Product DescriptionIn the summer of 2000, the University of Virginia Art Museum mounted an unusual sitespecific exhibition called 'Hindsight/Foresite: Art for the New Millennium,' for which twentyfour artists created artworks inspired by Thomas Jeffersons legacy. Artists included Agnes Denes, Ann Hamilton, Martha JacksonJarvis, Michael Mercil, the Monacan Indian Council, Todd Murphy, Dennis Oppenheim, Lincoln Perry, and Lucio Pozzi; among the sites featured were Montpelier, Ash LawnHighland, the Monticello Visitors Center, area parks and schools, and the University of Virginia. Charlottesville, longtime home of Jefferson and site of the university he founded, served as an ideal location for the exhibition.New essays by the art historian and curator John Beardsley and the exhibitions curator, Lyn Bolen Rushton, explore the arthistorical significance of the exhibition and the works connection to Jeffersons life complemented by essays of noted Jefferson scholars, illuminating arenas of particular concern to the artists. The historian Peter S. Onuf writes on slavery and Sally Hemings, University of Virginias president John T. Casteen III considers education and democracy, and the Monticello senior historian Lucia Stanton examines agrarian theory and practice.The projects in 'Hindsight/Foresite' were conceptually ambitious and visually compelling, yet most were ephemeral, making the eighty illustrations and accompanying essays in Siting Jefferson a particularly valuable documentation of a remarkable and largely unreplicable exhibition.About the AuthorJill Hartz, Director of the University of Virginia Art Museum, is the editor of Agnes Denes, a monograph produced in conjunction with a major retrospective exhibition of the artists work.
