Item: Almost Spontaneous #4

Jimmie Durham

2003

Painting, 120 x 100 cm.
Materials:

Collection: Courtesy of the artist and Galerie Michel Rein, Paris (Inv. no. 05-522).

In preparation for the video-performance Tocetea, Jimmie Durham had placed wooden boards on the walls of the gallery (see photos), hoping that paint would splash all over the place when the stone eventually fell in the bucket, creating various colour impressions on the boards. But that was not the case - the boards remained intact. Durham then peeled the acrylic paint from the floor and glued them on the wooden boards, almost spontaneously.

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.
