Book synopsis

In the context of ongoing debates about memory practices in the public sphere, monuments and the collective processes around them are part of an increasingly dynamic engagement with efforts to decolonize public space, museum collections, and public institutions. In scholarly and artistic works, the contributors to this volume suggest new aesthetic conceptualizations that challenge the static features traditionally associated with the commemorative function of monuments. Emerging from research on the Skulptur Projekte Archives, they examine the relevance of the imaginary and the potential of the archive within such processes, exploring the diverse contemporary practices that give access to the blind spots of public memory.
