In 2010, Jimmie Durham made a large-scale installation including sculptures, photographs, drawings, texts and documentation material that presented a humorous but nevertheless political investigation of the history and cultural identity of Scottish and Native Americans as well as the intersections between the two. In a few of the pieces in the exhibition, titled Universal Miniature Golf (The Promised Land), Durham used references to golf, like in Second Life, where a table has one of its feet replaced by a golf club.
