註釋Accompanying the artist's acclaimed inaugural exhibition at the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles, Jim Shaw: The Wig Museum highlights Shaw's more than thirty-year engagement with America's social, political and spiritual histories through the nation's vernacular and fringe cultures. One of Los Angeles's most idiosyncratic and beloved artists, Shaw was invited to consider the enigmatic artifacts found during the transformation of the former Scottish Rite Masonic Temple-furniture, stage sets, robes, costumes, wigs and regalia left behind by the Freemasons, a worldwide fraternal order dating back to the 18th century. The Wig Museum was specifically conceived for the site and, according to the artist, can be understood as a metaphor for the wig-wearing masonic and judiciary Anglo-Saxon power that is coming to an end.
