The Modern Art Notes Podcast

Episode No. 447 is a post-holiday weekend clips episode featuring artist Mark Dion.

This week, Amazon Prime Video debuted "The Perilous Texas Adventures of Mark Dion," an hour-long documentary showing how Dion re-traced the steps of four nineteenth-century Texas explorers: Sarah Ann Lillie Hardinge, Charles Wright, John James Audubon and Frederick Law Olmsted. The film, which premiered on Texas PBS stations, was directed by Erik Clapp and produced by Maggie Adler.

The Amon Carter Museum exhibition chronicled by the documentary is also titled "The Perilous Texas Adventures of Mark Dion." Curated by Adler, it features both Dion's discoveries and related works from its collection. The exhibition's closing date is TBD.
