He has written on art and nature and created collaborative on-site projects with the Belize Zoo and the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, Belize. Some of Dion's bird-related installations have been exhibited in New York, Basel and Zurich, Switzerland, and Antwerp, Belgium. Approximately 30 new works will debut in San Diego and Tijuana during the 19-week exhibition. Projects will range from new media and installation to performance and spectacle, film and video. During these weekends, the public has the choice of joining a guided expedition for a fee or arranging their own transportation.
Most projects are open to the public at no charge.
In addition to the Exploration Weekends, there will be special events including symposia, lectures, performances and a film and video series.
