Jimmie Durham
Published by M HKA, Antwerp, 1993, foldout poster / booklet (b/w ill.), 14.7 × 21 cm (folded) 42 × 29.5 cm (unfolded), English
Price: €25

A contribution from the original publication On Taking a Normal Situation and Retranslating it Into Overlapping and Multiple Readings of Conditions Past and present.

An exhibition devised by Yves Aupetitallot, Iwona Blazwick and Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev within the framework of ANTWERP 93. Its title was inspired by Gordon Matta Clark who made one of his final works in the city, and which in turn led to the foundation of M HKA. In some ways the subject of this exhibition was ‘the exhibition’. What it proposed, however, was a new relation between structure, location, context, artist and audience.

Produced on the occasion of Richard Prince’s exhibition The Magic Castle 1968–1969 at Le Consortium, Dijon, in 2011, based on a series of photographs taken when he was student in France. With a text by Richard Prince.

American artist Richard Prince recycles found materials from American popular culture, most often images from advertisement and magazine photography which he re-photographs, silkscreens, overpaints, frames, enlarges, or arranges in collages, playing with their somehow empty meaning.

Leon Filter’s artist book MUMMYTHEDADDY is a collection of personal anecdotes, and written images that explore paternal relationships, inherited memories and experiences with familiar roles. Through stories of military service, dementia, and monsters, the author reflects on the complexities of family histories. By examining how we remember and forget, MUMMYTHEDADDY emphasizes the contributions of narratives in shaping our understanding of how intergenerational dynamics form, and proposes to reshape roles within dependency relationships. With afterwords by Valentina Curandi.
