Some monuments are big, some old, some can inspire, and some commemorate while others celebrate. A monument can be anything from the Greek Parthenon to the Washington Monument to the Eiffel Tower and even a statue of Mickey Mouse. Join the New Museum in creating our own monuments and explore ideas of monumentality as seen in the New Museum Triennial “The Ungovernables,” paying special attention to Adrián Villar Rojas’s decomposing structures, Danh Võ’s reconstruction of the Statue of Liberty, and Julia Dault’s abstractions.
