Casting a Dark Democracy

By  Tim Shaw 2007 - 2008

Jan Slavik, DOX

Multi-sensory gallery installation influenced by the war in Iraq. “The most politically charged yet poetically resonant new work on show in London now is Tim Shaw’s Casting a Dark Democracy.” Jackie Wullschlager, The Financial Times

"Powerful images from the Iraq War given sculptural form." 
Time Out

“Shockingly powerful… I’d assumed that no artwork could ever match the impact of the actual newspaper photos, but Casting succeeds.”
Gilda Williams, Artforum

“Arguably one of the most courageous sculptures of our time.”
