Monuments (exhibition)

Monuments (stylized in all caps) is an art exhibition organized by the nonprofit gallery The Brick and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2025, on view concurrently at both venues as of March 2026. The exhibition explores the removal of Confederate monuments and memorials in the United States, as well as the impact of monuments on American life.

First proposed by Hamza Walker, the director of The Brick (formerly known as LAXART), the exhibition includes several decommissioned or altered Confederate monuments and memorials and other removed sculptures of white supremacist and racist figures from across the United States, presented alongside newly commissioned works responding to the monuments and recent works by other contemporary artists. The curators borrowed or purchased decommissioned monuments from a range of municipalities and organizations, many of which were removed in the late 2010s and early 2020s.

The show received broad critical acclaim, several writers hailing it as the most important art exhibition of the year.
