Background information, content
"Secret societies, aberrant orders and fraternities, evangelical and fundamentalist movements, New Age spiritualists, Scientologists, Mormons, Freemasons, ultra-conservatives and all manner of conspirators, children's encyclopedias, and even the famous medical illustrations of Dr. Netter - Jim Shaw displays his incredible collection of didactic art in this catalog, which is his main source of inspiration.
Known for his striking paintings, drawings, videos, installations and performances, Jim Shaw is also an obsessive collector who is constantly on the lookout for pop culture pieces at thrift stores or online. The catalog gives readers the opportunity to immerse themselves in an exuberant world of paintings, sculptures, pamphlets, T-shirts, books, vinyls, and educational materials that recycle the myths and beliefs of America."
