Jimmie Durham: And now, so far in the future That no one will recognize Any of my jokes,

JIMMIE DURHAM:
And now, so far in the future
That no one will recognize
Any of my jokes,

Jimmie Durham: And now, so far in the future That no one will recognize Any of my jokes, is an oblique narrative of Durham’s artistic work, thinking and political activism, his readings, attitudes and ideas.

Conceived as a counterpoint to and in dialogue with the retrospective Jimmie Durham: humanity is not a completed project, curated by Kathryn Weir and hosted at museo Madre of Naples from 23.12.2022 to 08.05.2023, the exhibition presents sculptures from the Fondazione Morra Greco Collection, poems, writings, objects, prints, photographs, carpets, books, videos, documents … by and with Jimmie Durham: a reflection on exhibitions as a genre and a common space for sharing aesthetic experience and knowledge.

Exhibition organized by Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee in collaboration with Fondazione Morra Greco as part of Progetto XXI

Graphic design of the poems in the exhibition: Julia Born; Italian translation: Sacha Piersanti.
