“I’m not interested in 'waste' as much as showing the transformation and potential the used and discarded have through our reframing, care, and labor.” —Jean Shin

 

Jean Shin transforms discarded objects into monumental sculptures that invite us to reconsider consumerism and identity. Shin’s 1999 installation Alterations, currently on view as a centerpiece of the group show Fabricated Imaginaries: Crafting Art, was reinstalled this year by the artist for the first time since its creation. In conversation with Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, and Dr. Amy Kahng, Florence Levy Kay Fellow in the Art of Asia’s Diasporas and Asian American Art, the artist will discuss the formal and thematic through lines from Alterations to her most recent artworks.
