    In preparation for the video-performance Tocetea, Jimmie Durham had placed wooden boards on the walls of the gallery (see photos), hoping that paint would splash all over the place when the stone eventually fell in the bucket, creating various colour impressions on the boards. But that was not the case - the boards remained intact. Durham then peeled the acrylic paint from the floor and glued them on the wooden boards, almost spontaneously.
