Collection: Courtesy of the artist.

Jimmie Durham placed fruits on a table and painted a few stones so that they would each resemble one of the pieces of fruit. He smashed (or stoned) the fruits using the corresponding stone: stone grapes on real grapes, stone banana on real banana, idem with a mango, a watermelon, a papaya...

The final artwork consists of the video of the performance and a table with the stone fruit on it.

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.
