Please join us for the launch of Smashing Monuments by Sebastián Díaz Morales. The afternoon will include a discussion between film maker, writer and researcher, Luciano Piazza and the artist, followed by the opening of the exhibition and an opportunity to watch the film. 2-3pm: In conversation: Sebastián Díaz Morales and Luciano Piazza3-4pm: Opportunity to watch Smashing Monuments and enjoy refreshments.﻿Smashing Monuments explores the relationships we have with urban monuments. Created by artist and filmmaker Sebastián Díaz Morales for documenta fifteen, the film follows five members of the Indonesian art collective ruangrupa as they walk the streets of Jakarta, pausing to engage in one-sided conversations with the monuments that populate their city.﻿﻿Sebastián and Luciano will discuss how urban developments, along with the passage of time, impact our everyday relationships with the monuments around us. Both Sebastián and Luciano have worked with ruangrupa in the past, so will each bring their individual insights into the collective’s creative practice, and shed light on some of the deeper contexts behind the film. Additionally, Luciano has spent time living in Edinburgh, so will bring local insight to the discussion.Luciano will also contribute a new short essay to accompany the exhibition.Read more about the exhibition and the artists <a href="https://www.collective-edinburgh.art/programme/smashing-monuments" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
