THE LIVE DRAWING PROJECT IN AREQUIPA

The Live Drawing Project is a creative and participatory initiative that allows people to create a collective artwork using their smartphones. The process involves members of the audience freely drawing on their devices while connected to a real-time video projection. All drawings are instantly projected onto a wall or large surface, creating a dynamic and ever-changing visual experience.

This project has successfully held several exhibitions in historical monuments in cities such as Brussels (Belgium), Paris, Saint-Étienne, Troyes (France), Dublin (Ireland), Copenhagen (Denmark), and this year it is coming to Latin America for a tour in countries like Colombia and Peru. The White City of Arequipa is one of the privileged locations to host this promising exhibition, thanks to the management of the Alianza Francesa de Arequipa.

EXHIBITION "LANDSCAPES OF LIGHT" BY JOANIE LEMERCIER

The Alianza Francesa de Arequipa and the Fundación Telefónica Movistar present Joanie Lemercier: "Landscapes of Light," an individual exhibition by the French artist that will immerse the viewer in a journey through different landscapes. The exhibition will transport us from the contemplation of refined abstract lines to the fascination provoked by computer-generated majestic mountains, to the unsettling reality of an overexploited nature. A pioneer in the artistic use of videomapping and co-founder of the AntiVJ collective in 2008, Lemercier (Rennes, 1982) established his own studio in 2009, first in New York and, since 2015, based in Brussels. He focuses on creating pieces that use projected light to generate experiences that alter visual perception. Through computer programming and device manipulation, he transforms projectors into a source of light capable of changing the appearance of things and making us question the conception of reality. 

Date:  From November 9
Time: 09:00 to 20:00
Location: Galería Luis Bouroncle Barreda de la Alianza Francesa de Arequipa, Santa Catalina 208
Free admission

Visitors can choose from nine textile notebooks from the "Patria" series, intertwining the intimate and the political, the national historical and the familial, the public and the private, to create new languages, new ways of expressing, facing, and questioning.

Time: 08.30 to 22.00 h
Dates: Del 9 al 12 noviembre
