Item: Still Life with Stone and Car

Jimmie Durham

2004

Installation, variable dimensions.
Materials: car, stone, acrylic paint

Collection: Courtesy of the artist.

"In Sydney, for the Biennial, I did a very big stone with a car on top and my part of making the work was to go out and choose a car, go to the stone quarry and pick up a piece of stone. I painted the stone, I did something, I really am the artist. I don’t care if it looks like I’m the artist or not. It’s the action on the piece and the experience that’s interesting for me."

Produced for the Sydney Biennial 2004, now on permanent display in Sydney at the intersection of Hickson Road and Pottinger Street, Walsh Bay, Sydney, Australia.

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.
