    In 2001, the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam presented an exhibition with works of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) such as Ship of Fools, Death and the Miser and Christ Carrying the Cross together with works of contemporary artists like Bill Viola, William Kentridge, Salvador Dalí and Mariko Mori. Jimmie Durham was also among the artists invited to respond to Bosch’s work. He made this small vitrine with a Bosch-inspired landscape populated by animals, monsters and strange plants like in The Garden of Earthly Delights.
