Submission theme

For Post road 25 theme, Jan reymond's 2005 sculpture is being used.
In NYer and at
Book patrol and at BBB

The call called it a sculpture.

My questions and thoughts:
It is a stacked, installation, non-mobile (stabile from wiki) art. Why the did the author chose 3D. He could have painted the scene. His material - stones of architecture, open to the influence of air and water will disintegrate over time. Imagine how they will be over time. Half of the passageway fallen, books thrown on to the ground far and away some with pages flipped open, others rotting into the ground. If the books are all here whats in the library? Where are the intended readers? It is a real sculpture not a copy of the original like how people statues are. But it is not unique. It is reproducible. The scale of the sculpture might give something about the sculpture.
