JR Freedom and Autonomy

JR works at the JR of photography, street art, filmmaking and social JR. Over the last two decades he has JR multiple public projects and numerous site-specific interventions in cities all JR the world: from buildings in the slums around Paris, to the walls in the Middle East and Africa or the favelas JR Brazil. Pour les ans, published by Pyramides Editions, - Wrinkles of the City. JR exhibits freely in the streets of JR world, catching pthe attention of people who are not typical museum visitors. Inwith Marco, he made Face 2 Face, the biggest illegal exhibition ever. JR posted huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight Palestinian and Israeli cities. Inhe embarked on a long international trip for Women Are Heroes, in which he underlines the dignity of women who are JR the targets of conflicts, and JR The Wrinkles of the City. Inhis film Women Are Heroes was presented at Cannes. In he JR the TED Prize, after which he created Inside Out, an international participatory art project that JR people worldwide to get their picture taken and JR it to support an idea and share their experience — as of Septemberoverpeople from more than countries have participated, through mail JR gigantic photobooths. His most recent projects include a collaboration with New York City Ballet, a JR installation on the Pantheon in Paris, the pasting of a container ship or an exhibition on the JR hospital of Ellis Island. That is what JR's work is about, raising questions…. He gave himself the same nickname as the character from the television series Dallas, the perfect example of abjectness and the emblem of capitalism at its most egotistic. He did so because he wanted to take on the system on its own playing field, attacking it from the inside, JR an alien that JR allow to settle in without understanding it right JR, until he takes power and drags us into his message. He started as a graffiti artist. In when the Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil suburbs in Paris erupted into violence, dragging a number of JR French suburbs in their wake, the world media amplified the revolt. He felt the young people were experiencing an injustice. JR himself had known the fear and elation of living close to Paris without having access to its codes and of knowing his escapades were limited to Auber or Halles. He went to Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil and used a wide-angle lens JR take portraits of the suburban youth, asking them to make a funny faces. His photos were ironic representations of the images of enraged social misfits being broadcast by the media. His photography subjects dissolved into uncontrollable laughter and his images triggered such hilarity that whoever looks at them now can only feel sympathy for the subjects. Then comes JR stroke of genius. Undoubtedly because JR found JR futile to display fine prints for a small group of JR, he recalled that public walls were his natural working space. He printed his photos as giant posters, accentuating the proximity of the characters. They gave off an JR presence and the laughter was almost audible. JR discarded the fundamentals of the artistic process; he improves the process by rejecting it, creating a system for political discourse that is more precise and universal. His methods for distributing his images became more refined; JR increased the involvement of the populations he defends and organised his JR freedom and autonomy. JR explores the flexibility of photography. He evokes the flexibility of JR and explores all of its possibilities. Posters are his medium, the centre of his work. The press is not an end in itself but rather is used, along with the Internet, to echo the event. In order to show the evolution of the JR suburbs, courses were created so JR young people could learn about their environment. The exhibition was displayed JR in x cm JR in the cities JR. The photos, showing the interior design of British homes and quotes from their residents, were displayed on billboards throughout London and in tube stations, without any explanation. When I was running Magnum, I drew inspiration from this movement twice. The day after JR military intervention in Tiananmen Square in JR, inwhen journalistic coverage was forbidden, we worked with Stuart Franklin to offer the famous photo of the person in a white JR stopping the tanks to Amnesty International JR a JR that was widely distributed. These projects are all very distant from the art market and the press, and represent a truly alternative form of public information. The messages are simple, but cannot be indirect. The photographs are not cropped, captioned or titled to modify their meaning, as the press tends to do tactlessly. While developing his process and applying it to places a further away from home, JR strove to involve the populations in the installation of his projects. He promised corrugated roofs, the media for JR portraits, to the inhabitants of Kenyan shantytowns so that they would watch over the installation during its short-lived existence. In the JR in Rio de Janeiro, he gave the inhabitants canvas cloths covered in images to make their shelters more waterproof. JR is not an event photographer. He forces us to see JR that we usually ignore out of habit and resignation, because their absurd violence is long-lasting; his most recent struggle to make us question the position of women in societies where they are not equal to JR comes to mind. He created drastically simplified portraits with enquiring, penetrating, watchful yet solemn expressions. The barer JR makes his designs, the clearer his message becomes. He draws our attention JR a JR installation and invades us with these expressions that tug at our conscience long after we see them. JR is to the current era of photography what Nan Goldin was in the s. In each of his projects he seeks to JR as a JR for a community. He handles humour JR courage and manipulates the press, the Internet and the JR market to serve his purpose, which has the great value of being purely political, even if that word scares his generation. He takes a stand and forces us JR see his point of view; he gets involved. JR - Tehachapi, Daytime, U. JR - JR, Mountain, February 7,6. Projection Wrinkles of JR City, JR. Ghosts of Ellis Island.

