Mark Dion: Concerning Hunting
Ostfildern-Ruit, Germany Hatje Cantz 2008 3775721975 / 9783775721974 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Exhibition Catalogue
163 pp., chiefly col. illus., bib. notes; 25 cm. Text in English and German. Published in conjunction with the traveling exhibition Mark Dion: Concerning Hunting, held at Kunstraum Dornbirn, April 3 - June 1, 2008, and other venues. Firm binding, clean inside copy. "For over twenty years, the repertoire of American artist Mark Dion (born 1961 in New Bedford, Massachusetts) has included staged workbenches, dusty storage vaults, stuffed bears, and tarred birds. Ostensibly, his installations, interventions, performances, and photographs critique humankind's often cruel treatment of nature. However, the artist also demonstrates that 'nature' is a mere construct that is constantly being reshaped and reinterpreted. Dion's current project, Concerning Hunting, examines hunting as a traditional, but controversial, cultural practice. One of the fascinating things about hunting is its fundamental contradictoriness: the sensitivity of the hunter and his profound knowledge about what nature requires are also expressed through the act of killing animals. Dion's artistic examinations do not focus on nature as such, but rather on the hunt as a way culture deals with it." - Publisher.
