THE BALLERINA IN CONTAINERS: A NEW LITHOGRAPH ON SOCIAL-ANIMALS.NET

2014 Dec 17 - 06:23

Check out JR's new lithograph, "The Ballerina in Containers, Le Havre, France, 2014".

This image was taken from a series of photographs done in Le Havre, France with a ballerina from the Paris Opera Ballet. JR brought dancers there this summer during the continuation of his Women Are Heroes project when he pasted a woman’s eyes onto a large container ship. The containers created a unique and inspiring atmosphere that JR enjoyed exploring.

The lithograph can be found on Social-animals.net - the exclusive website to get JR's lithographs and books ! Check out the new version of the website here.

Last night in Berlin at Brandenburg Gate Thanks for the photo @an__sch
Walls, walls, walls... New installation of a GIANT in Berlin on the Brandenburg Gate for the German National Day celebrating the reunification of the country, October 3, 1990. I combined an archival image made by Iris Hesse on November 10, 1989, during the fall of the Berlin Wall on this place symbolizing the division then the reunification of Germany. I develop my work around walls. The walls that separate, (Face2Face and Kikito projects); the walls that disappear or are destroyed at a loss for the memory of a place or people (Wrinkles of the City, Destruction serie in Les Bosquets); the walls that we try to build again, in concrete or in our minds. The power of archival images comes back to life depending on the context in which they are exhibited, and the size at which they are displayed (UNFRAMED project). The Brandenburg Gate was part of a wall that represented the division of Europe following the failure of a mass murder ideology. It separated women and men who lived in two opposite systems of thought.The opening of this Gate has kindled a wind of freedom that has engulfed millions of Europeans Iris Hesse / Ullstein Bild / Roger-Viollet Thanks : BEYOND BORDERS! @queenbucarest @pxpembassy #beyondborders #kulturprojekteberlin @emile @melvyn_bonnaffe @camille @kulturprojekteberlin
I took that picture in 2007, during my Face2Face project. In 2011, when I was awarded the TED Prize, Marsha and Robin Williams bought this work in 2011, so I could start the @insideoutproject. This piece allowed the launch of the largest global participatory art project. It will be up for auction in the Creating a Stage: The Collection of Marsha & Robin Williams sale on October 4th at @Sothebys. The proceeds from the auction of this piece will be donated to Human Rights Watch, Christopher. You can view the work in person at @Sothebys public exhibition in their NYC galleries now through October 3. I like the fact that this essential artwork of mine, from my Face2Face project, talking about the wall with humour was bought by kind people for a good cause and will be sold again for another good cause.
During our #IOPVote Tour, we stopped in Austin, Texas. Here, we stumbled upon @casamarianella, a shelter for immigrants, the majority of whom have spent weeks or months in detention centers, seeking asylum in the USA. Over 130 people live in Casa Marianellas 9 houses, coming from very different cultures and backgrounds. We made a visit to Posada Esperanza, the Women and Children houses, took their portraits, left a front yard installation and spent a few hours playing with some new toys. For more information on Casa Marianella, or to see how you can offer a helping hand, visit their website: casamarianella.org #iopvote @insideoutproject @spencershea
