    Preface : Anders Kreuger (Curator M HKA).

    Jimmie Durham, artist, poet and political activist, has been one of the most influential figures of recent decades. This volume of writings comprise a selection of essays and conferences on art and society, critical reflections on 'Eurasia', the history of US-American Indian relations, and observations on the city and nature. A recurrent theme is his interrogation of the ideological complicity between monumental architecture and scripture - 'architexture' - as the foundation of Eurocentric belief and tool of others' disenfranchisement.

    Here, words, lik the stones and motley materials he gathers for his assemblages, are remobilised otherwise ; they become agents for 'interrupting' received ideas through writings that both disturb and delight, but never cease to provoke questions about the forces that shape our world. Jimmie Durham's is a rare and liberating voice in the architextural wilderness of contemporary life.
