The City of Lights - FREE GRAFFITI RESEARCH LAB (NYC) WORKSHOP THIS WEEKEND

There is no doubt that graffiti has been a hot topic in Perth over recent weeks. With debate over regulating laws, sentencing and civilian rights, what better time to throw a little extra light on the subject.

A surprise visit this weekend by the renowned arts group New York’s Graffiti Research Lab (GRL) will add a splash of non permanent colour over inner city streetscapes, as high tech laser technology allows participants to ‘tag’ skyscrapers and other city surfaces.

In an age where graffiti is plastered over the walls of high end galleries and featured on every second clothing and lifestyle product, yet the act of just carrying a can of spray paint can land you in serious legal trouble, Graffiti’s place in today’s society is an issue that needs some focus and discussion.

Join the Graffiti Research Lab as they explore the issues and show their work at a free presentation and forum this Sunday followed by an ‘open workshop’ for all interested on the streets of Perth.

FREE GRAFFITI RESEARCH LAB PRESENTATION
FOLLOWED BY SOME MONUMENTAL LASER TAG PUBLIC ART INTERVENTIONS AROUND THE CITY AFTERWARDS.
ALL WELCOME

7 - 8PM Sunday March 9th
The Bakery ARTRAGE Complex
233 James Street Northbridge

Pierre is a Perth based graphic designer and illustrator with a varied design career. Originally studying and working in web design, he moved into the print industry which allowed his interest in art and technology to combine more fruitfully. He has since shifted into the area of digital graphics and illustration in a more professional context, working at a startup advertising and design studio. Having recently completed his studies he intends to pursue these areas with gusto.

Pierre grew up admiring many comic books and cartoons, particularly Tintin - loving the clean outlines and detailed scenes of Herge’s creation. He often incorporates these influences into much of his illustration work.

Pierre draws particular inspiration from pre production artwork and concepts found in the video game and motion picture industries, and the huge range of techniques employed in visualizing these creations through to completion. It is one area where he would love to work in one day….
