Abstract

Are you trying to explode deeply rooted assumptions about environment or history, or both? An alt-institution public art project might prove useful. Jenny Price argues the efficacy of these projects for environmental-humanities practitioners and uses examples from her own practice and beyond to illustrate what mockstitutions are, how they work, and what they can do.
