This sketch shows a messy but organized floor plan of an art lab. Shelves hold salvaged objects—fireplace mantels, old bottles, and odd tools. Tiny drawings label each section, like a "pattern for museum" or "interactive cabinet for dry artifacts." Two framed photos peek out, one of a person in the lab. The artist turned a guardhouse into a workspace, mixing real tools with found items. Notes explain how they clean and store artifacts, even using wallpaper from a demolished hotel. Look up Mark Dion to see more of his hands-on art projects.
