Here's a Peanut Shaped Like a Bird

Jimmie Durham

2006

Sculpture, 160 x 49 x 47 cm.
Materials: wood, paint, formica, peanut

Collection: Private Collection, Amsterdam.

This humorous piece was made on the occasion of the exhibition Bestiary in Amsterdam in 2006. A peanut reminded Jimmie Durham of a bird; and so the artist added to it tiny paws and some paint and placed it in a wooden cage on top of a colourful pedestal. The artist, nevertheless, reminds us through a note on a board (emphasized by a red arrow) of the real identity of that little creature.
