Jeremy Shaw (2)

Jeremy Shaw (b. 1977, North Vancouver) works in a variety of media to explore altered states and the cultural and scientific practices that aspire to map transcendental experience. Often combining strategies from the realms of conceptual art, documentary film, music video, and scientific research, Shaw’s work has addressed topics ranging from psychedelic drugs, hypnosis, and brain imaging, to straight-edge hardcore, serpent handling, and time travel. He has had solo exhibitions at MoMA PS1, New York; Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin; and MOCCA, Toronto. He has been included in group exhibitions at Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; KW Institute for contemporary art, Berlin; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
