Artnews Utopian visions in the Bronx Thomas Hirschhorn’s monument to communist thinker Antonio Gramsci brings art to new audience This tribute to the Italian communist philosopher Antonio Gramsci takes the form of an outdoor pavilion that has been constructed by the artist and a team of around 15 local residents, using everyday materials that will be raffled off locally when the project ends on 15 September. Events include lectures, poetry readings, a newspaper, a radio show and happy hour at the bar. “On its own, it’s an institution,” Vergne says of the monument. “It only lasts three months, but within that time, it will do everything that an institution does.” theartnewspaper/articles/Utopian-visions-in-the-Bronx/29999
