Tocetea is a word in the language of the P'urhépecha (an indigenous people from the Northwestern region of Mexico) which translates to “I Teach Myself”. In this video, Jimmie Durham drops a heavy stone three times until it finally teaches itself how to fall inside a bucket full of red, blue and yellow paint.

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.
