French artist/photog JR has been getting some notable recognition lately. I searched and could not find a thread dedicated to his work.

Cool work, I take it these are paste-ups and not stencils?

Wow! Amazing! Thank you so much for posting this. I hope the exhibition comes to the US. This project deserves more attention.

The Music is "Dr. Flake", song "Amelie".

EXACTLY! I wish they had a high res picture of the print. I'd buy in two seconds if it looked good.

I have seen the tate print in person and own his untitled eyes print. they are nice, basically just photographs on archival paper

Thanks I was just worried the quality would be subpar(dunno why?)...looks like I'm gonna be buying Favela soon.

i have bridge of paris (edition 85) and i have to admit it is pretty qualitative.

JR is currently preparing an "exhibition" in shangai for the month of october. he will paste the whole mural of the contemporary art museum!

his movie is out on the 12 of january 2011.

he is getting very big i beleive.

keep an eye on him!

women are heroes!
this has blown me away.
I first saw a picture of his work in Trespass-History of uncommisioned urban art. It was the one picture that stood out for me initially.
does anyone know about this?
Just in case you have not heard there is a film being released next week.
Facebook has all the best links together:

AMAZING! I was looking at OBEY yesterday there is a post re Complex listing Shep as #10 artist of the year; however, #1 is JR!!! You are onto something, thanks for bringing up! I do need to see the film I knew nothing of this. It looks very well shot!

He is simply amazing ... even breathtaking!

wiredbeans · Post by **wiredbeans** » Tue Jan 04, 2011 10:58 pm

sas- the complex contest is what tipped me off. I have to admit I have only looked at the pics in the trespass book, lame but true, then I saw the complex list and had to do a bit of looking. I had thought it had happened way in the past. woostercollective did a post in 08 and their first video is the best I've seen so far about the project
http://www.woostercollective.com/2008/0 ... eroes.html
glad you guys also thought this was amazing. let me know what you discover.

He is very talented. His Installation at MSCAD last year was inspiring.

I am pretty sure I have a french graffiti magazine with C215 and JR and JR's piece is both on the side of a mountain and also on a train car and when the train goes by it makes a face.... When I wake up i'll find it and take a pic....

JR always was & always will be one of my favorite artists. beside his art & most influantial projects he was the reason for meeting my "woman" hero. i will always be thankful for him & his crew!
trying to pull a colab release between him & shep for this year so stay tuned...

dan, you talking about the one on the upper right, right?
these are my jr prints while i was arranging the hanging layout:

drop me a PM if anyones looking for prints, maybe i can help out...

slidingaround · Post by **slidingaround** » Wed Jan 05, 2011 4:45 am

I love JR, always wanted the Favela print.
Ideabola, that JR shep colab sounds very interesting.

Some might be also interested in picking up this Arkitip with JR. To avoid confusion the consensus seems to be every magazine comes with the same two photographs.
