Performances Patterns and Athletic Migration during the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games
Mark Dion examine les manières dont les idéologies dominantes et les institutions publiques façonnent notre compréhension de l’histoire, du savoir et du monde naturel. Par l’appropriation des méthodes archéologiques et scientifiques, telle que la collecte, le classement, et l’exposition des objets, l’artiste crée des œuvresqui interrogent les distinctions entre les méthodes scientifiques objectives et les influences subjectives.
Mark Dion examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge, and the natural world. Appropriating archaeological and other scientific methods of collecting, ordering, and exhibiting objects, the artist creates works that address distinctions between objective scientific methods and subjective influences. By locating the roots of environmental politics and public policy in the construction of knowledge about nature, Dion questions the authoritative role of the scientific voice in contemporary society.
