Editor Disclosure[edit]

I wanted to take a moment to reiterate the disclosure on my user page: "This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Slought Foundation on behalf of Monument Lab for their contributions to Wikipedia. "

I have made extensive efforts to independently verify all claims and facts presented, and to remain neutral. Part of the hope of this article is to provide information about all the affiliated artworks, for who's artists there are not always wikipedia pages already in existence. In cases where pages do exist, they have been linked within this article rather than adding editing the artwork information into each (and thus creating a large number of formatting changes to those articles).

Would greatly appreciate any independent edits. Yannickjan (talk) 01:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am a student working on the Monument Lab page. Here is my sandbox link if you would like to see what I am working on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Artylearner/sandbox . I plan to post the changes tomorrow except for the last paragraph which could really use some extra feedback. I welcome all your feedback. In the main article, I have formatted and expanded the text in an attempt to make the information more clear and the artists more prominent. Do you think the following section belongs in this article? Please let me know what you think. I am planning to hold off publishing this section until I get some feedback. (Please see my sandbox as the references are not showing up here.) Thanks.

Links to people and similar art movements

Kirk Savage is on Monument Lab’s advisory board and is a professor at the University of Pittsburg who writes about public monuments, their history, and how they intertwine with race and social justice. Savage’s ideas about the unfixed nature of a monument’s meaning through time is referenced by Ronald Rudin in the Journal Acadiensis. (p.116) Rudin writes about a similar project to Monument Lab in Canada called, “Lost Stories” which received funding from the Canadian government’s 150 fund in 2016. Stories of Canadian people in four different regions of Canada were told by artists through the creation of public art. The creation process was filmed by chosen filmmakers.
