This lecture surveys how multi-disciplinarity and our immediate physical environment has conditioned Seripop’s current practice. Punctuated with city politics, music scene gossip and diverse studio anecdotes, this presentation will showcase how Yannick and Chloe have applied what they’ve learned through their environmental influence into diverse new formal experiments, using screenprinting and installation-based work as their primary medium.
