a/political presented GOVERNMENT DOWN by Andrei Molodkin at Barletta Castle, an historic military defence site on the Adriatic Sea. Made from black steel, measuring 20m x 3m and weighing 12 tonnes, the monumental public sculpture and exhibition opened on Liberation Day, 25 April 2018. This day in Italy recognises the anti-fascist resistance, the end to Mussolini’s rule and Nazi Occupation.
With GOVERNMENT DOWN in a state of destruction, Francis Fukuyama’s theory of "the end of history" becomes obsolete. Our socio-political project is exposed as fragile, broken and in-flux; contemporary culture is already in ruins.
