a project launched in 2011 by JR that aims to turn the world inside out : "The People's Art Project"
“Can
art change the world? Maybe … we should change the question: Can
art change people's lives? Do you know what it takes to do [a global
art project]? People, energy, glue.” JR
“The
city’s the best gallery I could imagine. I would never have to make
a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my
work was nice enough to show it to people. I would control it
directly with the public in the streets.” JR
“I
don’t use any brand or corporate sponsors. So I have no
responsibility to anyone but myself and the subjects.”JR
