'The "Crisis of Monumentality" is a historical reference to the standing of monuments over the last century as the physical and symbolic manifestation of political and religious control and power over the collective memory of social groups and nations. This exhibition searches for new concepts, forms and sites of the monumental that examines the anti-monument, cities as monuments, collective memory, commemoration, and the eternal.
'These artists' practices, rooted in the diverse practices of painting, charcoal, and Chinese ink, share a re-thinking of monumentality and how it relates to their art making through their lived experiences in the Asian context. They share a deep concern of new visual strategies of monumentality, and how they are made, remade, and unmade in different social and cultural contexts.' — from website of Chan Hampe Galleries
