Join us for a virtual tour of JR: Chronicles, the first major exhibition in North America of works by the French-born artist JR. Working at the intersections of photography, social engagement, and street art, JR often collaborates with communities by making portraits and wheat pasting them in nearby public spaces. See how JR has expanded the meaning of public art through his ambitious projects that give visibility and agency to a broad spectrum of people around the world.

Created by Sharon Matt Atkins, Director of Exhibitions and Strategic Initiatives, and Drew Sawyer, Phillip Leonian and Edith Rosenbaum Leonian Curator, Photography, Brooklyn Museum.

Born in Paris in 1983 to Eastern European and Tunisian immigrant parents, JR began his career as a graffiti artist under the alias Face 3.

After finding a camera in the Paris Métro in 2000, he started to document his posse of friends in the act of graffitiing and eventually pasted photocopies of these images onto exterior walls and added painted frames, creating Expo 2 Rue (Sidewalk Galleries).

Since the pasted images almost always get washed and worn away, documentation of these installations, including the voices of the participants through video and audio recordings, is central to JR’s practice.

In 2004 JR initiated his first major public project, Portrait of a Generation, which featured photographs of young people from housing complex in the Parisian suburbs of Montfermeil and Clichy-sous-Bois.

JR and his friend Ladj Ly, a filmmaker and resident of Les Bosquets, worked with these communities to produce black and white portraits.

JR used a camera with a wide-angle lens, which not only distorts their faces but also conveys extreme proximity and intimacy, as opposed to photojournalists who use telephoto lenses from a distance.

JR and his collaborators then pasted the enlarged images in the surrounding neighborhood of Montfermeil and, eventually, throughout central Paris. Each pasting included the name, age, and address of the sitter.

This photograph of Ladj Ly and friends was the first large-scale image that JR and his friends wheat pasted in the neighborhood prior to the riots there in 2005. It appeared as the backdrop in photographs accompanying newspaper articles and television footage about the uprising, thereby becoming JR’s first published work.

In 2013 JR learned that the housing towers in Les Bosquets were going to be demolished, so he and a group revisited the Portrait of a Generation project by pasting portraits in the interior. As the buildings were being torn down, the monumental images of residents were slowly revealed.

In 2005 JR traveled to Israel and Palestinian territories, where he and his friend Marco were inspired to carry out a public project similar to Portrait of a Generation.

The following year, during a period of fierce tension and fighting in the Gaza Strip, they began meeting with and making portraits of Palestinians and Israelis who held the same jobs.

Ayman Abu Alzulof, a Palestinian actor from the town of Beit Sahour, said he agreed to be photographed because the images would be seen on both sides of the border. "It shows that both parties look like each other, as human beings,” he explained. “It's difficult to differentiate between a Palestinian face and an Israeli face. It will also show that we live here. I think a lot of people will talk about it.”

In 2008 JR initiated Women Are Heroes after learning about the deaths of three young men in the favela of Morro da Providência in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the subsequent riots ignited by the involvement of the Brazilian military.

The exhibition includes this multi-media diorama that narrates the stories of the participants and project.

After meeting with residents for a month, the artist collaborated with them to make photographs of the eyes and faces of local women, including some related to the murdered men. Together, they pasted the blown-up images on staircases and buildings around the favela.

JR continues to work with the communities with which he partners. In 2009, he established the Casa Amarela (Yellow House) in Morro da Providência in 2009.

The moon on top of the house is actually a room, where artists from all over the world can stay in exchange for conducting workshops for the children and adults of the favela. They just celebrated their 10th anniversary!

The exhibition includes a model of Casa Amarela, created by Brazilian artist Raphael Truffi Bortholuzzi

Between 2008 and 2010, JR also completed Women Are Heroes installations in Cambodia, India, Kenya, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Here is an installation that shows portraits of some of the participants alongside an aerial shot of the images printed on vinyl and installed on rooftops in Kibera, Kenya in 2009.

The images both transformed the landscape and provided protection from the rain.

In 2008 JR began his project The Wrinkles of the City in Cartagena, Spain. As he had done for Women Are Heroes, JR collaborated with the community to create large-scale portraits. This time he photographed the oldest inhabitants of the city.

This gallery also demonstrates more of JR’s process, including the rolls of paper shown here and mockups.

In 2011 JR won the TED Prize, a $100,000 award given to “leaders with creative, bold wishes to spark global change.” The prize enabled JR to launch Inside Out, a global public art project. He began encouraging others to use his process and providing the means to do so, expanding his collaborative practice to a fully participatory art project.

This installation highlights many of the Inside Out projects (@insideoutproject) through more than 50 videos created by the organizers and participants of actions around the world.

Since 2011 more than 400,000 portraits have been pasted in 141 countries worldwide, including visitors to the Museum’s First Saturday programming last August!

In September 2017 JR installed a monumental photograph of Kikito, a one-year-old boy from Tecate, Mexico, in a location near the child’s home along the U.S.-Mexico border. The giant toddler, seeming to peer over the fence, prompted the viewer to wonder, What does a child think about a fence he sees every day?

