Christopher Myers Rethinks Monuments

New York-based artist Christopher Myers rethinks the symbolism of the traditional man-on-a-horse statue. Using the fictionalized story of two ranchers — one Mexican and one African American — Myers holds up another narrative of the West as a place where people of all races and backgrounds sought to break away from the convention and to re-write history for themselves.
