Meet your Gremlin, Make your Gremlin: Workshop with Herbhag

A four hour workshop where we use Jungian active imagination techniques to go into our inner subterranean spaces and meet the inner gremlins, the little aspects of self that delight in producing chaos and malfunction. Following this experience, we will use found and organic materials to make little emblems of our gremlins to keep and remind us of the joys of mishap.

About the Artist:

Tiffany Jaeyeon Shin explores the porousness of bodily boundaries and the ceaseless movement of living processes, like fermentation, echoing the history of colonialism. Shin is interested in entangling the history of conquest and the literal digestion of material – smells, microbes, and food – into a new system of relations that emerge from a complicated history of entanglement. Shin has shown internationally at Lewis Center for the Arts; Cuchifritos Gallery; Cody Dock; Knockdown Center; AC Institute; Abrons Arts Center; Tiger Strikes Asteroid, among others. Select commissions and fellowships include 2019 Visiting Artist Fellow at UrbanGlass and 2019 Visiting Artist for Col(LAB), Program in American Studies at Princeton University. Shin lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
