Monuments Seminar at BAI, Image: © www.BerlinArtInstitute.com
Artist duo VARIOUS & GOULD led a seminar on monuments, discussing past and present monuments of Berlin and the relationship monuments have to their own practice.
I followed this seminar by visiting some of the monuments in the city, this included the Marx Engels sculpture in Mitte. The seminar discussed how there had been some controversy with this particular monument, as it was moved to a new location in 1986 and now points to the west rather than the east as before.
