The National Mall is a place of imposing monuments. It is the fleeting sort of monuments that inspired “Beyond Granite: Pulling Together,” an installation of six artists’ works on the Mall. The project will be on view from Aug. 18 to Sept. 18.
It is the fleeting sort of monument that inspired “Beyond Granite: Pulling Together,” an installation of six artists’ works on the Mall. Organized by the Trust for the National Mall, the project will be on view from Aug. 18 to Sept. 18.
“This was an opportunity to think about artists from a variety of practices, a variety of backgrounds,” Farber says, “who would answer the question that is at the center of this project — what stories remain untold on the National Mall? — in distinct but complementary ways.”In choosing sites for the installations, the curators had to follow National Park Service guidelines and yield to practical considerations.
“The ridges of the thumbprint are red, and in between the ridges it’s clear, and within the ridges are all the names of the different chiefs who signed those treaties between 1825 and 1880,”Chung’s “For the Living” is a world map of the routes taken by refugees from Southeast Asia in the 1970s. It purposefully lacks national boundaries, the Vietnam-born artist notes.
Adams’s “America’s Playground: DC” is an interactive piece that features at its center a large reproduction of a photograph of one of the first desegregated play areas in D.C. To Adams, playgrounds are inherently political. The assemblage, German says, embodies “that sense of fight and spirit and love and just grit that makes you want to keep going.”Of all the artists, German was the least impressed by her initial experience of the Mall. “Very cold,” she recalls. “A lot about war and men.”
