Jimmie Durham & A Stick in the Forest by the Side of the Road Series (vol.1-12)

Jimmie Durham's final contribution to Documenta, in the form of a collective art projectThis volume is the outcome of a project initiated in 2021 by American artist Jimmie Durham (1940-2021). As his contribution to Documenta 15 in Kassel in 2022, he gathered a group of artists to form "a community on the road" and work in collaboration with him. Instead of focusing on any one theme, Durham encouraged the creation of wide-ranging works, thus highlighting how divergent artistic practices can intertwine and enter into conversation with each other. After Durham died in November 2021 during the preparation period for Documenta 15, the collective decided to make his absence an active part of its working process. The artists included in the collective are Bev Koski, Elisa Strinna, Hamza Badran, Iain Chambers, Joen Vedel, Jone Kvie, Maria Thereza Alves and Wilma Lukatsch.
