DANTE ALIGHIERI

“Momentary Monument III” by Lara Favaretto

approx 36.000 sandbags, scaffolding // 450 x 2600 x 2600 cm

Installation view at Piazza Dante, Trento, Italy ‘CIVICA 1989 – 2009, Celebration, Institution, Critique’, Fondazione Galleria Civica di Trento, 2010

“Momentary Monument II (The Wall) – commissioned in 2009 by Trento’s Galleria Civica on the occasion of a survey show to mark the museum’s 20th anniversary – made headlines and stirred up a huge political controversy surrounding the value, costs and failures of contemporary art. While it was still under construction, one side of the 36,000 sand-bag ‘fortification’ that Favaretto was creating around the city’s monument to Dante Alighieri, collapsed under its own weight. The statue already had a conflicted history: unveiled in 1896, when Italian-speaking Trento was still under Habsburg rule, the monument was funded by public subscription, with the aim of celebrating Italian culture, language and identity, in a provocative response to the creation in 1889 of a statue of the medieval poet Walther von der Vogelweide in the main square of the nearby German-speaking town of Bozen/Bolzano. Favaretto’s original intention with Momentary Monument III (The Wall) had been ‘to create a space of perplexity, a temporal puzzle’, but she later declared that it was only through the work collapsing and becoming the subject of public criticism, rather than merely evoking a state of entrenchment, that it found its real urgency and significance.”

Lara Favaretto at Skulptur Projekte Münster

With the openings this weekend of both Skulptur Projekte Münster and documenta 14, the contemporary art world enjoys, along with the ongoing Venice Biennale, a rare trifecta of the major continental exhibitions. We’ll look at the work of some of the Italian artists whose work takes part in or comments upon the international art fair scene.

Lara Favaretto’s Momentary Monument — The Stone (2017) sits in a quiet meadow between Ludgeriplatz Square and the Promenade on the outskirts of Münster, quietly interrogating the nearby public memorial to Germany’s colonial exploits. 

Commissioned for this decade’s Skulptur Projekte, the Treviso-born, Turin-based Favaretto revived her Momentary Monuments series, which, since it was inaugurated in 2005, has seen monoliths, walls, and barriers of debris and scrap erected in New York City, Liverpool, Kabul, Kassel, and Venice, only to be later demolished. Münster’s iteration is an unassuming hollow cenotaph reminiscent of both 2001: A Space Odyssey and a grave marker. As with the project of the same name that was included in last year’s Liverpool Biennale, the monument is tactile and accessible, including an opening into which visitors can throw their spare change. At the close of Skulptur Projekte, Momentary Monument — The Stone will be ceremonially shattered, the rubble redistributed around the city and the money donated to Hilfe für Menschen in Abschiebehaft Büren e.V., a local foundation that advocates for the abolition of deportation detention.
