In his "12 Ballads for Huguenot House", Theaster Gates chronicles his ambitious project to unite two disused buildings - one in Chicago and the other in Kassel, Germany - by dismantling parts of each to reuse in the rebuilding of the other. Gates envisioned an exchange and ultimately proposed to bring materials from the Chicago building to renovate the Huguenot House. The process will also be reversed: materials from the Huguenot House will later be reused to reconstruct the building in Chicago. In the pages of this book, Gates documents his plans for the exchange, and all of its elaborate and complex sociopolitical and historical detail, in twelve thematic "ballads". With illustrated work notes by the artist.
