Class 11: Thames Dig

Thursday, April 15, 2010 Posted by Ian Alden Russell
Here are two interviews relating to Mark Dion's Thames Dig project in 1999 at the Tate Modern. Notice the different trajectories between the curatorial and artistic perspectives on the project, and in general note what could be seen as a lack of overarching critical engagement with the formal aesthetics and intellectual structures being mobilised as part of the project.

In particular please compare this with the In Transit project film by Greg Bailey which is in the following post.
