    Cabinet of Marine Debris

    Mark Dion
    Mixed media
    New York


    Mark is known for his use of scientific presentations in his installations. By appropriating archaeological and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering and exhibiting objects, Mark creates works that go against the grain of dominant culture and question the distinctions between objective (rational) scientific methods and subjective (irrational) influences.
