversation when
the book went to press.
