My Turn: Everyday Monuments with Jean Shin
Delightful and awe-inspiring, Charles LeDray‘s work also engages themes of identity, memory, subjectivity, and loss. In this unique hands-on workshop as part of the My Turn public programs series, artist Jean Shin opens up for visitors one of her own projects, Everyday Monuments, that explores similar themes through the exalted yet prosaic object of the trophy. Through manipulations of scale and the questioning of stereotypes, Shin transforms these worshipped statues into a new kind of monument. Join us as we explore her process, seen in tandem with LeDray’s.

My Turn: Thek’s Teaching Notes With Jean Shin and Harrell Fletcher
When Paul Thek taught at the Cooper Union School of Art, he prepared his “Teaching Notes: 4-Dimensional Design,” a series of directives for the students, such as, “Design something to sell on a street corner,” and “Design a work of art that fits in a matchbox, a shoebox.” This evening, as part of the My Turn public programs series and in conjunction with Paul Thek: Diver, A Retrospective, artists Jean Shin and Harrell Fletcher open up Thek’s Teaching Notes for a wider public and invite participants to fulfill a set of instructions through a series of hands-on workshops. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to dive in. As Thek has asked, “What is the purpose of art?”
