Abstract

What does it mean for a protest to be sculptural? For forces to swirl around an object, for and against: a raging bull, a Confederate solider, a half-forgotten eugenicist, or liberty itself? Looking at what people say about them, our monuments' significance is clear. Monuments publicly enshrine perspectives, feeling, reverence, and devotion, Yet, in our estimation, they stand for a type of power that we will always oppose in the final instance - larger than life, institutional, regal, enduring.
