Mark Dion Bibliography


Mark Dion Bibliography

Kwon M, Bryson N, Corrin L G. Mark Dion. London: Phaidon, 1997.
This book was quite relevant as it contains plenty of information on the artist. The front cover includes a short biography on Dion and the final pages at the back include exhibitions and projects he worked on until 1997. However as the book was published at this time it does not include his more recent artworks which I had to seek information on elsewhere. The book includes an interview with the artist, which includes information on the start of his career and life as an artist. Writings from the artist himself are also present which gives a direct insight into thinking and works. A chapter of the book also focused on an artwork I was looking into which also proved to be quite helpful.

Coles A, Fontana E, Williams R, Cotton J, and Renfrew C. Mark Dion: Archaeology. London: Black Dog Publishing, 1999.
This book looks into the ‘digs’ undertaken by Dion, including the Tate Thames Dig which I had chosen to research. The book includes several images of the work being carried out which help convey the process of the dig. At least half of the book being dedicated to the work, how it was carried out and what came of it, which was more than enough information to interpret.

This journal article provided me with an insight into the mind of Mark Dion. The excerpt is direct conversation from the artist, who discusses his style and way of working. He speaks of how the results and contents of his work are often dependent on the site he is working from, and other factors including the budget of the project and the skill level of the team of people assisting him. He also expresses how he likes to include information on the subjects of his works, knowing that while being surrounded and taking in the actual installation works, he also cares deeply of the printed materials he produces.
