The Public Bench, Coventry 2004
|
Jochen Gerz is an artist whose public commissions deal with issues of memory, visibility and collaboration with the public. Since the 1980s, he has created a number of anti-monuments in Germany, France, England and Ireland, subverting the idea of commemoration, involving the public and media in the process of creating and defining artwork.
