Is that a moose at MoMA?
Working in New York in the 1980s, artist #JimmieDurham foraged for bones and other materials to create patchwork figures. For this assemblage, he embellished a moose skull with paint and replaced one of its horns with a metal pipe. Found in a dumpster near @stjohndivinenyc, the skull is mounted on a wooden structure that at once functions as the moose’s skeleton and resembles the scaffolding encountered on city streets.
At the link in our bio, read a new interview with the artist and curator @paulinapobocha about poetry, activism, and Durham's uncanny knack for breathing new life into found materials. See "The Cathedral of St. John" and more works by Durham in the #MoMACollection Gallery 207: Assembly.

[Jimmie Durham. "The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan is the World’s Largest Gothic Cathedral. Except, of course, that it is a fake; first by the simple fact of being built in Manhattan, at the turn of the century. But the stone work is re-inforced with steel which is expanding with rust. Someday it will destroy the stone. The Cathedral is in Morningside Heights overlooking a panoramic view of Harlem which is separated by a high fence." 1989. Moose skull with antler, metal pipe, wood, and paint]
