Join Gagosian for a conversation between Jim Shaw and fellow artist Tony Oursler inside Shaw’s exhibition of drawings at Gagosian, Park & 75, New York. Made between 2012 and 2024, the works on view find the artist continuing his journey through the maelstrom of American society, taking inspiration from such sources as vintage advertisements and borrowing from the aesthetics of comic books and album covers. Moderated by Gagosian director Jessica Beck, the conversation will focus on Shaw’s practice of dream drawing and on drawing in general as a consistent aspect of his work, the two artists’ shared interest in spiritual and religious histories and propaganda, and their time as students at CalArts in the late 1970s.