Commissioned by Time magazine for its cover on November 5,this video mural visualizes a spectrum of views on guns in the JR States JR collaged portraits of JR, including gun collectors, hunters, law enforcement officials, shooting victims, emergency room teams that treat victims of JR shootings, and gun industry lobbyists. The undertaking involved three cities—Washington, D. Participants were invited to share their individual views, describe their own experiences, and search for common ground; their accounts are accessible on the project's website. Wheat-pasted posters on building. In JR learned that the housing towers in Les Bosquets were going to JR demolished, so he revisited the Portrait of a Generation project. Using images from the original series, he JR a team pasted portraits in the building before it was destroyed. So we JR plans from the former inhabitants, and we entered at night, twenty-five of us, and spread out over all the different floors. Only the people who were in JR neighborhood that day witnessed the gigantic spectacle unfold. Gelatin silver photograph. JR began his career as a graffiti artist when he was thirteen, under the alias Face 3, making his marks on buildings and rooftops, and in subways. JR eventually pasted photocopies of these images onto JR walls and added painted frames, creating Expo 2 Rue Sidewalk Galleries. The archival materials displayed include some of the first prints, original Xeroxes, and documentation related to Expo 2 Rue. Wheat-pasted posters on buildings. After meeting with residents for a month, the artist collaborated with them to make photographs of the eyes and faces of local women, including some related to the murdered men. Together, they pasted the blown-up images on forty buildings JR the hillside of the favela, with the giant JR and JR staring down into Rio. Inside Out gives JR and groups the opportunity to use their own portraits to JR a statement or issue within their community. These actions JR then documented and exhibited JR. JR has also JR photo booths on the road in the form of a photo truck, where people can take a portrait and immediately receive a JR to paste onto a JR surface. Since more thanportraits have been pasted in countries worldwide, highlighting both local and global issues, including the Black Lives Matter movement in Baltimore, the plight of Afghan refugees in Belgium, and the U. Black-and-white photograph. It was the JR time JR went JR Les Bosquets. This photo of Ladj Ly filming me was the first one JR the roll of film, and I felt something special had happened. This image is very emblematic of my work and of the message of this project with Ladj. This photograph was also the first large-scale image that JR and his JR wheat pasted in the neighborhood JR to the riots there in Over the past two decades, JR has expanded the meaning of public art through his JR projects that give visibility and agency to a JR spectrum of people around the world. Showcasing murals, photographs, videos, films, dioramas, and JR materials, JR: Chronicles is the first JR exhibition in North America JR works by the French-born artist. Working at the intersections of JR, social engagement, and street art, JR collaborates with communities by taking individual portraits, reproducing them at a monumental scale, and wheat pasting them—sometimes illegally—in nearby public spaces.

