Site visit acquisitions:

Site does not need an actual 'monument' per se... ie Berlin Wall. The wall is no longer there, and there is no physical element from it standing in its place, yet it is still immortalized or preserved in books, films and photographs. The memory of it is powerful enough, and once it begins to outgrow the times, it will evolve and obtain a new meaning and definition for itself.
More to follow tomorrow.

CHECK OUT "DANCING IN THE LANDSCAPE: SCULPTURE BY ATHENA TACHA."
maybe itll spark some inspiration.
