This is a fascinating look at the innovative and daring in situ
work "He Called Her Amber" by Iris Haussler. In 2007 Iris Haussler
created a work for the inauguration of the newly transformed Art
Gallery of Ontario: an in situ piece entitled He Named Her Amber
located in The Grange, a 19th century mansion now part of the
Gallery. Haussler presented a complex narrative around a young
Irish woman who had been hired as a maid at the Grange in 1828.
Mysteriously bequeathed papers revealed that O'Shea had hidden
documents and objects in and around the house. Subsequently,
Archaeological Services Ontario (ASO) found a veritable Pandora's
box of items. Only after the event did the artist and the Gallery
reveal to the world that He Named Her Amber was a commissioned work
of art and not an historical find. Thematically structured around
Narrative, Disclosure and Analysis, volume documents a daring
public artwork with essays and comments from artist, curator,
critics, and from visitors with sharply divided views.
