For Durham, boulders are the ultimate sculptural form, because each boulder is in itself a changing sculpture that is shaped by the elements in the course of time. He is fascinated by the personality of boulders, the ways in which a static object can become active, like a character in a story.

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.
