Hanne Darboven
Hanne Darboven – Der Regenmacher
MKM Museum Küppersmühle für Moderne Kunst, Duisburg
Through March 21, 2021

In light of recent developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the opening, events and talks are subject to change.

The MKM is dedicating a solo exhibition to conceptual art icon Hanne Darboven (1941–2009). On show are four major work cycles from the Ströher Collection, comprising some 2,000 individual works and easily filling the 6 meter high walls of the MKM.
They are exemplary of Hanne Darboven’s thought and work, whose centre is the writing and making visible of time as a possibility of experiencing and coping with reality. Her serial sequences of sheets become a physically tangible storage medium for time, current events and her own biography.

Louise Lawler
Andy in Chicago

Long term presentation at Art Institute Chicago
The Art Institute of Chicago – AIC, Chicago
Through March 7, 2021

Louise Lawler’s work since the 1970s has considered the lives of artworks in museums, private collections, galleries, storage facilities, and auction houses. Her photographs examine how meaning is aggregated and ever-changing within the intersections of larger societal and cultural contexts. She often returns to her earlier photographs to reconsider and reframe her subjects and their presentation. For the works now on view in Griffin Court, the artist returned to her 2004 photograph Andy in L. A., which shows an Andy Warhol self-portrait in a private collection in Los Angeles.

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT
September 20, 2020–May 9, 2021

Among the myriad of forms that have appeared in Frank Stella’s work, the star is the most singular, standing out as a stable and immediately identifiable shape in the midst of the complex tangle of abstract, invented forms that the artist has utilized over his long career. Frank Stella’s Stars will be presented both indoors and outdoors, with several monumental works being sited in the Aldrich’s Sculpture Garden.
