Eyvind Kang and Trevor Dunn are performing excerpts from works by Hanne Darboven on the occasion of Descartes’ Daughter, a group show curated by Piper Marshall

Renowned composer and violist Eyvind Kang brings his own consonant, alchemical precision to performing excerpts from Darboven’s Wende 80 (“Turning Point,” 1980/81) and Requiem Op. 19.

Based primarily on transposing numbers, Hanne Darboven’s notational visual language eventually came to let in transcribed texts from favorite writers, her own looping, cursive script, found and re-photographed images, music and beyond: ever-expanding, ever-condensing. Often hinting at the opposite of its calendrical, self-evident rigor, Darboven’s compositional ardor embodies, corrupts, and renews time. -FM

Cost: $5
