2022-23: Jean Shin
We are happy to announce our 2022-23 Denning Visiting Artist Jean Shin, who will work with the LaBeaud Lab in Stanford Medical School. Over the course of the year, Jean will work with LaBeaud staff and researchers on campus and in Kenya to create a sculpture out of single use plastics, bringing about attention to the plastic waste problem which is a main contributor to insect breeding and the spread of disease. Jean will give guest lectures, lead a student workshop to prototype the sculpture, and finally create and install sculptures both in the BMI building at the Medical School and the LaBeaud Lab in Kenya. There will be related public events showcasing the work and process during winter and spring quarters.
