 * Response to Counter-Monuments Article:**

I thought the article was interesting. I feel that the Counter Monuments in modern times are a very new a great type of monuments. Even though the traditional monuments that portray someone heroic in a way that they seem so big that we could never imagine ourselves to be someone like them. But the new counter monuments such as the Vietnam War Memorial by Maya Lin is something that is part of the earth and something that we can get up close and see for ourselves. The counter monuments bring the "viewer" and the monument together where as the traditional monuments were something that the "viewer" would stand a few feet and admired it. Also the idea of the monuments being quiet instead of so loud is something that I really enjoyed.


 * Monuments:**

Public Art but it could be a monument?

Swedish-born conceptual artist Claes Oldenburg began proposing large-scale sculptures of everyday objects in the 1960s in the spirit of Andy Warhol’s tongue-in-cheek pop art tributes to American consumer culture. Amidst nationwide free speech and antiwar protests, a group of Yale School of Architecture students and faculty, dubbing themselves the Colossal Keepsake Corporation of Connecticut, envisioned the creation of one of these monuments on campus as a revolutionary aesthetic and political statement. A rally celebrated the //Lipstick//’s first installation on Beinecke Plaza in 1969, where its aggressive presence disrupted the public space. Intended as a platform for public speakers, the sculpture was made of inexpensive materials: plywood tracks and a red vinyl balloon tip, meant to be inflated for visibility. Vandalism and deterioration led to the work’s removal; it was ultimately refurbished in cor-ten steel, aluminum, and fiberglass and installed at Morse College in 1974.
