You must contact the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State
University! Their museum education department deals with site-specific
installations all the time, including those by artists such as Terry Allen,
Maya Lin, Hachivi Edgar Heap of Birds and other contemporary artists.
Patricia Trumps is the Museum Education coordinator and could offer you
suggestions.
Good luck.
