“A World Of Statues” Exhibition
Foxy Production
This event has ended.
A World of Statues is a group exhibition of photography and video about memorials and memory.
“A world compartmentalized, Manichaean and petrified, a world of statues: the statue of the general who led the conquest, the statue of the engineer who built the bridge. A world cocksure of itself, crushing with its stoniness the backbones of those scarred by the whip. “ Frantz Fanon
The word “monument” comes from the Latin for “warning,” as if its original role was to caution and instruct from the vantage of history. Monuments are some of the oldest artworks and buildings on earth and some, like the pyramids, are grand symbols of past civilizations. They are statues, too, of famous or forgotten men, often forged in bronze or stone, who sit in parks and on roundabouts, celebrating their wins and glossing over their defeats. “Remember me,” they sternly dictate, “in all my glory.” But to whom and of what do they warn?
