艺术家和活动家在世界的大街上自由地展示，吸引了那些不是典型的博物馆参观者的注意。以在城市里张贴大量黑白的麦糊照片而闻名于此，JR在2011年获得了1万美元的TED大奖，他的“TED愿望”：创建一个大规模的参与性艺术项目，将个人身份信息转化为艺术作品，通过将数字上传的图像制作成海报，在不同的社区展示。为了实现这一目标，JR已经访问了所有大洲的城市。自该项目启动以来，大约有20万人参与了他们的肖像画。从巴黎的郊区到以色列和巴勒斯坦，从肯尼亚的村庄到巴西的贫民窟，他的艺术与激进主义有着千丝万缕的联系:他的艺术主张普世妇女权利，和平与平等，并保持理想主义.

Artist and 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 wheatpaste photographic portraits of the people who live there, JR won a $1 million TED Prize in 2011 with his TED Wish: to create a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work by making digitally uploaded images into posters to display in diverse communities. To accomplish this, JR has visited cities on nearly every continent. Since the project s inception, approximately 200,000 people have contributed their portraits. From the suburbs of Paris to Israel and Palestine, and from the villages of Kenya to the favelas of Brazil, his art is inextricably linked with activism: his art advocates for universal women s rights, peace and equality, and maintaining an idealism about humanity. Inside Out captures the scope of his vision and his innovative model for creating a global art. Packed with hundreds of images from the project, it includes contributions about how JR s art functions as a worldwide platform for social change, where people either participate in an existing campaign or launch a new action in their own community. Inside Out is a never-before-seen look at the work that is nearest and dearest to the artist s heart and is sure to appeal not only to JR fans but also to fans of public art and street art.
