Item Special Note
Christopher Griffin splits his time between both his studios in Ottawa and Charlottetown. After his Ottawa studio was tagged with graffiti, Christopher ventured off into elaborating on graffiti in public spaces. This in turn led to examining the response of governments to combatting graffiti. Griffin is interested in whose voice is allowed to visually speak and how it affects communities
Christopher Griffin partage son temps entre ses ateliers d’Ottawa et de Charlottetown. Lorsque son atelier d’Ottawa s’est fait recouvrir de graffiti, l’artiste s’est aventuré dans la réflexion sur les graffitis dans l’espace public, ce qui l’a ensuite mené à examiner la réponse gouvernementale pour contrer le phénomène. Il se demande à qui est accordé le droit de communiquer visuellement et quelles en sont les conséquences sur les communautés.
