Exhibition "rejected stone" Jimmie Durham
The Modern Art Museum of the City of Paris has now "released Stones ... , "A retrospective of the work of American artist of Cherokee origin, Jimmie Durham. Established since 1994 in Europe, this major player in contemporary art, yet little known, has long championed the Indian cause while denouncing imperialism and segregation. His work is marked by her quest for identity and his unconventional mind. By diverting its own identity in the photographic series Self-portrait, the artist reinvents history.
It permeates his work a total refusal to belong to any system, whether governmental or aesthetics. With humor and violence, he criticizes the vanity of the man and his submission to a hierarchical society. The diversity found in this exhibition reinforces the freeness of this nomadic artist juxtaposes raw materials to manufactured goods. It creates a parallel between nature and its exploitation by the omnipresence of technology in our consumer society. The unique style of Jimmie Durham's work reflects his struggle against societal norms and geography. Through his sculptures, videos, drawings and photographs, he appropriates powerful symbols such as the Arc de Triomphe that reconstructed human scale wood and metal. This practice is intended to hijack the will of Western culture which is to dominate and to express its power through its monuments.
Nature plays an important role in the work of Jimmie Durham. She is both witness and victim of a society self-defeating. We thus find slices of tree trunks marked by rifle bullets during WW2 or a marble slab bleeding wounded heart. This character bears the scars of a world it seems disrespectful with a gentleness and brutality shifted. The artist uses regularly in his work the stone, symbol and metaphor of the architecture of the controversy as a tool of destruction. Nature seems to take revenge by pods fridge repeatedly in St. Fridge or crushing a tourist plane in peace again before settling down to make way for a concert in the video Grunewald forest.
The exhibition "Stone rejected ... "Which appears as the testimony of a disintegrating world can inspire the viewer as perplexing. Criticism of the artist is not always easy to understand and the lack of translations of certain texts sometimes prevents capture the essence of the work. It is therefore important to learn about the uniqueness of the work of Jimmie Durham to join his style.
