Editor’s Note
In the autumn of this year Jimmie Durham, who has posed variously as an artist, a theoretical biologist, and as an international gardener, was detained under suspicion by the authorities at Antwerp Airport. Durham was found attempting to enter the city carrying sheets of dried pulp made from trees, upon which he allegedly had made certain markings. The following text, deciphered by the Bureau of Egress, was delivered to the Museum by the Bureau of Foreign Documents. The Museum does not claim authenticity for the text; certainly it does not contain the original markings made by Durham.
