The association calls our attention to the physicality of the material, along with its sensuality and beauty on the one hand and its unnatural aspect on the other. “The curves of carved marble do not look like human bodies’ curves except in crass form”, - said Jimmie Durham - “If you saw a person the color of that white marble, you would be sure it was a supernatural person or some sort of robot.”"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"Een foto van de beroemde *Venus van Milo* werd gespeld naast een met gips bedekte beha. Door de associatie wordt onze aandacht gericht op het fysische van het materiaal: aan de ene kant is er de sensualiteit en de schoonheid van het beeldje, aan de andere kant zijn onnatuurlijke aanblik. Volgens Jimmie Durham lijken 'de rondingen van gebeeldhouwd marmer niet op de rondingen van het menselijke lichaam, het zij dan in lompe vorm. Moest je iemand zien die de kleur zou hebben van dat witte marmer, dan zou je overtuigd zijn dat het een bovennatuurlijke persoon was, of een soort robot.'"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"Une photographie de la fameuse *Vénus de Milo* est épinglée à côté d'un soutien-gorge recouvert de plâtre.
