    Detour over Rome, 2009
    Jimmie Durham
    Installation

    In 2009, Jimmie Durham installed a long chain of PVC tubes in the Acquario Romano in Rome. The chaotic parcours started in the garden of the Acquario, where, as if emerging out of a big stone, the pipes went through the patio and around the building while their diameter got smaller. The PVC tube went through a window into the building and continued on the walls of the library onto the café. The title Detour Over Rome refers to the travels of artists to Rome in the XIX Century.
