Artist Liane Lang went on a hunt to find the women who have been remembered with statues in public spaces across Europe. The rulers and writers, revolutionaries and scientists, nurses and nuns. Unreliable estimates put the number of women at between and 2% of total statues. The search took her to town squares and suburban parks, finding often well hidden busts from different eras and of varying artistic quality. The artist’s journey engaged not only with the women who have statues but with the idea of the personal monument, the figure as an object of memory and the fragility of objects and legacies.
Lang recorded every statue she found, staged interventions for large scale photographs and made prints on stone, bronze and wood. The project invites the viewer to take a closer look at these often overlooked objects and to consider their ambitions and their failures.
Robert Musil famously said that public monuments have the ability to become invisible, despite their often extravagant efforts to be unmissable. They manage to embody both the desire for eternal glory and the ultimate fate of most to be cast into oblivion and forgotten entirely.
