Foundation Gallery opens below ground level with the work of Montreal based design/printing duo Serigraphie Populaire aka Seriop. In only two years of designing and hand printing, Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau have produced over 150 posters; their work has been published in dozens of culture magazines and in several poster/design annuals, books. Seripop has become a sensation spreading their name and aesthetic throughout the punk rock community and beyond.

The show consists of two unique bodies of work. The first is a series of 10 art prints - Seripop set out to make millions of characters to test their method of working, their printing techniques, their compulsion towards frenzied production and the manic dedication to making things. What they arrived at were prints that depict landscapes filled with thousands of birds, monsters, magical creatures and anamorphic beings. The inhabitants include 150 hand drawn birds assembled in unique patterns and several hundred paper doll monsters in 12-18 color silkscreen prints.

In addition to the silk-screened art prints, Seripop will also be premiering an entirely new endeavor. In January Seripop launched a year and a half “tour poster” project for which they will create a band’s entire tours worth of unique posters; a single design per each individual show for six different independent bands. By producing a different design for each date on the tour, Chloe and Yannick create an exercise in print production and generate creative challenges which emulates the constant pressure of a DIY independent tour The first posters from the project, for The Chinese Stars and Daughters [16 prints in all] will be debuted as an installation at Foundation Gallery.

This is the first collaborative London exhibition of sheOne and Otwo. It cements four years of typographic exchange, painting and esoteric autopsy, bringing together their choice elements of recent rockGroup projects in Berlin, Belgium, France and Los Angeles. New paintings on canvas, installation murals and digital print. To mark this point in time they have designed and made a ltd edition book, a visual sampler from the 'inbox of the grafiti current', available exclusively to visitors to the exhibition.

Higher Gallery regretfully announces the departure of a fabulous show of new works by Juan Angel Chavez and Christopher Tavares Silva. Please join us for a reception on Friday, March 19th from 7-11pm.

Both artists work in found object construction- these works take the form of sculptural lightboxes to painted industrial constructions and a variety of shades in between. Chavez has been claiming unused abandoned urban space to create public art projects since 1996. Silva's work deals with the relationship of people to themselves, to others, and to their environment. Both artists have recently been individually awarded CTA grants to do mosaics on separate Blue Line stops.

It's like a long walk in the city to find interactions between Street-Art and human behaviour. Sometimes we didn't notice the feeling of a powerfull message written on the wall. Sometimes we didn't notice the beauty of the urban moves. This time, we'll be able to do it.
