Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. S0461_01).

Over the past forty years, Jimmie Durham has collected ‘1000 magic objects that keep the world together’. These are always broken or abandoned objects that he has found in different places around the world. Durham sent the objects to CUJO, who photographed them all and printed them in the magazine’s third edition. On the back cover is a list of where the objects were found, ranging from Arkansas to Italy, from Belgium to Mexico. One of the 1000 objects was inserted in every subsequent edition, regardless of its size.

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.
