"I would like to make an object. A sculptured thing that is part sculpture and part contraption, that would be pleasing to look at and also pleasing to operate, to use. (...) It wants to be built specifically for some corner in Gent, so that it fits the corner of the building and is (temporarily) attached to the building and completely takes the space, to the curb of the street. One cannot walk around it. One side is an open door that has a turnstile, a sort of revolving door. Above the door, in several languages, large, bright lettering read: YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE. The other side reads: GO BACK, RECONSIDER." [Jimmie Durham, December 1999]
