Résumé:
"High Line: a field guide and handbook" is a pocket-sized artists’ project offering an alternative survey to some curious aspects of New York’s elevated High Line park. Presenting an account – both anecdotal and scientifically minded – of the fauna and insect-life that thrives there, the book serves as a colorful introduction to the vast and varied ecology of the High Line. Full of peculiar observations, rumors, speculations, and mostly-true facts, Field Guide captures the manifold experience of moving along the elevated greenway through a towering cityscape.

Résumé:
Recalling the short-lived Bureau de recherches surréalistes of 1924–1925 - part information centre and ‘public relations’ office, and part surrealist archive - Mark Dion has trawled the Manchester Museum’s own collections and found the raw material for this book and a new installation in the museum. Museums’ attempts to classify and present the world in miniature inevitably mean that much of their collections are forgotten and marginalized. Renowned for his work exploring taxonomy, archaeology and ecology, Mark Dion in his "Bureau" documents his opportunistic encounters with the Museum of Manchester’s neglected drawers and overlooked recesses that are home to redundant labels, orphaned mounts, defunct teaching models, botanical freaks, Egyptian fakes and the minutiae that have fallen through the cracks of museum practice and lain abandoned. Dion’s "Bureau of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and its Legacy" is both a repository for the detritus of museum life and a working process, classifying the museum’s un-classifiable whilst exploring the bureaucratic workings of the institution.

Résumé:
Museums' attempts to classify and present the world in miniature inevitably mean that much of their collections are forgotten and marginalized. New York based artist Mark Dion (b. 1961), renowned for his work exploring taxonomy, archaeology, and ecology, documents his opportunistic encounters with the Museum of Manchesters neglected drawers and overlooked recesses that are home to redundant labels, orphaned mounts, defunct teaching models, botanical freaks, egyptian fakes, and the minutiae that have fallen through the cracks of museum practice. Finally back in print, ''Bureau of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and Its Legacy'', Dion's project and book are a repository for the detritus of museum life and a work in process, classifying the museums unclassifiable while exploring the bureaucratic workings of the institution.
