Title:	Look In Look Out
Artist:	Durham, Jimmie (Washington, Arkansas, 1940 - Resides, Berlin, Germany)
Date:	1992
Medium:	Original Lithograph
Note:	Jimmie Durham: A leading contemporary painter and sculptor, Jimmie Durham is also known for his poetry, theater performances, civil rights work and as a treaty activist for the American Indian Movement. Born an Arkansas Cherokee, Jimmie Durham's first solo exhibition was held in Austin, Texas in 1965. Since that time his art has been the subject of exhibitions as such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art, Wittgenstein Haus, Vienna, Hamburg Kunstverein, Palais des Beaux Arts, Brussels, Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp, Institute of Contemporary Art, London, the European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Trentino, Italy and the Venice Biennale. Recently a retrospective of Jimmie Durham’s art was held at the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, France.
	Jimmie Durham has left his mark as both an artist and an activist. During the 1960's, his art and literature was strongly intertwined with the United States Civil Rights movement. He then moved to Geneva, Switzerland (1968) and studied there at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. In 1973, Jimmie Durham returned to the United States and worked as a political organizer for the American Indian Movement (AIM). During this decade, he also served as a director of the International Indian Treaty Council and as a representative to the United Nations.
	In 1981, Jimmie Durham became Director of the Foundation for the Community of Artists in New York City. "Columbus Day", a book of his poetry, was published in 1983. In 1987, Jimmie Durham moved to Cuernavaca, Mexico, and began to dedicate his creativity to his now famous sculpture and installations, often juxtaposed with text and or images. Obviously, 'text' plays a major role in "Look In Look Out". Within the actual lithograph Durham has written this unlikely request; "Please just ignore the English text".
	In 1994, Jimmie Durham moved back to Europe and has resided mostly in Berlin. Since that time his often controversial but always compelling art has continued to be a major, international force. As well, in 2005, Jimmie Durham co-curated, "The American West, an Attack on Cowboy and Indian Mythology", at Compton Verney, England.
