“For Interpreting Site, artists, writers, architects, and art historians were asked to consider a hermeneutics of place, the body, and the built world. Site interrogates history. Site is a compulsion of the mind at work in the body. To use pre-emptive language here, site as “dispensable structures” has the power to confound. And to unify. The contexts of ritual and peril frame entry into these texts, but also site as it’s taking shape—in the body and in the world. All of the pieces are unequivocally in relation to one another while giving way to marked approaches of grappling with form.” – Sherae Rimpsey, guest editor
