MARTHA COOPER SHOOTS JR
Worth the headline alone, shame it wasn't in Dallas.
From Martha Cooper
JR pulled an all nighter working from midnight until 8:00am installing another of his humongous photo murals. Like the Houston Street wall, the image is from his Native American Standing Rock Nation project in North and South Dakota. The location shares a wall with my Shepard Fairey Defiant Youth colab. It also faces the parking lot on Grand directly opposite Henry Chalfant’s fabled studio where writers used to hang out for hours checking out Henry’s latest subway graffiti photos. Another JR installation is around the corner on Wooster.

JR, ARTOCRASY IN TUNISIA
An update from JR on the first phase of the Global Inside Out project.
Artocracy in Tunisia, the new InsideOut project by JR
Art, People and Freedom
From JR
Six Tunisian photographers travelled the country to take pictures of 100 « normal » tunisians representing the Tunisian diversity: men and women, young and old, from North, South East and West, rich or poor, civil servants, business people, workers, farmers, unemployed, and much more… For a country which has only exposed in the streets the portraits of the ruler, this makes quite a difference.
For the first large street exhibition in a nascent Arab democracy, the posting promised to be surprising and the confrontation with art not always simple. Our first two days were quite hot (insulted in La Goulette the first day, posters taken down in Tunis the second day). So we decided to go to Sidi Bouzid (where it all started), an isolated region, to work with those who did the revolution before coming back to the popular districts of the capital.
There is nothing better to understand the weight of traditions and the willingness to change than to post big portraits in the symbolic places of the popular districts and try to explain the concept to people nearby…
And then, we received a warm welcome in Sfax, Sidi Bouzid, Le Kram where men and women (OK, mostly men) have asked questions, challenged the project, raised objections, posted with us, explained the project to their neighbors…
We come back with hope that Tunisia will become a country open to art as Spain after Franco or Berlin after the wall was taken down.
Artocracy in Tunisia, an project initiated by Slim Zeghal and Marco Berrebi and created with the group of Tunisia photographers including Sophia Baraket, Rania Dourai, Wissal Dargueche, AzizTnani, Hichem Driss and Héla Ammar.

JR'S TED PROJECT. INSIDE-OUT
TED Prize Winner JR & INSIDE OUT from TED Prize on Vimeo.
TED prize winner JR unleashes his "TED Wish" project.
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
INSIDE OUT is a collaboration between the artist JR, the TED Prize and you.
INSIDE OUT is funded by The Sapling Foundation, Social Animals and generous donations from people like you.
