About The Work
This is one of Mark Dion’s banner designs that make up the Hunting Standards print portfolio. In that project, the artist addresses “hunting as a cultural practice that is rich in traditions, passionately pursued, and highly controversial.” Dion's major concern is with the power of knowledge in a field like hunting, where expertise means the assured destruction of life. The cartoon-like aesthetic of this banner, a silk screen print from an edition of 15, adds a compelling visual twist to Dion’s invocation of the 19th-century cabinet-of-curiosities.
