Hanne Darboven/John Cage Tapa blanda - 2000

Información de la editorial

This small volume combines works by Hanne Darboven and John Cage from the collection of the Bayerische Staatsgalerie moderner Kunst in Munich. It shows the independent oeuvres of two highly individual artists whose works both touch on minimalism. Joachim Kaak's substantial analytic essay examines Hanne Darboven's 7 Tafeln, a geometric construction on squared millimeter paper based on prime numbers and the square. Corinna Thierolf analyzed John Cage's Ryoanji, a loose series of drawings made between 1983 and 1992. The title refers to the rock garden of the Ryoanji monastery in the northwest of Kyoto. With the help of the I Ching, the ancient book of wisdom and truth, Cage established a number system based on random operations. These are reproduced in the book following a rhythm predetermined by Cage.
