Read more >>

What kind of monuments are possible? Where and when? In Estonia the artist Tauno Kangro has offered a 14 meter statue of a national hero as a gift to the City of Tallinn. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it the wrong location, an occupation of public space by private capital, a marvellous gift or a huge stupid mistake?
This 2-year project (2005-2006) take the controversial monument as starting point. It consists of a proposal for a counter-monument, a campaign to gain support for the proposal, an exhibition and a website.
