Monuments: Creative Forces is an outdoor installation by Australian artist Craig Walsh. The exhibition’s subjects will be artists whose work and artistic endeavors are changing the shape of our community in profound ways. Expansive video portraits of these creative heroes, chosen by a diverse panel of community and arts leaders, will be projected on to towering trees, transforming them into animated sculptural monuments.Monuments: Creative Forces redefines traditional expectations of public monuments and the selective history represented in our civic spaces. At a time when our nation questions the efficacy of effigy, Strathmore creates a space for the community to further explore the conversation around monuments and their meaning. The project challenges the traditional concept of monuments to celebrate living, contributing, members of our community, and swapping out chiseled marble for an ethereal face in the leaves of a tree.
