Artist Rebecca Keller started making site-specific interventions in an anatomy theatre in Estonia in 2006. The project has since become a course, a collective, and a series of artist exhibitions in historic sites in the United States and Europe. This full-color book shares the stories of these exhibitions, student reflections, and essays from scholars with concerns in historic preservation and artistic interventions on historic sites. Keller carefully weaves together the context and motivation for these interventions, and offers suggestions for how to replicate her work in classroom-museums around the world. This project is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and by funding from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Historic Preservation in Indiana: Essays from the Field
<p>Over the last half century, historic preservation has been on the rise in American cities and towns, from urban renewal and gentrification projects to painstaking restoration of Victorian homes and architectural landmarks. In this book, Nancy R. Hiller brings together individuals with distinctive styles and perspectives, to talk about their passion for preservation. They consider the meaning of place and what motivates those who work to save and care for places&#x3b; the role of place in the formation of identity&#x3b; the roles of individuals and organizations in preserving homes, neighborhoods, and towns&#x3b; and the spiritual as well as economic benefits of preservation. Richly illustrated, <i>Historic Preservation in Indiana</i> is an essential book for everyone who cares about preserving the past for future generations.</p>
