About the exhibition
BOOTLEG SHREG & FRIENDS was an exhibition that invited you to enter the world of ‘Shreg’ and collaborate in designing this unique character. The show explored the idea of combining the best qualities of popular green cartoon characters like Shrek, Yoda, the Grinch, Yoshi, or Luigi to create a brand new one. The exhibition featured interactive inflatables, paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces in various mediums for visitors to enjoy.
BOOTLEG SHREG & FRIENDS was a tribute to unusual green characters from pop culture that use their strength, wisdom, love of adventure, sharp wit, or unwavering determination to overcome challenges and protect their loved ones. In Space 1, visitors could assemble the new character from inflatable shapes and in Space 2, they could make their version of SHREG using plasticine and check up on Bruce’s sculptural homework.
This was an imaginative exhibition that introduced a fresh character in an exciting and thought-provoking way, through a collection of new works commissioned by Humber Street Gallery.
