MUNDANE MONUMENTS

What is a monument of the mundane? Monuments have an everyday life to them - they are, as architectural historian Andrew Shanken (2022) observes, being “turned on and off” through daily routines. But they are also monuments of the everyday, as when they are self-grown (thank you to Art Historian Mette Haakonsen (2015) for this wonderful term) tributes to subcultures or unofficial memorials for the lost. These forms, blending the ordinary and monumental, are central to my exploration in the project Mundane Monuments.