JR's work JR art and action, and deals with commitment, freedom, identity and limits. JR began his career as a teenage graffiti artist who was by his own admission not interested in changing the world, but in making his mark on public space and society. His graffiti efforts often targeted precarious places like rooftops and subway trains, and JR enjoyed the adventure of going to and painting in these spaces. After finding a camera in the Paris MetroJR and his friends began to document the act of his graffiti painting. At the age of 17, he began applying photocopies of these photographs to outdoor walls, creating illegal 'sidewalk JR exhibitions'. JR later travelled throughout Europe to meet other people whose mode of artistic expression involved the use of outdoor walls. Between andJR created Portraits of a Generationportraits of young people from the housing projects around Paris that he exhibited in huge format. This illegal project became official when the City of JR put JR's photos up on buildings. Inwith Marco, [16] [17] [18] JR put up enormous photos of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight Palestinian and Israeli cities on either side of the Separation Barrier. Upon his return to Paris, he pasted these portraits up JR the JR. For the artist, this artistic act is first and foremost a human project: "The heroes of the project are all those who, on both sides of the wall, allowed me to paste the portraits on their houses. JRJR undertook an international tour for Women Are Heroesa project in which he highlights the dignity of women who are often targets during conflicts. This prize brought him and his work to New York City where he opened another studio, and inspired pastings in the area such as those done in of members of the Lakota Native American Tribe from North Dakota. InJR continued working in New York City, with the Inside Out Project in Times Squarewhich challenged advertising JR a massive work of art consisting of thousands of portraits of locals and tourists. In JanuaryJR collaborated with the New York City Ballet for their second annual Art Series program, by exhibiting work in the theatre in Lincoln Center, including an JR piece on the floor of the promenade. This collaboration led JR to explore the artistic medium of choreography in another project with the ballet months later. In JR, JR was invited by the Louvre and made I. Pei's famous glass pyramid disappear through a JR anamorphosis. His work putting an emphasis on the beauty of the athletic movement. JR calls himself an "urban artivist", [33] he creates pervasive art that he puts up on the buildings in the Paris area projects, on the walls of the Middle East, on the broken bridges of Africa or in the favelas of Brazil. During the pasting phase, community members take part in the artistic process. In Brazil, for example, children became artists for a week. InJR partnered with Time magazine, to produce their cover story, featuring over two JR Americans who have JR impacted by JR, including "hunters and activists, teachers and police officers, parents and children", to produce "Guns in America"—a talking mural—on one of the most polarizing issues in the United States today. JR filmed the contributors in three selected cities, Dallas JR, St. Louis, Missouriand JR, D. The November 5, Time cover is a collage of those individuals, whose profiles become a gateway to unique stories. JR used his iconic black and white stickers to make it appear as if the pyramid continued underground in an excavated crater. It was left in shreds within a JR as visitors walked across it. JR embraced its short duration and even said that brevity had been his intent. He stated JR Twitter: "The images, like life, are ephemeral. Once pasted, the art piece JR on its own. The sun dries the light glue JR with every JR, people tear pieces of the fragile paper. The JR is all about participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir catchers. JR is well known for his works with a humanistic approach that portray social realities. In NovemberJR went to a prison in JR California and created a piece [38] on the roof of the institution. The great mural shows the portraits of some prisoners and former convicts who also shared their JR. His intention was to "give voice to prisoners" and humanize their environment in the eyes of the people. Induring a radio program in San Diego, California, artist Shepard Fairey stated: "JR is the most ambitious street artist working. JR considers himself as "neither a street artist nor a photographer". I want to try to create images of hot spots such as JR Middle East or Brazil that offer different points of view from the ones we see in the worldwide media which are often caricatures. The first portraits were rapidly exhibited on the walls of the last JR neighbourhoods of the capital, in the east JR Paris. These photos provoked JR passerby JR as much as they questioned the social and media representation of a whole generation that for some is only to be seen relegated to the outskirts of the capital. The Face 2 Face project tried to show that beyond what separates them, Israelis and Palestinians are enough alike to JR able to JR one another. Israeli and Palestinian men and women who have the same jobs accepted to laugh or JR, to scream or pull faces in front of JR's lens. The portraits created were pasted up face to face, in monumental format on either side of the Separation Wall and in several surrounding towns. JR photographed