In convening a diverse collective of voices around the question of the monument's future, editors José Esparza Chong Cuy and Guillermo Ruiz de Teresa probe the unstable narratives behind a selection of monuments, memorials, and public sculptures in Mexico City, and propose a new charter that informs future public art commissions in Mexico and beyond. At a moment when many such structures have become highly visible sites of protest throughout the world, this new compilation of essays, interviews, artistic contributions, and public policy proposals reveals and reframes the histories embedded within contested public spaces in Mexico. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmpty Plinths\u003c\/i\u003e is published alongside a series of artist commissions organized together with several major cultural institutions in Mexico City, including the Museo Tamayo, the Museo de Arte Moderno, and the Museo Experimental el Eco.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e José Esparza Chong Cuy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674278577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674278578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Graduate School of Design\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"José Esparza Chong Cuy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435637059839,"sku":"9780674278578","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f773d7d9-d382-4133-89ec-bb956197585c.jpg?v=1777151691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empty-plinths-joszs-esparza-chong-cuy-9780674278578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
