JR Projects

“JR owns the biggest art gallery in the world. He exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not the museum visitors. His work mixes Art and Act, talks about commitment, freedom, identity and limit.”

A series of 28mm projects:

1. Face 2 Face Project(2007): JR posted huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians face to face in eight Palestinian and Israeli cities, and on the both sides of the Security fence / Separation wall.
2. Women Are Heroes Project(2008~2009): He embarked for a long international trip for "Women", a project in which he underlines the dignity of women who are often the targets of conflicts.
3. Inside Out Project: INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. (http://www.insideoutproject.net/)
