Booth S05 | Man Machines
On the occasion of Hong Kong Spotlight by Art Basel, Simon Lee Gallery is proud to present a solo booth of works from Jim Shaw’s iconic Man Machine series.
Since the early 1970s Shaw has worked in cycles, many of which are still ongoing. Produced in tandem with long-running series of top-hatted men and profiles of facial hair from the gilded age, the Man Machine works exemplify Shaw's rigorous research processes and systematic interrogation of cultural detritus. He employs strategies of the absurd to bring into sharp focus themes such as failing economies and political corruption, deftly revealing the underbelly of society whilst commenting on the construction of individual and collective identity.
