TEN HUTS by Jill Sigman (2017)
Published by Wesleyan University Press, Ten Huts documents Sigman’s expansive choreographic project collecting cast off materials, building site-specific structures in different parts of the world, and using them as gathering spaces for performance, community dialogue, tea serving, and discussions about waste, real estate, and the future of the planet. From the Norwegian Arctic to The Ringling Museum in Sarasota to the basement of the former Greenpoint Hospital, Sigman embraced trash as a way of connecting with people, choreographing with materials, understanding communities, and highlighting the significant challenges we face to ecology and environmental justice. The full color book includes 499 illustrations, an artist essay, theoretical reflections on the project by Eva Yaa Asantewaa, Andre Lepecki, Elise Springer, Matthew McLendon, and Thomas Hylland Eriksen, and a Foreward by Pamela Tatge, Director of Jacob’s Pillow Dance.
