KRIS TRIGG IS ALL TAPED UP
A Window to Reality #001: THE POP ARTIST was kicked off by Kris Trigg in a local disused shop. During the performance we managed to discuss the project with Kris…
THE INTERVIEW
The following interview was conducted between Kris and James Poole during the performance in Loughborough town centre.
“Having worked with Graff.io before I am familiar with their approach and outlook. I am always open to working on new projects and we share very similar views on being open minded and progressive.”
When you got asked by Graffio Arts to be part of the project, what were your immediate thoughts?
Having worked with Graff.io before I am familiar with their approach and outlook. I am always open to working on new projects and we share very similar views on being open minded and progressive.
How do you approach a project like this?
Not to think too much about the space so I have no preconceptions. I had a vague idea that I wanted the content to be loosely based on a building that had a connection to Loughborough but apart from that I like the anticipation and the challenge.
How did you decide on the artwork for the performance?
As before loosely based on a local building. I knew that I would start off with a strip of yellow but apart from those two elements I wanted to space it would sit in to have some influence on what was produced on the day.
How did you feel that it went on the day?
Loved it. I felt very calm and happy to just let it happen. I enjoyed the bigger space around the board / canvas and this allowed me to engage with the process of producing and also to see the piece entirely from different viewpoints. I also enjoyed the pressure of producing in front of an audience as I am normally quite reserved.
