Inspiring Words: Wall Texts

From "The Wrong Words," by Tom Morton, Frieze magazine (June-Aug 09):

"In theory at least, wall texts are a powerful method of communication.... spaces where words can enrich the experience of art, and, to this end, could potentially call upon everything language is capable of. Might we imagine a wall text that could make us laugh, or cry, or one so elegant or intellectually surprising that we would recall it, unbidden, months later, in the bath or on the bus?"

Totally agree. As someone who has struggled over 50 to 75 word labels, it is a type of poetry to write inspiring and educational labels.
