Mark Dion’s artistic activities often take the form of large installations and site-specific commissions. As an interpretative strategy, Dion frequently creates informational texts and illustrations to accompany his projects in small artist’s books that are printed in the format of traditional field guides. This selection gives an overview of Dion’s many areas of activity, as well as his overarching interest in finding avenues between art and science, in this case by blurring the boundaries of artist’s books, technical manuals, and field guides.
