Vivienne Griffin

Griffin’s anti-disciplinary practice includes electronic noise, one-to-one performances, objects (found and made) and drawings.

Vivienne Griffin (they/them) was born in Dublin, Ireland. They studied fine art at Hunter College, City University of New York, supported by a Fulbright Scholarship, and recently completed a PhD in music at SARC: The Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Sound and Music.

Griffin’s practice spans time-based and site-responsive works, sculpture, works on paper, and experimental sound. Their work ranges in form, from an augmented self-playing harp and a video work created within a virtual world to a long-running series of black ink drawings. Moving between ancient technologies and emerging media, Griffin frequently shifts materials and modes as part of their practice.
