  • The Second Avenue Subway opened earlier this month, with artwork by Chuck Close, Jean Shin, Sarah Sze, and Vik Muniz, and something strange happened: New Yorkers didn't complain. Instead, city dwellers welcomed new offerings like Close's mosaics of musician Lou Reed and Muniz's Perfect Strangers, which celebrates the diversity of New York City and features what is believed to be the first permanent, not explicitly political art installation in NY to depict a gay couple.

BIOGRAFI

Jean Shin (b. 1971, Seoul) attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine, in 1999 and received an M.S. in the Theory, Criticism & History of Art, Design & Architecture in 1996, as well as a BFA in painting in 1994, from the Pratt Institute in New York.

Jean Shin is nationally recognized for her monumental installations that transform everyday objects into elegant expressions of identity and community. For each project, she amasses vast collections of a particular object—prescription pill bottles, sports trophies, sweaters—which are often sourced through donations from individuals in a participating community. These intimate objects then become the materials for her conceptually rich sculptures, videos and site-specific installations. Distinguished by her meticulous, labor-intensive process, and her engagement of community, Shin’s arresting installations reflect individuals’ personal lives as well as collective issues that we face as a society.

 
Her work has been widely exhibited in major national and international museums, including in solo exhibitions at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona (2010), Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington DC (2009), the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia (2006), and Projects at The Museum of Modern Art in New York (2004).
 
Other venues have been the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Art and Design, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Asia Society and Museum, The Brooklyn Museum, Sculpture Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Frederieke Taylor Gallery in New York City. Site-specific permanent installations have been commissioned by the US General Services Administration Art in Architecture Award, New York City’s Percent for the Arts and MTA Art for Transit. She has received numerous awards, including the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Architecture/Environmental Structures (2008) and Sculpture (2003), Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, and Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Art Award. Her works have been featured in many publications, including Frieze Art, Flash Art, Tema Celeste, Art in America, Sculpture Magazine, Artnews, and The New York Times.
 
She lives and works in New York City.