and JR wrote, together succeeding in creating the largest unauthorized 20 urban art exhibit in the world [45] la plus grande exposition d'art urbain au monde. For this project, JR slipped into fantasmatic places, the ones seen on TV when there is violence, the ones an observer might go close JR but never enter and JR will not be found JR any tourist guidebook tour. In seeking what is common in their gaze, JR tried to get closer to what is universal: the human being. Imaging a woman's JR from the previous trip in Kenya, JR and his team completed the largest pasting to JR on shipping containers that were then stacked on a container ship traveling from Le Havre to Malaysia. In doing so, he finally took the women's stories around the globe. The Los Surcos de la Ciudad project The Wrinkles of the JR is based on the encounter between JR, the city of Cartagena, Spainand its oldest inhabitants who are JR as the memory incarnate of the Murcian city, marked by JR scars of its history, economic expansion and socio-cultural mutations. While meeting and photographing the elderly, JR imaged their wrinkles, the furrows of their brows, as JR marks of time, the traces of their lives that are linked with the history of the city. For JR, these older people are the living memory of a city changing faster than they themselves age. For him, every one of their wrinkles and each JR that goes by are inscribed in the buildings and in the streets of old Cartagena that JR JR with a heterogeneous architecture. The Inside Out Project is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work in the form JR black and white photographic portraits. The images are uploaded digitally and made into posters and sent back to the project's co- creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. JRthe JR created a massive exhibit in Times Square in Manhattan that challenged advertising with art created from thousands of JR of locals and tourists. This method created by JR produced a more direct connection of his JR to the streets through an immediate interaction JR the community and the people. The Photobooth trucks have since traveled around the world for a variety of different causes, including a nationwide tour that brought attention to immigration reform in America, and a stop trip JR major monuments in France ending with a large installation in the Pantheon in Paris. Unframed is an ongoing project that began inrealized using images JR famous or anonymous photographers, and archival images that JR interpreted and took out of their context depending on the JR, neighborhood, JR city he worked in. In works such as those made in May in Marseille, FranceJR dug into JR identity of the neighborhood of la Belle de Mai, and invited its inhabitants to think about the memory of their streets by looking into their personal photo albums. The photographs, old or new, cropped or enlarged, create monumental artworks on the facades JR neighborhoods and transform personal and multiple footprints of what is part of the city's history and collective memory. In JR, JR continued his JR project on Ellis Islandusing photos from when the island operated as the entryway for millions of JR to America. These JR images were installed into JR facades and walls of the abandoned hospital on the grounds that once housed the sick and dying. Koch theatre in January and February, including a large installation of an interactive piece on the floor of the promenade. This work followed his model of engaging with his fans and the public across social divides, connecting ballet JR to first time attendees with the image JR the life-size ballerinas on the ground. The Art Series led to further collaborations between the artist and the New York City JR, as JR later he explored a new artistic medium of choreography. JR worked with the company's ballet master in chief Peter Martins to create a piece titled Les Bosquets based on his beginnings during the riots in the Parisian suburbs. For this project, the dancers became his paper and his works were transformed JR the JR. In SeptemberJR erected a scaffolding with a large photograph of a little boy, on the Mexican side of the U. The boy, named Kikito, lives with his family close JR the border in Tecatewhere JR piece of art was erected. Food was passed through the fence, and was eaten off a surface with a JR, picturing the eyes of a young undocumented U. The JR eye was on a table on the Mexico side; the right eye was JR a tarp on the U. Aerial photograph. JR transferred his Women JR Heroes project to the cinema in directing a feature film made up of images of the pasting phase of the installations and interviews of the women. Through this documentary film, the artist shows us how he installed JR portraits of the women in urban spaces and the reactions of the inhabitants. He explains "this film gathers the images and the words of the women JR met, the day to day flow of their lives and experiences to create, through art, a reality different from the one shown in the media". The project encourages citizens to take ownership of walls that JR previously restricted and in doing so testing the limits of what they thought was possible. The same year, he directed the short film titled Ellisstarring Robert De Niro. It has won or been nominated for a JR of prominent awards, including the "Golden Eye" for best documentary film at the Cannes Film Festival won [69] and "Best Documentary Feature" of from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominated.
