Notes
Mark Dion gained an international reputation in the 1980s for his large, site-specific installations filled with materials he gathers, categorizes, and displays with the care of an archeologist or anthropologist. He plans his projects with detailed drawings. Although unrealized, "Tide Pile" relates to a group of works in which complex habitats are preserved for view in large cases or vitrines.
