Uploaded by art21org on Sep 2, 2008
Episode #023: Mark Dion with "Herbarium Perrine (Marine Algae)" (2006) at his Pennsylvania home and studio.
Mark Dion's work examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world. Appropriating archeological and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects, Dion creates artworks that question the distinctions between "objective" ("rational") scientific methods and subjective,"("irrational") influences.
Mark Dion is featured in the Season 4 (2007) episode Ecology of the Art:21—Art in the Twenty-First Century television series on PBS.

i love mark dions way of re-appropriating scientific taxonomies. saw his work in the natural history museum in london.
i have been looking into the use of herbarium sheets recently, in the lead-up to a project based on the work of john ray.
