Mark Dion - fans?, by tmccarthy41 on Feb 19, 2016 22:23:36 GMT 1, I just picked up the "Hunting Standards" portfolio of 4 prints on felt by the artist, Mark Dion. Awesome set of prints that looks incredible when hung as a group..
He's mainly an installation artist definitely worth checking out for those of you that aren't aware of his work...
my set (of which I just opened...)

And the celebration of killing innocent animals and guns is enjoyable?

Mark Dion - fans?, by tmccarthy41 on Feb 19, 2016 23:30:35 GMT 1, "This is one of Mark Dionโs banner designs that make up the Hunting Standards print portfolio. In that project, the artist addresses โhunting as a cultural practice that is rich in traditions, passionately pursued, and highly controversial.โ 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 Dionโs invocation of the 19th-century cabinet-of-curiosities."

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm still unclear as to whether the art work is in support of, condemning, or ambivalent towards the morality of blood sports.

Mark Dion - fans?, by Coach on Feb 19, 2016 23:49:17 GMT 1, Rather than simply rely on my natural distaste for blood sports, I've been looking at other works by Dion.
I understand his portrayal of curiosities, and their place in history. But I am afraid that I still cannot appreciate these prints.

Nothing better or more appealing than a real discussion of fine art. I guess (without being too verbose) I would say that art (no matter the medium it's presented in) will present certain emotions and evoke certain experiences within each viewer. While I won't (nor can I) speak for the artist, I believe his intent (my opinion) was to connect the lineage and classical connections to hunting for survival and the proud histories of family heritages of sporting traditions.
I (as avid bird hunter and shotgun afficianado) relate to these prints because of their significance to the game and graphics (somewhat remedial) nature of the prints.
I love this forum and I love art because of the reason I just spent time typing this response. Art provokes so many different emotions from so many different people!
