Monuments (exhibition)

(

)

... that the art exhibition Monuments features several decommissioned and altered Confederate monuments and memorials, along with contemporary art?

Source: Lucas, Julian (Oct 24, 2025), "A Daring Show Remixes the Monuments of the Confederacy" (paywall), The New Yorker. "At MOCA, where all the works but Walker’s are exhibited, you’ll find Jefferson Davis lying on his back [...] In another room, an enormous statue of Lee and Jackson, with 'BEWARE TRAITORS' scrawled in huge letters across its base [...] 'Monuments' powerfully unites the two approaches, displaying its vandalized statuary alongside nineteen artists' responses in a searching exploration of how the nation’s memory has been shaped."

Overall:

Good to go. Naturally, final judgment re: DYKINT goes to downstream poohbahs (n.b. the subjective nature of "interesting" oft leads to "DYKPINGPONG" regardless of what's said and done here at this stage of the DYK nomination process; if and when needed, I am also able and most gladly willing to jump back in then and play a round or two). Nice article. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 15:32, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
