Vivienne Griffin

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

Born in Dublin, based in London and New York, Griffin makes sculptures, drawings and audio works in their anti-disciplinary practice. The voice, vernacular language and noise are used in text works (2D and aural) and free poetic form is applied to assemblages of objects (found and made). They are currently focussing on the problematics of hyperindividualism in their new body of work, and the uses of sound (and/or silence), dance music, meditation, singing and podcasts as means of transcending the self. Their work seeks emancipation from the apathy of banality; entangled with everyday life, it implicates the ordinary as rare.

Griffin completed their MFA at Hunter, New York supported by a Fulbright Scholarship. In 2016 they exhibited at Frieze, New York and 427 in Latvia. They performed at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Romania in 2017 and in 2018 at CONDO with Bureau in Southard Reid and The Centre de la Photographie Genève (CPG), 2019. Griffin is represented by Bureau, New York.
