{"product_id":"16683-jimmie-durham","title":"Jimmie Durham","description":"\"We live in a world of our own making [...], and I want to look at this\u003cbr\u003epeculiarity from the perspective of material,\" says the artist Jimmie Durham. In a collection of notes, made during a series of lectures he gave in Venice, Durham examines our relationship to the world through material: tangible substances like wood, oak, petroleum, or plastic, and abstract, theoretical things like mathematics, prime numbers, and arithmetic. His notebook breathes life into the idea that \"our knowledge of the world derives from the way we are constructed. We build the world as we are built.\" Focusing on wood and petroleum, he takes readers from the history of Venice's development, through a sculpture with a built-in flaw, to the fact that fish tissue is so filled with plastic that a scientist friend no longer eats these animals.\u003cbr\u003eJimmie Durham (*1940) is an artist, political activist, and author; he lives in Berlin and Rome.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2898-0)","offer_id":44503954456840,"sku":"9783775728980","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4955-8)","offer_id":44573667229960,"sku":"9783775749558","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3078-5)","offer_id":44573667262728,"sku":"9783775730785","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775728980_bf419f17-5664-46f6-b5cb-ffab64d6fe9d.jpg?v=1744103697","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16683-jimmie-durham","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
