LECTURE
Dan Adler: Hanne Darboven and Cultural History
Thursday 28 August | 7pm

In tandem with our summer exhibition, 'Not Quite How I Remember It,' art critic and art historian Dan Adler discusses German conceptual artist Hanne Darboven's work on time, history and memory. Adler focuses on the monumental piece Kulturgeschichte 1880-1983 (Cultural History 1880-1983) (1980-1983). Comprising 590 wall-mounted panels of uniform size and format and nineteen objects, the work traces one hundred years of history via images and texts that include postcards, art reproductions, portraits of film stars, and the covers of weekly magazines. Many bear handwritten notes and quotations. Beginning with the date, whose numbers are manipulated into a temporal and chronological system, the work constructs an encompassing, encyclopedic archive that fuses public history and collective memory with personal experience.

Assistant Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art History at the University of Guelph, Dan Adler specializes in the history of art writing and the aesthetics of installation art. He has published in Art History and regularly contributes to Artforum and Canadian Art. His study of Darboven's Kulturgeschichte 1880-1983 will be published by Afterall books.
