Webdossier: Beeldenstorm
In de afgelopen tijd is er, onder invloed van de gruwelijke moord op George Floyd door de politie van Minneapolis, een ware beeldenstorm ontstaan op standbeelden en monumenten in de openbare ruimte die de gewelddadige geschiedenis van slavernij, kolonisatie en racisme representeren. Overal ter wereld worden beelden door demonstranten (waaronder die van Black Lives Matter) omver getrokken, vernield of beklad. Het is de hoogste tijd om niet alleen de rol van monumenten in de openbare ruimte te heroverwegen, maar ook om na te denken over de toekomst.
Over the last few weeks, spurred on by the horrific killing of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police, public statues and monuments representing the violent histories of slavery, colonization, and racism have been defaced, toppled, and disassembled through the direct actions of global (including many Black Lives Matter) protestors. It is high time to not only reconsider the role of monuments in public space, but also to think about the future.
Stroom begon deze discussie in 2007 met het programma nu monument* (een onderzoek naar de (on)mogelijkheid van een hedendaags monument). We zetten het gesprek nu voort met dit nieuwe webdossier om je te helpen je verder in deze belangrijke materie te verdiepen.

Beeldenstorm tegen ‘foute' historische figurenby: Floris van Straaten
Mister Motley
Onteren en schaamte moeten op de menukaart van de herdenkingspraktijk worden gezet
In het debat over racistische standbeelden wordt vaak het countermonument, of tegenmonument, voorgedragen als oplossing, een alternatief voor het klassieke iconoclasme.

Statues are lies, selfies in bronze - and you can't bring history to life with a dead art
by: Jonathan Jones
Why are we obsessed with putting up statues of new heroes to replace old villains like Edward Colston? Reducing history to celebrity culture won't help anyone understand the full scale and horror of slavery.

Decoding Dictatorial Statues / author Ted Hyunhak Yoon ; editor Bernke Klein Zandvoort. - Eindhoven : Onomatopee, 2019. - 284 p. : ills. ; 24 cm
Includes biographies.
Decoding Dictatorial Statues, a project by Korean graphic design researcher Ted Hyunhak Yoon, is a collection of images and texts revolving around the different ways we can look at statues in public space. Ted Hyunhak Yoon's visual analysis centers around the term ‘visual design journalism' and attempts to find rules and phenomena which exist within, and lay behind, dictatorial statues. Sparked by a database of images that when organized becomes a tool for decoding, the publication Decoding Dictatorial Statues offers a real time analysis, an empirical understanding and data for reflection on gestural politics. While the work forefronts the actual status of statues, the various texts, collected by writer Bernke Klein Zandvoort, revolve around the different ways we can look at statues in public space. How can we decode statues and their visual languages, their object hood and materiality, their role as media icons and their voice in political debates?

'Toppled' is based on a large collection of images from the internet of the toppled satues of Saddam Hussein, collected by Florian Göttke. A close reading of the images reveals an astonishing amount of information about what happened in Iraq. It becomes apparent that even in our modern image culture, the ancient magical link between the person (Saddam) and his representation (statue) is still alive in the human psyche.
