“The Stonehenge proposal got a lot of interesting criticism. One of the best - or worst - said something like, "Go home to Las Vegas." I think this project could possibly be realized at a very late part of my career. Right now, I don't have the authority, the budget, the credibility.” ThinkingSaidHomeInterestingCareersWorstRight NowAuthorityProjectsLateCriticismBudgetsCredibilityProposalVegasLas VegasStonehenge Author:Aleksandra Mir
“I'm completely uninterested in the origins of Stonehenge. I don't care about the real story behind it or whether it should be saved or not. What I'm interested in is this: in the Victorian era, you could go there as an early cultural tourist and you were given a chisel to chip off a bit of the stones and take it with you. That's what you did in Victorian times.” ShouldRealStoriesCareGivenBitsBehindsStonesDon't CareSavedErasI Don't CareChipsTouristsVictorianVictorian EraChiselsReal StoryUninterestedStonehengeVictorian Times Author:Aleksandra Mir
“Stonehenge had an aura but it was also just stone. Then in the sixties, it became a great hedonistic, hippie, druid, rock-n-roll party site. There are amazing pictures of people up on the stones going wild and that's the image I recreated for my model of the project: full access to everyone. I even invented a Stonehenge soccer team that uses spaces between the stones as goals.” PeopleUseGoalSpacePartyTeamRocksProjectsModelsStonesAccessSoccerRock N RollSixtySiteHippieAurasSpace BetweenDruidsHedonisticSoccer TeamStonehenge Author:Aleksandra Mir
