-----------------

Seripop's No Henge exhibition will open at the Emporium Gallery (3035 St. Antoine Ouest #74) on Thursday, July 2nd from 7PM-11PM. The exhibition will also be open on Saturday, July 4th and Sunday, July 5th from 12PM-5PM. Private viewings will be available thereafter by appointment from Monday, July 6th to Wednesday, July 8th.

About No Henge
Seripop is a Montreal-based, award winning creative duo that is internationally recognized for its stylistically distinct street posters and sculptural print installations. No Henge, their first solo exhibition in Montreal (and first Canadian exhibition in almost 2 years), elaborates on Seripop's penchant for psychedelic exuberance through an immersive, silkscreen-based kaleidoscopic take over of the Emporium Gallery. No surface will be left bare so be prepared for the onslaught.

Artist Statement
In 2005 Seripop started experimenting with sculptural print installations. The installations are aesthetically informed by poster making and comprise of large totem-like folded origami structures that look both like buildings and meat grinders. These sculptures and environments around them are made with screenprinted stock that is folded or pasted in overlapping layers on the gallery walls and floors, much like the layers of posters that accumulate on city walls.

Ultimately, the installations are abstracted visual comments on the relations between urban landscape and design, graphic design, the evolution of form within fine arts and the urban person. This is made by the use of imaginary 'logotypes' and forms evocating the urban environment, art and design history and clichés. Screenprinting on paper is a medium that is
historically associated with these subjects; its flexibility allows the dimensions necessary for the installations to put the viewer in context.

About Seripop
Formed in 2002, Seripop is the nom de guerre of Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau, the award-winning creative duo behind Seripop. Based in Montreal, Seripop has earned international attention for its stylistically distinct, silkscreened street posters which have been featured in notable books such as 'New Vintage Type', 'New Masters of Poster Design' and 'Print Liberation: The Screen Printing Primer' among many others. In 2005, Seripop began experimenting with sculptural print installations which led to Seripop having solo exhibitions at Peacock Visual Arts in Aberdeen, Scotland, Bongout Gallery in Berlin, Germany and Spedition in Bremen, Germany. They have also exhibited at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft in Louisville, Kentucky and are preparing for an exhibition at
BALTIC Center for Contemporary Arts in Gateshead, England. In addition to Seripop, Lum and Desranleau play in AIDS Wolf, a noise-rock band and Hamborghinni, a drums and electronics project.

environment for performances from 10 live music bands over two nights, including Lum
and Desranleau’s very own band Hamborghinni. The live music will come from the
likes of Cleckhuddersfax, drawing influences from the weirdest corners of punk, prog,
synth pop and disco to create a unique sound which mixes up experiment and fun in equal measures; Beards from Leeds who dress in homemade costumes and face paint making a theatrical performance; Birmingham based Phil Duckworth and Ben Sadler aka juneau brothers, who sing and play handmade electronic sculptural instruments inspired by folk history and Newcastle based modern folk trio Les Cox (sportifs).

Seripop are driven by a DIY underground music scene and create posters and artwork for their own band AIDS Wolf and other musicians. From this they have spearheaded an exciting independent art scene, which is more familiar outside of traditional gallery spaces.
Seripop are concerned with experimenting with surrealist imagery on their own terms
instead of creating commercial artwork. In despite of this their prints and designs have become very collectable and these young artists are forming a vibrant and successful international scene.


In addition to the live music programme Seripop’s installation will be free to view during gallery hours on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 August and will be accompanied by a free film programme which will be shown in the adjacent cinema.

A free fanzine for the event has been created by ‘zine makers Ricochet! Ricochet! and
Craft Club and will be available alongside other Seripop merchandise and silkscreened
posters from a fanzine distro stall located on Level 1 for the entire weekend. It will also offer works from North East fanzine makers with an opportunity to buy prints from the best of current UK screenprinters.

BALTIC Shop will also be selling Seripop prints and associated merchandise, with
products also available to buy online here .
