Show the answer
- Sculpture is a monument that marks a place and has a function there
- The monument's function is lost and the work becomes autonomous

- Practices arrive that the category cannot contain at all
Why
Each step removes something the category had been relying on, and the last one is not another removal, it is the arrival of practices that were never inside it. That distinction is what the expanded field was written to make.
