'Es gibt nur einen Čornobóh (There is only one black god)'

The impressive Karl Marx Monument illustrates very well Karl Marx as a counterpart to any politically right-wing or reactionary role model. The black appearance of the monument in the photo is the analogy to the black god in autochthonous Sorbian mythology. There is only one God who can stand up against the tendency to erase Sorbian history in the original settlement area. In my opinion, the bust of Karl Marx by Lev Kerbel is the optimal representation of a black god.

'Oh Czorneboh, du schwarzer Gott'

This is a mass demonstration/worship paying servile obeisance to the Black God.

'And now I wanna be your God'

I took the lyrics of 'I wanna be your dog' by Iggy Pop and changed 'Dog' to 'God'.

Further I added the word 'granite' to 'sand' to complete the line to: "And Lose My Heart On The Granite Sand".

Granite is an intrusive rock - the main geologic material in Upper Lusatia and the material of the mountain Czorneboh.

Genau 30 Jahre nach dem ersten Teil der Reihe "Monumente Sollen Stehen Oder Nichts" - welche den Umgang der Stadt Bautzen mit Wieland Försters 'Ernst Thälmann Denkmal' künstlerisch thematisierte - wird es Zeit für eine Fortsetzung.

Im Jahr 2021 geht es um das 1904 auf dem Czorneboh errichtete - und 1950 zerstörte - Bismarck-Denkmal von Anton Schwarz.

Der Hauptausschuss des Bautzener Stadtrates hatte vor kurzem ohne Gegenstimme und mit nur zwei Enthaltungen beschlossen, dass der AfD-nahe Verein Bautzener Liedertafel das Denkmal wieder aufbauen - und der Stadt schenken darf.

'Von Thälmann zu Bismarck 1991 — 2021'. Dieser Untertitel visualisiert wie sich die Stadt Bautzen innerhalb von dreißig Jahren kulturpolitisch zurück entwickelt hat.

Exactly 30 years after the first part of the series "Monuments Should Stay Or Nothing" - which artistically addressed the city of Bautzen's handling of Wieland Förster's 'Ernst Thälmann Monument' - it is time for a sequel.

In 2021 it's about the Bismarck monument by Anton Schwarz, which was erected on the Czorneboh in 1904 - and destroyed in 1950.

The main committee of the Bautzen city council recently decided without a dissenting vote and with only two abstentions that the AfD-affiliated Bautzener Liedertafel association could rebuild the monument - and donate it to the city.

'From Thälmann to Bismarck 1991 - 2021'. This subtitle visualizes how the city of Bautzen has developed backwards in terms of cultural policy within thirty years.
