Ecological Taxonomy

Mark Dion is an American artist associated with Institutional critique; ecological art. Across Installation; sculpture, the work investigates museum taxonomies, natural-history display and fieldwork methods used to question how institutions organize knowledge about nature. Meaning develops through the relationship between process, display and lived cultural experience rather than through a single signature motif.
