Description: "Artist/activist JR exhibits freely in the streets of the world, catching the attention of people who are not typical museum visitors. Known for plastering cities with huge black-and-white wheatpastes of the people who live in those cities, JR came up with the idea for Inside Out after winning the one-million-dollar TED Prize. To accomplish this, JR has visited cities on nearly every continent. Since the project's inception, approximately two hundred thousand people have already contributed their portraits. From the suburbs of Paris to Israel/Palestine, from the villages of Kenya to the favelas of Brazil, his art is inextricably linked with activism. Inside Out captures the scope of his vision and his innovative model for creating a global art. Packed with hundreds of images from this project, with contributions about JR and how JR's art functions as a world-wide platform for social change, where people either participate in an existing campaign, or launch a new action in their own community. JR Inside Out is a never-before-seen look at the work that is nearest and dearest to his heart, and is sure to appeal not only to JR fans but fans of public art and street art"--
