"A long awaited survey of Jim Shaw's career from 1974 to the present, showcasing his obsessive cultural cataloging and the depth of his colorful, eccentric interior world. From the massive 170 piece multimedia work, My Mirage, which traces the roller coaster life of a whitebread American named Billy, to Thrift Store Paintings, Shaw's highly individualized ""outsider"" perspective, mixing contemporary art discourse with mainstream American culture has established Jim Shaw as a seminal figure. Interview by Mike Kelley."
