The installation brings together singing wigs, an aggressive vacuum cleaner, catalogue models, cavemen, a half-cake, half-intestine figure, and the ghosts of industrial power and consumerism in a last, grotesque, and outdated dance. The work resurfaces American society\u0026rsquo;s debris and components, like an adrift yet very much present floating ideology. It is apparent \u0026mdash; in this piece and many others \u0026mdash; that Jim Shaw\u0026rsquo;s oeuvre is marked by a vintage aesthetic that reveals how important the 1960s were in forging his vision as a young artist, while he now uses this aesthetic as a poignant means of both depicting and undermining \u0026ldquo;the mythologised golden age of patriarchy in post-war America, where white men ran everything\u0026rdquo;. The present spectacle confronts viewers with a typically European standpoint: hungry for and critical of a stereotypical America, existing beyond a reality one can\u0026rsquo;t quite grasp.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr /\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCredits\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEditing, Animation\u003c/em\u003e - Kane Lafia\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVideography\u003c/em\u003e - Daniel Hawkins\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusic mixing, looping etc.\u003c/em\u003e - Kane Lafia\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusic\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw, D\u0026rsquo;redd D\u0026rsquo;warf (Dani Tull, Brian Randolph, Daniel Hope, Jim Shaw), Kalle Nemvalts\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVoice Recording\u003c/em\u003e - Corby Gallegos\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVoice Editing\u003c/em\u003e - Alan Tofighi\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalog models written dialogue\u003c/em\u003e - Colette Weber Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalog model Script editor\u003c/em\u003e - Akela Munson\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSet Photographer\u003c/em\u003e - LeeAnn Nickel\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerformers\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmorphous head Puppeteer\u003c/em\u003e - Daniel Hope\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBook\u003c/em\u003e - Kelsey Kuykendall\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCake\u003c/em\u003e - Kane Lafia\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCavemen\u003c/em\u003e - Marnie Weber, Kane Lafia, Daniel Hope\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Electronic Monster\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVacuum Cleaner\u003c/em\u003e - Daniel Hope\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWig Puppets\u003c/em\u003e - Tanya Haden and Mariah Csepanyi Cool\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVocal Performers\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalog model voices\u003c/em\u003e - Conor Murphy, Blake Bailey, Corby Gallegos, Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrackly puppet head voice\u003c/em\u003e - Tanya Haden\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCake and Vacuum voices\u003c/em\u003e - Corby Gallegos\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCigarette men voice\u003c/em\u003e - Blake Bailey\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eParking Meter Voice\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmooth puppet head voice\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCostume and Puppet Fabrication\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;- Daniel Hope, Kelsey Kuykendall\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssisted by: \u003c/em\u003eShelby Date, Javier Espinoza-Lopez\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Electronic Monster and Thirteen Ghosts \u003c/em\u003e(2024) is een nieuw werk dat voor deze tentoonstelling werd gecre\u0026euml;erd. Het is ge\u0026iuml;nspireerd op de herinnering aan twee monsterfilms die Jim Shaw in de bioscoop zag toen hij negen jaar oud was. De installatie brengt zingende pruiken, een agressieve stofzuiger, catalogusmodellen, holbewoners, een hybride wezen dat het midden houdt tussen gebak en ingewanden, en de geesten van de industri\u0026euml;le macht en het consumentisme samen in een ultieme, groteske, uit de pas lopende dans. Het werk brengt de bouwstenen en brokstukken van de Amerikaanse samenleving aan de oppervlakte, als een ideologie op drift, zwevend maar toch heel aanwezig. In veel werken zet Jim Shaw een vintage esthetiek in, die toont hoe belangrijk de jaren 1960 waren voor zijn opvattingen als beginnend kunstenaar, en die hij nu gebruikt als een treffend middel om \u003cem\u003e\u0026ldquo;de mythologische gouden eeuw van het patriarchaat in het naoorlogse Amerika, waar witte mannen alles beheersten\u0026rdquo;\u003c/em\u003e zowel uit te beelden als te ondermijnen. Het werk confronteert kijkers met hun typisch Europees standpunt: dat met een combinatie van nieuwsgierigheid en afkeuring kijkt naar een stereotiep Amerika, dat enkel ergens voorbij de werkelijkheid bestaat.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003chr /\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCredits\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEditing, Animation\u003c/em\u003e - Kane Lafia\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVideography\u003c/em\u003e - Daniel Hawkins\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusic mixing, looping etc.\u003c/em\u003e - Kane Lafia\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusic\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw, D\u0026rsquo;redd D\u0026rsquo;warf (Dani Tull, Brian Randolph, Daniel Hope, Jim Shaw), Kalle Nemvalts\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVoice Recording\u003c/em\u003e - Corby Gallegos\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVoice Editing\u003c/em\u003e - Alan Tofighi\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalog models written dialogue\u003c/em\u003e - Colette Weber Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalog model Script editor\u003c/em\u003e - Akela Munson\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSet Photographer\u003c/em\u003e - LeeAnn Nickel\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerformers\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmorphous head Puppeteer\u003c/em\u003e - Daniel Hope\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBook\u003c/em\u003e - Kelsey Kuykendall\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCake\u003c/em\u003e - Kane Lafia\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCavemen\u003c/em\u003e - Marnie Weber, Kane Lafia, Daniel Hope\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Electronic Monster\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVacuum Cleaner\u003c/em\u003e - Daniel Hope\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWig Puppets\u003c/em\u003e - Tanya Haden and Mariah Csepanyi Cool\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVocal Performers\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalog model voices\u003c/em\u003e - Conor Murphy, Blake Bailey, Corby Gallegos, Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrackly puppet head voice\u003c/em\u003e - Tanya Haden\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCake and Vacuum voices\u003c/em\u003e - Corby Gallegos\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCigarette men voice\u003c/em\u003e - Blake Bailey\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eParking Meter Voice\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmooth puppet head voice\u003c/em\u003e - Jim Shaw\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCostume and Puppet Fabrication\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;- Daniel Hope, Kelsey Kuykendall\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssisted by: \u003c/em\u003eShelby Date, Javier Espinoza-Lopez\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Electronic Monster and Thirteen Ghosts\u003c/em\u003e (2024) est une nouvelle oeuvre cr\u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;e pour l\u0026rsquo;exposition.
