JR was amongst a handful of world-renowned artists that combined art and engaged actions through large-scale outdoor installations, films, photographs and videos, using the streetscape as his canvas and his inspiration, which he claimed as the largest art gallery in the world.
JR created “Pervasive Art” that spread uninvited on the buildings and slums around Paris, on the walls in the Middle East, on the broken bridges in Africa or the favelas in Brazil. He remains anonymous and does not explain his work, allowing the subjects, protagonists, spectators and passers by to raise their own questions.
JR – Retrospective featured some of the key series that have made the artist famous around the world as well as a video lounge where selected video works were presented.
