Greg Corbino is a transdisciplinary queer artist, puppeteer and educator. His work is deeply invested in nature, joy, and justice - and often created from recycled materials, which is to say trash but let's be honest -there's no such thing as trash....His ongoing public space puppet performance, MURMURATIONS, draws attention to the environmental impact of plastics with giant puppets crafted of plastic trash collected from New York shorelines and has been supported by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Riverkeeper, Green Feather Foundation and Greenpeace USA. Collaborators include Peter Schumann and The Bread and Puppet Theater, Reverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir, Jennifer Miller and Circus Amok, Xaviera Simmons, Cecilia Vicuña and Becca Blackwell. His monumental design work has been featured at Soho Repertory Theater, The High Line, The Architecture League of New York, The Queens Museum, The Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Berlin Jewish Museum and the Smithsonian Institution. Greg lives and works in Brooklyn.

"Snatch and Tainty’s wonderful fake television show doesn’t air, exactly, so much as gestate inside a gorgeously baroque, pink-and-gilt set, designed by Greg Corbino, which features a chapel-size model of a lower body, with a throbbing, door-like vagina dead center, bracketed by huge golden legs."
