Cameron Visiting Artist Mark Dion: Misadventures of a 21st-Century Naturalist

4:30 PM ET

Sponsored by:: Museum of Art, Studio Art, and History of Arts and Architecture

Known best for his elaborate installations and fantastical curiosity cabinets, which often merge surprisingly disparate objects classified and arranged as so many incarnations of rare species, Mark Dion’s art questions distinctions between “objective” (“rational”) methods and “subjective” (“irrational”) influences. He returns to campus on the occasion of the Museum exhibition of prints created by the Cameron Family Arts Enrichment Fund and students in Hedya Klein’s Silkscreen and Intaglio classes.
