Collection: Courtesy of the artist.

Compilation of 13 of Jimmie Durham's videos (see linked items bellow) - in collaboration with Maria Thereza Alves.

"Maria Thereza Alves and I took a residency to make videos. For one, I threw a stone through a shop window, from the inside out to the street. But the first video was about a stone sinking a boat: we found the stone, roughly the size of a basketball, on the beach; then I made the boat. There was no discomfort at all when it sank, probably because I had made it myself, and, more specifically, made it to have a brief moment of glory." [full text here]

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.
