Jim Shaw: The Ties That Bind (Study Drawings 2013–2023)
Since the late 1970s, Jim Shaw has developed a rich and multifaceted body of work that includes photographs, drawings, paintings, sculptures, installations, films, and musical performances. The publication The Ties That Bind addresses the commitments, obsessions, and conceptual territories that drive Jim Shaw’s practice: morality, fictional narratives, conspiracy theories, power dynamics and patriarchy, hair, and forms of cultural production, to name a few. Conceived on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at M HKA, Antwerp, the publication collects 142 drawings realized between 2013 and 2023. The essays by Calla Henkel and Mark von Schlegell accompany the images, projecting the reader into a fictional dimension interwined with Shaw’s practice, relying on his drawings as a backdrop of territories, scenes, characters, and ideas onto which they could project their own narrative.
Co-published with M HKA, Antwerp.
208 pages, 17 x 24 cm, softcover, Mousse (Milan).
