Jimmie Durham－Evidence｜2016

Jimmie Durham－Evidence｜2016

“A quiet assemblage of natural rhythm and industrial artifact—where found objects dismantle modern perceptions of materiality.”

Published as an official exhibition publication by the Mönchehaus Museum Goslar in Germany for the exhibition running from October 8, 2016, to January 29, 2017, this poster celebrates American-born artist Jimmie Durham on the occasion of receiving the prestigious Kaiserring (Emperor’s Ring) of the City of Goslar.

In Evidence, Durham presents a thought-provoking series of sculptural assemblages that bridge the gap between organic nature and human manufacturing. The featured poster image reveals his subtle juxtaposition of raw, twisted tree branches intertwined with metallic pipe fittings, an industrial lens, and dark geometric machine parts. By stripping everyday items of their intended functionality, Durham highlights the physical presence and sculptural weight of each component, inviting a deeper reflection on history, consumption, and space.

As an authentic museum publication (84cm x 59.5cm), this print pairs the nuanced detail of Durham’s assemblage sculpture with clean Swiss-style typography, anchored by the subtle terracotta title text. Its intricate tactile layers, architectural composure, and strong historical significance within modern conceptual art make it a sophisticated focal point for contemporary residences, architectural practices, design studios, and fine art poster archives.

「自然律動與工業遺存的沉靜對話—以日常物件解構當代物質的既定想像。」

這幅官方展覽海報由德國著名的 Mönchehaus Museum Goslar（戈斯拉爾門興豪斯博物館） 印製發行，為當代藝術家 Jimmie Durham 於 2016 年 10 月 8 日至 2017 年 1 月 29 日獲頒德國藝術盛事「戈斯拉爾皇帝環獎（Kaiserring）」時舉辦之個展《Evidence》官方出版物。

Durham 以極具哲思與批判性的複合媒材（Assemblage）雕塑聞名於世。在《Evidence》（物證）展覽中，他將採集自自然的粗糙樹枝，與金屬管線、光學鏡頭及工業轉向盤等人類文明造物交織組合。他抽離了物件原本的實用功能，讓自然的有機線條與冷冽的工業組件在空間中形成靜止而緊張的平衡，藉由這些實體「物證」引導觀者思考物質、歷史與人類社會之間的微妙關係。

此海報為美術館官方原版展覽出版物（84cm x 59.5cm），將雕塑豐富的物料細節與質感，與底部與左上角典雅排版的瑞士風格字體完美結合。其具備深厚觀念藝術底蘊的物件語言、冷靜的幾何結構感與獨特的哲學氣場，能為現代極簡居所、建築設計工作室、私人空間或當代藝廊牆面注入沉靜且具無可比擬質感的藝術氣場。
