Monumental Sense, 2023

Monumental Sense is a set of instructions commissioned by Monument Lab for the exhibition guide of Pulling Together, the pilot exhibition of the Beyond Granite initiative on the National Mall from August 18-September 18, 2023. The exhibition featured prototype monuments that respond to the central question, “What stories remain untold on the National Mall?” Beyond Granite: Pulling Together built out platforms for artist-led civic engagement, historical interpretation, and storytelling as a means for advancing what it means to imagine, build, live, and grow with monuments in the nation’s capital and beyond. This project, a partnership among the Trust, the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) and the National Park Service (NPS), was funded by the Mellon Foundation’s Monuments Project.
