\u201eRaumschiffe f\u00fcr die Toten\u201c, war Angelika Franz\u2018 Beitrag auf Spiegel-<\/em>Online<\/em> \u00fcber die Spomenik genannten, monumental bizarren Kriegsdenkm\u00e4ler des ehemaligen Jugoslawien betitelt \u2013 seien diese in Beton gegossene Architekturen nach Brutalismo-Manier, kristalline Strukturen aus Metall oder futuristische Gebilde in Augen- und Sonnengestalt. Stars der jugoslawischen Kunst- und Architekturszene durften Spomeniks entwerfen, um geschichtstr\u00e4chtigen, auch ideologisch aufgeladenen Orten des Mahnens ein Gesicht zu geben. In der N\u00e4he der serbischen Stadt Ni\u0161 erinnern drei emporragende Betonf\u00e4uste an die im Konzentrationslager Crveni Krst ums Leben Gekommenen.<\/p>\n

Los Carpinteros, namentlich die aus Kuba stammenden, im Duett arbeitenden Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes und Dagoberto Rodr\u00edguez S\u00e1nchez, haben dieses Denkmal in einem gro\u00dfformatigen, aquarellierten Triptychon zu einer Art modularen, aus Lego-Steinen zusammengesetzten Architektur transformiert. Die auf eine lange Verweildauer angelegte Materialit\u00e4t des Betons ist \u00fcberf\u00fchrt in einen Zustand eines tempor\u00e4ren Gef\u00fcges, als k\u00f6nnten je nach Bedarf oder ideologischer Anforderung aus diesen Steinen neue Erinnerungsst\u00e4tten kreiert werden. Das mittlere Bildfeld, im Triptychon \u00fcblicherweise reserviert f\u00fcr die Kernerz\u00e4hlung, ist leer gestellt und deutet die Br\u00fcchigkeit der Rezeption solcher Denkm\u00e4ler in heutiger, politisch liberalerer Zeit an. Los Carpinteros\u2018 Skulpturen und Interventionen im \u00f6ffentlichen Raum gelten als Ikonen von souver\u00e4ner, suggestiver und bisweilen erz\u00e4hlerisch heiterer Kraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpaceships for the Dead\u201d was the title of Angelika Franz\u2019 article in Spiegel-Online<\/em> about the spomenici: monumental, bizarre war monuments in the former Yugoslavia \u2013 whether architectural ensembles cast in concrete in the manner of brutalism, crystalline structures made of metal, or futuristic shapes resembling eyes or the sun. Stars of the Yugoslavian art and architecture scene were commissioned to design these monuments in order to give expression to historically resonant
\nand ideologically charged sites of admonishment. Near the Serbian city of Ni\u0161, three upraised concrete fists recall the prisoners who lost their lives at the concentration camp Crveni Krst.<\/p>\n

Los Carpinteros, namely the pair of collaborating Cuban artists Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes and Dagoberto Rodr\u00edguez S\u00e1nchez, transformed this monument in a large-format, watercolored triptych into a sort of modular architecture composed of Lego pieces. The materiality of concrete, with its implication of long duration, is transferred to the state of a temporary structure, as if new commemorative sites could be created out of these pieces according to momentary need or ideological requirement. The middle pictorial field, normally reserved in a triptych for the core narrative, is empty and points toward
\nthe fragmentariness that characterizes the reception of such monuments in today\u2019s politically more liberal era. Los Carpinteros\u2019 sculptures and interventions in public spaces are considered to be icons of masterful, evocative, and sometimes narratively cheerful energy.<\/p>\n
