Jimmie Durham

2010

Sculpture, 73 x 60 x 110 cm.
Materials: Wooden table, wooden golf club, plastic tape, a book

Collection: Courtesy of the artist and Sprovieri Gallery, London.

In 2010, Jimmie Durham made a large-scale installation including sculptures, photographs, drawings, texts and documentation material that presented a humorous but nevertheless political investigation of the history and cultural identity of Scottish and Native Americans as well as the intersections between the two. In a few of the pieces in the exhibition, titled Universal Miniature Golf (The Promised Land), Durham used references to golf, like in Second Life, where a table has one of its feet replaced by a golf club.

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.
