Mark Dion - Toys ‘R’ U.S. ( When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth) 1994
Most of Dion’s collection rooms in fact are making far more grounded statements than their playful appearance indicate. For instance, it is not immediately gathered from the above room that Dion is commenting on the connection between the popularisation of scienceitifc theories and commodification (as explained by Lise Graziose Corrin ‘Survey’).
I am intrigued by Dion’s motives behind his work but I am far moe inspired by his assembling of sourced objects and their reflection of a ‘cabinet of curiosity’.
