�With astuteness and feeling, Stina Barchan captures the wonderful friendship between Hannah H�ch and Kurt Schwitters and their artistic affinities. She deftly traces how each threaded together archival treasures and different forms of three-dimensional montage in their homes and workspaces to create living art in difficult times.� (Maud Lavin, Professor Emerita, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and author of Cut with the Kitchen Knife: The Weimar Photomontages of Hannah H�ch) �Focusing on Hannah H�ch's archive (rather than her artworks) and her post-Second World War activities (rather than the Dada period), Stina Barchan bypasses conventional approaches to the artist and compellingly argues that H�ch's holistic approach to art and life in this period was among the most fundamentally subversive and radical of her career.� (Adrian Sudhalter, author of Dadaglobe Reconstructed) The archive of the German artist Hannah H�ch (1889-1978) has long been an important source of material for historians researching the interwar avant-garde and artists associated with Berlin Dada. This book explores H�ch's practices of organisation when assembling the documents in her house outside Berlin from 1939 until her death. Through extensive research, the author argues that H�ch's archive should be considered not just a collection of documents but a work in its own right, intimately connected with the artist's daily life. Noting the importance of understanding the mechanisms of this work, the book suggests that H�ch took charge of both preserving and exploring the possibilities of Dada long after the group had been officially dissolved. The file that H�ch assembled on her friend, the artist Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948), plays an important part in the book, its content revealing how domestic habits infused both artists' practices. Juxtaposing H�ch's archive and Schwitters's Merzbau, the author argues for an interactive movement between the two that has fundamental implications for how we understand both artists' oeuvres.
