Tim Shaw: Beyond Reason
documentary short
20 minutes
2019
Northern Irish 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 and abuse of power.
Created for the exhibition Tim Shaw: Beyond Reason, this short film presents an artist’s exploration of global terrorism, freedom of speech, and artificial intelligence as expressed through six thought-provoking installations at the San Diego Museum of Art.
Shaw has had a number of significant solo exhibitions throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. Tim Shaw: Beyond Reason is the first time the artist’s work was on view in the U.S.
Tim Shaw: Beyond Reason is curated by Anita Feldman, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs and Education at The San Diego Museum of Art. The exhibition will have an accompanying publication with scholarly essays and an interview with the artist.
On view October 20, 2018-February 24, 2019 at the San Diego Museum of Art.
