Item: They Almost Fit

Jimmie Durham

2006

Collage, 110 x 85 cm.
Materials: wood

Collection: Private Collection, Berlin.

“It may be that there are more similarities than we think in these objects”, reads the text on the upper half of this wooden panel. At first sight, They Almost Fit is a collection of various materials grouped in between them in a way that they do not exactly fit. The dialogue between these elements is created through the way the artist has placed them, giving life to otherwise meaningless pieces of objects with the aid of short narratives, metaphors, word-play and quotes from other authors and from his own artworks.

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.
