Summary

"In the summer of 2000, the University of Virginia Art Museum mounted an unusual site-specific exhibition called "Hindsight/Fore-site: Art for the New Millennium," for which twenty-four artists created art-works inspired by Thomas Jefferson's legacy. The projects were conceptually ambitous and visually compelling, yet most were ephemeral, making the eighty illustrations and accompanying essays in Siting Jefferson a particularly valuable documentation of a largely unreplicable exhibition."--Jacket.
