A comprehensive survey of American artist Mark Dion, examining three decades of his
critically engaged practice interrogating our relationship with nature The first book
in two decades to consider the entire oeuvre of Mark Dion (b. 1961), this volume examines
thirty years of the American artist's pioneering inquiries into how we collect, interpret,
and display nature. Part of a generation of artists expanding institutional critique
in the 1990s, Dion adopted the methods of the archaeologist or the natural history
museum, juxtaposing natural objects, taxidermy, books, and more to reorganize the
natural and the manmade in poetic, witty ways. These sculptures, installations, and
interventions offer novel approaches to questioning institutional power, which he
sees as connected to the control and representation of nature. Generously illustrated,
this publication introduces new insights and features more than seventy-five artworks
