Join Next City for the first of two virtual conversations in our series, “The Future of Monumentality,” as we examine the past, present, and future of public monuments from the unique intersection of art, design, and urbanism. The speaker series, moderated by New York Times critic Salamishah Tillet, is co-presented in partnership with the High Line.
In 2020 communities around the world protested the institutional racism of police violence toward Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people the same people who have experienced disproportionately devastating health effects and economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the most powerful symbols engaged by these protests has been the removal and defacing of monuments, as well as their use as focal points and backdrops for rallies, speeches, performances, and collections of protest signs. And as the disturbing insurrection in Washington, D.C., has shown, white supremacists continue to wield and deface monuments

.- Body/Magic: Liz Cohen presents all aspects of Phoenix-based artist Liz Cohens well-known Bodywork series for the first time. The exhibition at ASU Art Museum offers new and never-before-seen video, photographs, performance and ephemera related to this tour-de-force project.
For the original Bodywork series, Cohen merged two cars, the American El Camino and the East German Trabant, into one customized lowrider. Simultaneously, she transformed her own body to become a bikini model for her car, which she presented at lowrider shows in and around Phoenix, Arizona. In the car show, there are really three kinds of people, said the artist. There are the car owners, the car builders and the models that represent the cars. I want to be all three.

Trumpocalypse Billboard
Several designs by California artist Karen Fiorito have graced a Grand Avenue billboard during the past four years, including a controversial piece called
Trumpocalypse. Her latest design will be replaced in late January by a billboard set to include the text “Black History Matters.” It’s part of a Black History Month project being organized by Gizette Knight, whose plan to install a Black Lives Matter street mural in downtown Phoenix last year did not garner City Council approval.
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art recently received a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
