Installation
, variable dimensions (each piece 5 to 6 cm)
wood, metal
In the summer of 2007, Jimmie Durham did a 3-month residency at the Atelier Calder (the former studio of the American artist Alexander Calder) in Saché, France. One of the artworks he presented there was a table covered with small figurines. Each of these pieces was composed by two elements: one metal piece (collected by Durham during his walks) and one wooden piece, sculpted by the artist using different types of woods. These two elements are not permanently fixed, and can eventually be combined differently by the artist every time they are displayed.
