Synopsis
Principally working with salvaged materials, Cherokee Jimmie Durham--poet, writer and visual artist--makes tongue-in-cheek assaults on the enduring colonial foundations which are firmly anchored to the base of Western culture. Durham, an activist in the American Indian movement in the 1970s, can sum up his artistic and political process in his will to "be so surgically specific it becomes universal." This small-format, compact publication presents more than 100 images of Durham's installations, which are enhanced by a series of essays by critics and essayists on the themes surrounding his work.

Review
'Revelatory about his life experience as a writer and artist.' (Artforum) 'The boldest, best executed, and most far-reaching publishing project devoted to contemporary art. These books will revolutionize the way contemporary art is presented and written about.' (Artforum) 'The combination of intelligent analysis, personal insight, useful facts and plentiful pictures is a superb format invaluable for specialists but also interesting for casual readers, it makes these books a must for the library of anyone who cares about contemporary art.' (Time Out) 'A unique series of informative monographs on individual artists.' (The Sunday Times) 'Gives the reader the impression of a personal encounter with the artists. Apart from the writing which is lucid and illuminating, it is undoubtedly the wealth of lavish illustrations which makes looking at these books a satisfying entertainment.' (The Art Book)

Brossura. Condition: fine. Como, Fondazione Ratti, 1 luglio - 22 luglio 2004.Traduzione di Bhatnagar P. e Fadda S.Testo Italiano e Inglese.Milano, 2004; br., pp. 158, 102 ill. b/n e col., cm 14,5x21.(Fondazione Ratti. 9). Cherokee, born in Arkansas (USA) in 1940, Jimmie Durham is a poet, writer and visual artist who was an activist in the American Indian Movement in the Seventies. He principally works with salvaged materials and with his works he means, in the first place, to make a tongueincheek assault on the enduring colonial foundations which are firmly anchored to the base of Western culture. Durham's whole artistic and political process could in fact be summed up in his will to be so surgically specific it becomes universal. Visiting Professor of the tenth Advanced Course in Visual Arts held at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como, Durham's work has been exhibited in all the major international art collections, including Documenta, Kassel, the Venice Biennials, Sydney, Whitney Museum.
