Rizzoli International Publications Jim Shaw: The End Is Here
Over the past thirty years, Jim Shaw has become one of America's most visionary artists, moving between painting, sculpture, and drawings, while building connections between his own psyche and the larger political, social, and spiritual history of America. Shaw's imagery is mined from comic books, record covers, conspiracy magazines, obscure religious pamphlets, and other cultural refuse to produce a portrait of the American subconscious out of his personal obsessions. Shaw, along with fellow Michigan native Mike Kelley, moved to California in the 1970s to attend Cal Arts and was one of a number of notable artists to emerge from the school in the early 1980s. Shaw's work is distinguished by rigorous formal and structural analyses of neglected forms of vernacular culture. Accompanying a major exhibition, this is the first major monograph devoted to the entirety of the artist's unique, multifaceted career.

New Museum of Contemporary Art,U.S. Wong Ping: Your Silent Neighbor
Recent works by Hong Kong animator Wong Ping, whose childlike cartoons evoke adult themes and anxieties Produced in tandem with his first solo museum exhibition in New York, this publication offers insight into the work of Hong Kong–based animator Wong Ping (born 1984). Over the past ten years, Ping has crafted tales of individual desires, societal pressures and political upheaval. His works, which are often vibrantly pop-colored and rely on geometric form, reveal themselves as metaphors for larger systemic issues, such as immigration, social relations and economic anxieties. Although his videos may initially recall the language of children’s cartoons, Wong Ping’s work emerges from his own stories and journals in which he reveals the daily aspirations and anxieties of everyday residents of Hong Kong through surreal narratives and a bizarre cast of anthropomorphic characters. This exhibition brings together a selection of recent work by Wong Ping from across his widely experimental oeuvre.

New Museum of Contemporary Art,U.S. Mire Lee: Black Sun
Machinery and organism merge in Lee’s sculptural explorations of bodily function and environmental decay Published on the occasion of Mire Lee's (born 1988) first American solo museum exhibition, this publication brings together Lee's recent architectural environments and kinetic sculptures. Composed of materials including low-tech motors, pumping systems, steel rods and PVC hoses filled with grease, glycerin, silicone, slip and oil, Lee’s animatronic sculptures operate both like living organisms and biological machines. Drawing references from architecture, horror, pornography and cybernetics, and evoking bodily functions and environmental decay, Lee offers a visceral means to describe properties that exist between the realms of the technological and the corporeal: tenderness, desire, abjection, anxiety and revulsion, among other states. In the past year, Lee has had institutional solo exhibitions at MMK Frankfurt and Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Netherlands, and has participated in major international exhibitions including the 59th Venice Biennale, the 58th Carnegie International, and Busan Biennial 2022.
