dear malgosia,

didn't know whether to reply group-wise or not, as i have mostly
questions. largely and to whit: how do you figure monumentality into
your project? i am working and thinking and working on these subjects
and i can't move away from the drive to create monumemts as both
repositories and signals of a construction of memory in service to
notions of citizenship and democracy.

far from your ideas? dunno, but in some ways, it seems a strong visual
connection (and goes all the way to babel's tower??).

just thinkin...cm
