For his Rescue Archaeology piece at the Museum of Modern Art, Dion excavated the construction site surrounding the museum’s extension, and amassed and presented a number of found objects such as pieces of old wallpaper, tiles and keys.

« I identify with the mission of the museum, where you go to gain knowledge through things. Museums are time capsules. »
Mark Dion

The Curiosity Shop is another of Dion’s most notable works; the large-scale mixed media installation features an assortment of his own personal objects, collected over the years from ‘flea markets, yard sales and junk stores’. Of his exploration of existing museum ideologies and the accumulation of objects, Dion has stated that ‘The job of the artist is to go against the grain of dominant culture, to challenge perception and convention’.

What is conceptual art?

Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
