Corbin Shaw’s sixth solo exhibition, Life Should Mean a Lot Less Than This, was presented with The Fores Project amidst Frieze Week 2025. Using collage, Shaw interrogated the newspaper as a once-dominant but now nearly obsolete cultural monolith, exploring its enduring role in constructing a notion of “bastardised Englishness’. 'Eurotrash' at Spazio Maiocchi, Milan was presented as an examination of the nuanced identity of Britain in the wake of Brexit. In 2024 Shaw presented ‘Little Dark Age’ at Incubator, Marylebone, explored modern day Britishness through ancient crafts, questioning the meaning of tradition and what it means to be English today.
