EXHIBITION FOREWORD :
 

Tim Shaw 'What Remains' is on show at The Exchange, Princess Street, Penzance, Cornwall, TR18 2NL

What Remains is a partnership with Anima-Mundi to present Tim Shaw’s work across two sites during 2017/18. Something is Not Quite Right at Anima Mundi took place from 13 October until 9th December 2017.

The exhibition brings together a number of works by Tim Shaw, the acclaimed sculptor and Royal Academician held at The Exchange in association with Anima Mundi.       

Drawn from personal experience, Shaw’s exhibition features two installations that address head-on the global presence and effect of terrorism and the pervasive sense of hidden powers having control over our lives.

Mother, The Air Is Blue, The Air Is Dangerous is an immersive experience using video and sound. It is a deeply personal work which offers a visceral insight into Shaw’s experience as a child in Belfast when he and his mother were caught in an IRA bombing.

Soul Snatcher Possession is a sculptural installation which portrays an ambiguous meeting of figures, the air taut with menace.
