  • Mark Dion

The exhibition is curated by Michel Ritter

With the first access, the work of Mark Dion is connected with the concerns of natural science and their mode of presentation, rather than with those of art in the traditional sense of the term. He uses the natural sciences and their functions – filing the specimens, classification, conservation and collection – like ready made.

In this exhibition project, Mark Dion highlights – by using scientific methods which we think we know, but forget continuously – all life and memory hidden in so little ground, so close to us: One meter of land, excavation of a discharge.

This exhibition was made possible thanks to the collaboration of Nikon, the Institute of Zoology of the University of Fribourg, Mr. Dessonaz, archivist of the City, Beni Bapst, Jean-Claude Curty & Fils and Roland Dumont, Adrien Laubscher, John Sargeant, Emmanuel Leiggener.
