Ensemble: Jimmie Durham 1994 - 2012
In 1994 verhuisde Jimmie Durham naar Europa. Sindsdien woonde hij in Brussel, Lissabon, Marseille, Rome en Berlijn, waar hij momenteel gevestigd is (2012). Sinds 1994 heeft Durham aan een reeks projecten gewerkt die zich richten op thema's als architectuur en nationale narratieven. Steen is in Durhams werk ook sterk aanwezig, als materiaal en als middel, vaak als antiarchitecturaal en antimonumentaal statement.
Durham is wereldwijd blijven tentoonstellen en nam ook deel aan grote evenementen, zoals de Biënnale van Venetië. In de zomer van 2012 zal hij in Duitsland tentoonstellen op Documenta 13 in Kassel, nadat hij er reeds in 1992 te zien was. In mei 2012 wordt Durhams werk gepresenteerd op de grootste retrospectieve ooit, de M HKA-tentoonstelling Jimmie Durham. Een kwestie van leven en dood en zingen.
