The exhibition is "REMEMBER TO DREAM!" (2023) by Hans Ulrich Obrist, curator and artistic director of Serpentine Galleries in London.
Sharing his curatorial expertise to his 386,000+ followers (and counting) on his Instagram feed, Shaw seeks to revive the art of the hand-drawn in an ever-advancing digital age, resulting in the most comprehensive look at the art world from the inside out with a renowned cast of artists, writers, designers, musicians, actors, architects and public figures.
Known as " Post-it notes ," this open-ended project sees the artist collect some of the world's greatest contemporary artists' thoughts, dreams, drawings, musings, jokes, quotes, questions, answers, poems, puns, and more, handwritten on everyday Post-it notes. Ranging from the empowering and philosophical to the uplifting and straightforward, the original and funny to the tender last words, "Remember to Dream " (from the notebooks of American photographer Carrie Mae Weems) paints a picture of the "art world" as heard directly from many of the 21st century's most celebrated artists.
The book includes a preface by the author and the cover was designed by Dutch graphic designer Irma Boom.
