Ten Huts

This book features site-specific art installations that create structures and performance spaces from cast-off objects.

Jill Sigman, an artist known for prodigious imagination and intelligence, explores the intersection of dance, visual art, and social practice. Ten Huts documents a series of site-specific huts hand-built from found materials, ranging from mundane to bizarre, in diverse landscapes. Each hut serves as a structure, sculpture, and emergency preparedness kit, raising questions about sustainability, shelter, real estate, and our future. The book includes an artist essay by Sigman, 499 illustrations, essays about The Hut Project by Thomas Hylland Eriksen, André Lepecki, Matthew McLendon, Elise Springer, and Eva Yaa Asantewaa, and a foreword by Pamela Tatge.
