This is an intervention into the stand of the former monument to V. I. Lenin on the Freedom Square in Banska Bystrica, which now serves as an outdoor gallery. Pedestal of the monument is made of brown-red marble and after the change of the regime, The statue of Leniin was removed from there. After the removal of the statue, a hole remained in the memorial. I decided to make a scrub on the place where the statue was pulled down. The scrab has become for me a metaphore for propagandistic art that is kept in a public space like an injury. The artist becomes only a stupid tool for the regime, used only for marking of teritory of the leading political party. The work itself ends in the background. After the change of political regime, metaphorically it falls off, like scab (People shed their propaganda ritual statue as an act of liberation). Curator Nina Šošková helped me to present antimonument „Scrab“ to public.
