BLPRNT is a new project by visual artist Joanie Lemercier (FR), and sound artist James Ginzburg (UK), commissioned by STRP for this year’s edition of the exhibition.

The work interrogates the notion of blueprint as the intersection of ideation and architecture, a map that leads from formlessness to form. It explores the view of architecture as both the endless repetition of the cosmic order, and as a shelter from the infinite, a human construct that brings the capriciousness of nature into perspective.

With BLPRNT, Lemercier and Ginzburg translate the immateriality of space, architecture and causality into a choreography of structural elements. The installation is formed from a central monolithic tower that is flanked by two large screens and activated by light projection and sound. Together, these tell a story of the cosmos and architecture, climaxing in an anamorphosis.

The audio component comprises contrabass materials recorded at EMS in Stockholm by Yair Elazar Glotman which have been processed, augmented and fused with electronics by James Ginzburg in his Bristol UK studio. The piece is inspired by the architecture of the venue it’s presenter in and communicates the grandeur of the building and space, mirroring the relationship implicit in all architecture: the relationship between structure and void.

Joanie Lemercier is a French artist primarily focused on projections of light in space and its influence on our perception. Lemercier was introduced to creating art on a computer at age five by attending classes on pattern design for fabrics taught by his mother. The threads of his early education grounded his interest in physical structures: geometry, patterns, and minimalist forms. As Lemercier’s work evolved, he began to play with these concrete structures through the physics and philosophy of how light can be used to manipulate perceived reality.
Since 2006 Lemercier has worked with projected light, and he co founded visual label AntiVJ in 2008, with artists Yannick Jacquet, Romain Tardy and Olivier Ratsi. He worked on stage design for festivals such as Mutek (Montreal, Mexico) and worked alongside artists such as Flying Lotus (special show at the Roundhouse London), and with Portishead’s Adrian Utley (as part of the cultural Olympiads, London 2012), and architectural projections all around the world.
In 2010, Lemercier turned his focus on installations and gallery work, and exhibited at China Museum of Digital Art, (Beijing), Art Basel Miami and Sundance film festival 2013.
In 2013, Lemercier founded a creative studio in NYC, focused on research and development of artworks and experiments that use projected light in space.
He is represented by Muriel Guepin Gallery in New York City.

Artiste visuel spécialisé dans la projection mapping, Joanie Lemercier explore différentes formes pour exercer son art. Sur commande de la galerie The Public, située à Birmingham, le fondateur du collectif Anti VJ imagine ce tableau illuminé en relief. Une création réalisée à l’aide de feuilles de papier A4 et de ruban adhésif. L’assemblage donne naissance à des origamis dont les contours se dessinent et se transforment sous l’effet de la projection.

Joanie Lemercier (né en 1982) est un artiste français dont le travail porte sur les projections de lumière dans l’espace et leur influence sur notre perception. Lemercier a été introduit à l’âge de cinq ans à l’art numérique grâce aux enseignements de sa mère, professeure de dessin assisté par ordinateur. C’est sur la base de ce premier apprentissage que s’est fondé son intérêt pour l’organisation des formes : géométrie, motifs et formes minimalistes. Lemercier a ensuite fait évoluer son travail et a commencé à jouer avec des structures concrètes par le biais de la physique et de la philosophie pour montrer comment la lumière peut être utilisée afin de manipuler notre perception de la réalité.
Depuis 2006 Lemercier travaille sur la projection de lumière (video mapping). Il a co-fondé le collectif AntiVJ en 2008 avec les artistes Yannick Jacquet, Romain Tardy et Olivier Ratsi. Il a travaillé sur la réalisation de décors de scènes pour des festivals comme le Mutek (Montreal, Mexico) et ta collaboré avec des artistes tels que Flying Lotus (lors d’un show spécial à la Roundhouse de Londres) et Adrian Utley de Portishead (dans le cadre des Olympiades culturelles de Londres en 2012). Il réalise également des projections sur des architectures dans le monde entier.
En 2010 Lemercier s’est tourné vers les installations et les réalisations pour les galeries d’art. Il a exposé au China Museum of Digital Art (Beijing), l’Art Basel de Miami et le Sundance film festival en 2013. La même année, il a quitté AntiVJ et a fondé son propre studio de création à New York, axé sur la recherche et le développement d’œuvres utilisant la projection de lumière dans l’espace. Il vit actuellement entre New York et Paris.

Простую, но очень нежную, изящную и воздушную инсталляцию в виде оригами придумал и воплотил в жизнь французский художник Джоанье Лемерсье (Joanie Lemercier), ныне обитающий в Бристоле. Используя простые геометрические формы, материалы и художественные приемы, он сотворил нечто такое, что одновременно напоминает и схематическую карту звездного неба, и такую же карту, но большого и шумного города в ночное время.
