He has created a body of work that playfully presents art as scientific enquiry or field work, questioning how knowledge is gathered, classified and displayed. Five installations will be displayed at Whitechapel Gallery, incorporating diverse subjects such as hunting blinds, heraldic banners and an extraordinary array of objects drawn from the mudbanks of the Thames, Manchester flea markets and American curiosity shops. The show will also include a brand new commission comprising of a library-cum-aviary, complete with 22 live finches. Beautifully designed with allusions to Victorian tomes, guidebooks and Dion's own artistic style, the catalogue also features new essays by Gilda Williams and Petra Lange-Berndt, an interview between the artist and Iwona Blazwick and an anthology of writings selected by Dion himself. 520 8 $a "The American artist Mark Dion (b. 1961) makes enthralling installations of flora and fauna and of the material cultures of science and display. They echo Renaissance cabinets of curiosity, nineteenth century dioramas and, with their unsettling inclusion of everyday detritus, the absurdist displays of the Surrealists. Yet they are urgently contemporary, foregrounding the complex and increasingly hazardous relation of humanity with other species and ecosystems. This fully-illustrated book spans over 30 years of work through six environments. Each encompasses sculpture, drawing, print and photography and is also the stage for an absent protagonist. Marion Endt-Jones, Ben Luke, Chelsea Kinchin-Smith, Magnus af Petersens, Candy Stobbs and Gilda Williams unravel the clues, historical narratives and contemporary symbolism imbedded in each work, alongside a conversation between Iwona Blazwick and Mark Dion, an overview of his practice by Petra Lange-Berndt and a beautiful short story by Andrea Barrett." $c --publisher's description, lower cover. 546 $a Text in English. 600 10 $a Dion, Mark, $d 1961- $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Dion, Mark, $d 1961- $v Interviews. 600 10 $a Dion, Mark, $d 1961- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Dion, Mark, $d 1961- $x Themes, motives. 600 17 $a Dion, Mark, $d 1961- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00416113 650 0 $a Art and science $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art and science $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Conceptual art $z United States $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Conceptual art $z United States $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Installations (Art) $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Art, Modern $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 600 14 $a Dion, Mark, $d 1961- 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Interviews. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 710 2 $a Whitechapel Art Gallery, $e host institution. $e issuing body, $e host institution. $4 his 752 $a United Kingdom $b England $d London. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024108.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=86A45328840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
