Item: Detour over Rome

Jimmie Durham

2009

Installation
Materials:

In 2009, Jimmie Durham installed a long chain of PVC tubes in the Acquario Romano in Rome. The chaotic parcours started in the garden of the Acquario, where, as if emerging out of a big stone, the pipes went through the patio and around the building while their diameter got smaller. The PVC tube went through a window into the building and continued on the walls of the library onto the café. The title Detour Over Rome refers to the travels of artists to Rome in the XIX Century.

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.
