Jimmie Durham & A Stick in the Forest by the Side of the Road is a collective that came about from the idea of Jimmie Durham to gather together a group of artists to form “a community on the road” and contribute in collaboration with him to documenta fifteen. Durham did not expect the members of the collective – Bev Koski, Elisa Strinna, Hamza Badran, Iain Chambers, Joen Vedel, Jone Kvie, Maria Thereza Alves, and Wilma Lukatsch – to elaborate a single work or theme. Instead, they would share knowledge, empathy, and humour and leave open the possibility that their different contributions could entwine.
