Jimmie Durham - Glass
12 May 2006 - 01 July 2006

Christine König Galerie, Wien

“Glass is clear at least. Well, I mean some glass is clear. There is now the status-symbol of un-clear, smoky glass windows in limousines so that the public cannot see the important man inside.

Don’t you think the clarity of glass has probably been made for better wine over the centuries? If we had no clear glass through which to admire the colour, wine might have stayed simply dark and serviceable.

So hard, yet so breakable! And when broken, so dangerously sharp! So un-reparable!”

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
