Tim Shaw: Beyond Reason

Exhibition Website

Oct 20 2018 - Feb 24 2019

British sculptor Tim Shaw creates psychologically charged environments that address humanitarian issues designed to unsettle and provoke thought.  His work raises questions about difficult and controversial topics such as global terrorism, freedom of speech, and the future of artificial intelligence.

From recreating a childhood memory of an IRA bombing in a Belfast café in Mother The Air is Blue, The Air Is Dangerous to speaking directly to viewers about moral conflicts in The Birth of Breakdown Clown, Shaw examines the human condition through immersive installations, mixed media sculpture, as well as related drawings and maquettes.
