The Church in Sag Harbor will host acclaimed photographer Heji Shin on Saturday, July 13, at 3 p.m. in dialogue about her work with observations with Ebony L. Haynes. Shin’s inclusion in The Church’s current exhibition “Are You Joking?” is a work from her The Big Nudes series that was shown in 2023 at 52 Walker in New York City; past solo exhibitions were at Reena Spaulings in New York City, Galerie Buchholz in Berlin and she was featured in the 2019 Whitney Biennial. The pair will explore humor in Shin’s work, among other topics. A Q&A will follow the discussion.
