Eureem Shin

Eureem Shin is a master’s candidate in Performance Studies at NYU Tisch and holds a bachelor’s degree in voice performance from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. After college, she supported her painter mother’s work through exhibition coordination, administrative support, and media production. Her current practice explores inter-sensory translation, ethical aesthetics, and collaborative authorship across music, visual art, and performance.

Project Title: The Sea Where the Sun Never Sets

Project Description: This project reimagines visual art through music by translating paintings into a five-part song cycle. Based on the works of Korean painter Oh Ji-yoon, the music reflects the emotional rhythm and visual texture of her paintings. A short fairy tale written by Shin, inspired by the paintings, served as the narrative framework for the composition. Rather than being performed live, the music was installed as ambient sound within the gallery, allowing audiences to experience the art through a layered, multisensory encounter. The project explores how art can be inherited and reinterpreted across media through collaboration and sensory translation.

Project Inspiration: Initiated by a desire to move beyond traditional wall texts, this work explores how music can create a deeper emotional engagement with visual art. As the daughter of the painter, Shin approaches the artwork as a space for dialogue, translating visual impressions into music rather than simply inheriting them.
