JR posterises London
Saturday, June 21, 2008
JR is an artivist who is reinventing the possibilities of street art and of exhibition at the same time, by sticking up his gigantic black and white pictures on walls.
His 28 millimeter project his at its 3rd stage, starting in Paris and the Israelo-Palestinian border, he has now taken is camera to post-conflictual areas of Africa.
I am really interested in cultural clashes, and JR's work, explores this idea in a huge way, exposing the viewer and at the same time giving him the space to rid of his preconceptions and stereotypes.
He is exhibiting is work all over London, here is a video showing the installation at the Tate Modern.
This guy is claiming new territories, watch your space.
