Join us for the opening of Smashing Monuments by Sebastián Díaz Morales, from 2–4pm on Saturday 25 March 2023.

Originally comissioned for documenta fifteenSmashing Monuments explores the relationships we have with urban monuments. The film follows five members of the Indonesian art collective ruangrupa as they walk the streets of Jakarta, engaging in one-sided conversations with the monuments around them.

The afternoon will include an ‘in conversation’ event with Sebastián and fellow artist Luciano Piazza, who has created an accompanying essay for the exhibition.

Sebastián and Luciano will discuss how urban developments, along with the passage of time, impact our everyday relationships with the statues and monuments that populate our cities. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to watch the film and enjoy refreshments. 

Capacity for the artist talk is limited, so please book your free ticket here if you wish to attend.

All welcome from 3.00pm to view the work. 

Access information about our site can be found here.

Smashing Monuments produced with financial support of documenta fifteen, Mondriaan Fonds and The Kingdom of the Netherlands.
