The work was created as a site-specific work as part of the Dundee Contemporary Arts exhibition ‘Our Surroundings’. Dion described the project in ‘MAP’ magazine: ‘Having been invited by Dundee Contemporary Arts to develop a public project in the city of Dundee, I became immediately enthusiastic about the possibility of becoming part of the team re-designing the European brown bear enclosure for Camperdown Wildlife Centre. Dundee City Council had engaged architects, engineers, educators and wildlife managers to provide the two brown bears with a vastly enhanced enclosure which would replace their current cage. These bears, while healthy and well-adapted, have never set a paw on grass. ‘Working along with architect Duncan Myers, and Kevin Gosling and Aileen Whitelaw from the Wildlife Centre, we have developed the “Dundee Bear Broch”.
