![]() Mark Brest van Kempen, "Free Speech Monument", granite marker before installation, 1991 - 1994 |
|
Mark Brest van Kempen Free Speech Monument, 1991-1994 This project was winner of a national public art competition to commemorate the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley. It uses the political process to create a space free from any outside jurisdiction. A six inch column of land and airspace are legally redefined as not being a part of any nation, state or city therefore no laws are applicable within the small space. A granite ring surrounds the land and bears the inscription: "This soil and the airspace extending above it shall not be a part of any nation and shall not be subject to any entity's jurisdiction." The free space attracts speakers and political events to the site.
