What is a monument? What, when and why should a monument be or not be? These questions were asked in 2017 by The 11th Kaunas Biennial There and Not There: (Im)possibility of a Monument, curated by artist and writer Paulina Pukytė. The project opposed the conservative and authoritarian tradition of monuments, its inherent didacticism and demagogy. It stimulated radically new, contemporary, and relevant forms of commemoration by inviting Lithuanian and international artists to look into the complex history of Kaunas (and Lithuania) through its existing and non-existing monuments, as well as possible (and impossible) new monuments. Emphasising the paradoxical in commemoration, (IM)POSSIBILITY OF A MONUMENT is a book and a catalogue that continues to ask these questions and look for answers not only by documenting this successful project (including supporting exhibitions and the Oral Programme), but also by providing the public reaction to some of the site-specific artworks.
