Jean Shin: Inclusions and Celadon LandscapeFriday, May 15
6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
Crow Collection of Asian Art
0.1 Miles from Museum Tower
This evening, a special edition of Crow Collection After Dark brings a rare treat as the museum welcomes two incredible new exhibitions by Brooklyn-based artist, Jean Shin. Part of the inaugural Soluna International Music and Arts Festival, both Inclusions and Celadon Landscape pay homage to Shin’s Korean roots and are representative of her culture and heritage. The highly-anticipated site-specific sculpture, Celadon Landscape, references the shape of a Korean celadon vase and is constructed from ceramic discards collected from numerous kilns in South Korea. This particular project serves as a metaphor for the Korean diaspora while her other art is reflective of her unique experiences and identity as an Asian immigrant. Join the Crow Collection of Asian Art this evening for engaging artwork, the opportunity to meet artist Jean Shin, Korean dance and music, as well as other activities. Admission is free.
