Jimmie Durham was a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and activist who often explored themes of colonialism, displacement and the effects of Western dominance on Indigenous cultures. Durham’s work frequently critiques the narratives of power embedded in materials and objects, drawing attention to the histories of exploitation that surround them. By using found materials and industrial objects, he engaged with the environmental and social impacts of capitalism and globalisation. 'Colored Glass and Steel Construction with Epoxy Glue', exhibited at the Venice Biennale, is part of a series that uses materials sourced from Venice’s tourism industry. The glass and steel elements, often associated with souvenir production and maintenance of tourist sites, highlight the often-invisible labour that supports cultural heritage.
