Dive into the art world of the closely allied artists Mark Dion & Alexis Rockman.

Mark Dion and Alexis Rockman: Journey to Nature's Underworld accompanies the first two-person survey exhibition of these closely allied artists. It offers a compelling tour through ecological concerns central to their celebrated careers and into the shadowy depths of the threatened natural world.

Mark Dion and Alexis Rockman were among the earliest contemporary artists to address, and even anticipate, the epic ecological problems we now face. This publication unites some twenty-five sculptures and paintings by both artists, along with selected works on paper and a major new collaborative diorama. As explored in the book's introduction, an essay by Lucy R. Lippard, and a new joint interview, the artists probe our strained relationship with the environment and the consequences of reigning ideologies about nature.
