TJ Shin (b. 1993) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Inspired by decentralized ecologies and queer sociality, they create living installations and imagine an ever-expanding self that exists beyond the boundaries of one’s skin. Shin has exhibited internationally at the Queens Museum, Lewis Center for the Arts, Roots and Culture Contemporary Art Center, The Bows, Doosan Gallery, Knockdown Center, and more. Their forthcoming solo exhibition, The Vegetarian: the Swamp, the Swarm & the Cross, opens at the Buffalo Institute of Contemporary Art in January 2023.
