"Monumental cares rethinks monument debates, site specificity and art activism in
light of problems that strike us as monumental or overwhelming, such as war, migration
and the climate crisis. The book shows how artists address these issues, from Chicago
and Berlin to Oslo, Bucharest and Hong Kong, in media ranging from marble and glass
to postcards, graffiti and re-enactment. A multidirectional theory of site does justice
to specific places but also to how far-away audiences see them. What emerges is a
new ethics of care in public art, combined with a passionate engagement with reality
harking back to the realist aesthetics of the nineteenth century. Familiar questions
can be answered anew: what to do with monuments, particularly when they are the products
of terror and require removal, modification or recontextualisation? And can art address
the monumental concerns of our present?"
