ADP- MONUMENT
This monument is outside the art building. It is made out of wood logs and chains put together in an arrangement for asthedic reasons or to create a statement. Technically it is a built sculpture, but it can also serve as a monument if it stays up to commerate the art school forever.
This monument is a part of a larger social context because it serves as a thing to look at, and/or create a statement, but it is a part of the art schools landscape and it commemerates the art school. Social groups apart of the art school and not a part of the art school can look at it as well and recognize it as a piece of art, therefore connecting it to the art school as well.
here's a website that correlates to a monument similar to this one.

This article is about the memorial museum for the Holocaust and how art and sculptures effect the public who views it and how art is a part of commemorating the Holocaust. It is explaining how nonrepresentational art is connected to the task of public commemoration.
