Seripop

Seripop refers to the art duo Chloe Lum and Yannick Desranleau, who have collaborated on album covers, prints, book illustrations, and installations.[1][2][3] The name Seripop is short for Serigraphie Populaire, French for "Popular Screenprinting".[2] Seripop is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1]

Biographies

Lum and Desranleau met in the underground noise music scene of Montreal, eventually forming their first band Electric End. They began making their hand-printed posters as a way to attract people to their shows,[2] but then eventually dropped out of art school in the early 2000s to make tour posters for six bands' entire tours, resulting in 25 to 45 posters for each band[1]. Both are graduates of Montreal's Concordia University.[1] The two are also members of noise rock quartet, AIDS Wolf [4], which has since stopped playing shows.[2]
