Aprašymas
Artist, poet, performer, essayist and activist, Jimmie Durham (1940-2021) is a unique figure in the international art history of the last half century. Edited by Kathryn Weir, this first major publication since his death in late 2021 features more than ten newly commissioned essays as well as extensive documentary materials that have never previously been published. It also includes an unpublished poem that Durham wrote in 2020 and that was presented to the public in a retrospective that Weir curated at the Madre museum of contemporary art in Naples in 2022, the first exhibition to consider all of Durham's oeuvre. Across a career spanning more than fifty years, Durham dedicated his practice to the critical decoding of the naturalised images and symbols that underpin dominant cultural systems. His works, marked by a strong vein of humour, range from sculptures to videos, poems, performances, installations, paintings, drawings, collages, prints and essays. This book is a tribute to an artist whose protean, multi-layered work is fundamental to the understanding of contemporary art and its possible futures. Its title, taken from a print by Durham, underlines his project to relativise as culturally specific the universalising and teleological notions of the human characteristic of European modernity.
