This site-specific installation using hanging window blinds to create a three-dimensional sketch contained within the gallery. Suspended from the ceiling in a range of sizes and configurations, the white blinds create a floating labyrinth of walls, rooms, and spaces within the exhibition space. Entrances invite visitors to experience the revised spatial and physical relationships brought about by this material diagram."Blueprint" offers a deliberately temporary overlay in a permanent architectural space. This act both redesigns the space and proposes a dialogue with it. As visitors move among the installation's partitions and pathways they physically engage in this conversation, finding an architectural interior, a vision of its alternative, and further imaginative possibilities existing together in dynamic exchange.
The installation incorporates video performances, projected directly onto the blinds, which relate both to the space and to the viewer. The projections posit various realities that might be unfolding behind the blinds and point to the relationship between public and private, creating an illusion of intimacy in the public space of the gallery.
