Jeremy Shaw
Quickeners
In the south-eastern portion of Area 23 - a deserted and derelict region once known in the late age of human civilization as the Americas - a tiny population of Quantum Humans have been gathering, meeting together under a common bind.
Their aesthetic appearance is not unlike that of any Quantum Human; their biological and technological make-up the same, and their direct neural link to The Hive concurrent with our unified Quantum Human Society. They are immortal Quantum Humans, like you and I.
But there is one thing currently separating them from our social order: The Quantum Humans of Area 23 are afflicted with an extremely rare disorder known as Human Atavism Syndrome - or H.A.S.
Johann König, Berlin, is pleased to present Jeremy Shaw’s first exhibition at the gallery, Quickeners. Jeremy Shaw (born 1977 in North Vancouver, Canada) lives and works in Berlin.

No Coca-Cola
Johann König, Berlin, 2014
"I’m not involved with Coca Cola … I’m involved in the technical beauty of rockets, people flying in space and people becoming robots. When you come here from Europe it is so fascinating … like a dream of our time. The new ideas are here, the materials are here, why not use them?" Kiki Kogelnik
