Item: You Have Another Chance [U Heeft Nog Een Kans]

Jimmie Durham

2000

Installation
Materials:

"I would like to make an object. A sculptured thing that is part sculpture and part contraption, that would be pleasing to look at and also pleasing to operate, to use. (...) It wants to be built specifically for some corner in Gent, so that it fits the corner of the building and is (temporarily) attached to the building and completely takes the space, to the curb of the street. One cannot walk around it. One side is an open door that has a turnstile, a sort of revolving door. Above the door, in several languages, large, bright lettering read: YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE. The other side reads: GO BACK, RECONSIDER." [Jimmie Durham, December 1999]

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.