Kikito, 2017

Although the nearly 70’ tall image stood in Mexico, it could best be viewed from the United States. Kikito’s mother remarked: “I hope this will help people see us differently than what they hear in the media. . . . I hope in that image they won’t only see my kid. They will see us all.”

On October 8, 2017, for the last day of the Kikito installation at the U.S.-Mexico border, JR organized a gigantic picnic on both sides of the wall. Kikito, his family, and dozens of guests came from the United States and Mexico to share a meal.

People at both sides of the border gathered around the eyes of Mayra, a “Dreamer,” eating the same food, sharing the same water, and enjoying the same live music (with half the band’s musicians playing on either side).

In 2016 JR returned once again to Clichy-Montfermeil with the filmmaker Ladj Ly to photograph more than 750 people from the Parisian suburb in order to create a large-scale mural, inspired by the work of the Mexican painter Diego Rivera.

In 2017, the mural was installed at Les Bosquets. Here the work is shown as a large-scale transparency print in a lightbox.

In early 2020, JR started teaching a course titled “Art and Image,” at the École Kourtrajmé, a film school in the neighborhood founded by Ladj Ly.

Commissioned by Time magazine for its cover on November 5, 2018, this video mural visualizes a spectrum of views on guns in the United States through collaged portraits of 245 individuals, including gun collectors, hunters, law enforcement officials, shooting victims, emergency room teams that treat victims of mass shootings, and gun industry lobbyists.

Participants were invited to share their individual views, describe their own experiences, and search for common ground; their accounts are accessible on the project's website.

At the center of the exhibition is JR’s new monumental mural project, The Chronicles of New York City (2019). In the summer of 2018, JR and his team spent a month roaming all five boroughs of New York City, parking their 53-foot-long trailer truck in numerous locations and taking photographs of passersby who wished to participate.

Each of the 1,128 participants was photographed in front of a green screen, and then the images were collaged into a New York City setting featuring architectural landmarks.

The participants chose how they personally wanted to be represented and were asked to share audio recordings of their stories, which are now available on a free mobile app.

In keeping with the public and collaborative nature of JR’s art, the museum partnered with organizations in Brooklyn to install murals throughout the burough.

A monumental version of The Chronicles of New York City is on view in Domino Park (@dominopark) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The project has been conceived in collaboration with LOT-EK, which designed Triangle STACK #2 to help bring JR's mural into the city's open space.

JR’s murals are also on view at Kings Theatre in Flatbush and the Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Thank you for joining us on our tour of JR: Chronicles. Tune in next Sunday for another tour of our galleries!

My Favorite iPhone Apps [2017]

Take a look at your phone right now. There is a good chance that there’s one thing that is taking up more memory on your phone than anything else – apps. Who can blame you? With over two million apps to choose from, and more being added daily, there is an app for virtually every aspect of your life. But as a business owner, are you fully leveraging your apps to help to improve your business strategy?

From photo editing to healthy eating, apps have become a life saver in helping me manage all the parts of my business. Here are the seven apps that I absolutely can’t live without.

#1 Photoshop Fix

Photo shoots are your opportunity for #InstaAmazing shots and to plan ahead for posts that will help build your brand. But as a busy business owner, sometimes you need to capture professional-quality photos on the fly. That’s when I turn to Photoshop Fix. This easy-to-use app provides me with the photoshop tools I need – even when I’m away from my computer.

Whether I’m adding a splash of purple with the paint tool or touching up a portrait, this app provides a myriad of tools to make sure I have the perfect Instagram shot every time. With the inclusion of helpful how-to videos right in the app, even beginners can quickly feel like photography pros.

#2 Spark Post

One glance at my Instagram account and you know I love text overlays. This text style is the perfect way to pump up your Instagram and create more engaging out-of-the-ordinary content. But how do I add it to my Instagram? It’s all thanks to Spark Post. Over the years, I’ve continued to find that Spark Post’s tools and graphics are a must-have for my Instagram content strategy.

The best part is that this handy app takes the guess work out of matching your text graphics to your image. Just upload the image and Spark Post automatically adds a color palate based on your photo – no more branding headaches. I also save a #ShitTon of time since I can adjust the text directly on the image.

If you’re feeling an extra burst of creativity, be sure to try Spark Post’s animation option. As if this app couldn’t be any better, there’s also a graphics tool for Instagram Stories too! If you’re interested in adding text overlays to your Instagram content, you have to try Spark Post.

#3 Planoly

Frequent readers of this blog probably already know that I am a huge fan of Planoly. When I’m traveling around the globe speaking and teaching, Planoly is the tool that my team and I rely on to make sure that we’re continuing to regularly update our various Instagram business accounts.

If you’ve ever struggled to create cohesive Instagram content, look no further. With the option to upload all of your saved images directly into the app, you’re able to get a mockup of exactly how your content feed will look. You can also drag photos to strategize the order of the photos you want to share – perfect for bigger sales and special offer campaigns.

If you feel like you’re always forgetting to schedule Instagram Stories, brace yourself for Planoly’s newest update. In addition to the regular content scheduling, Planoly’s tools now allow you to curate and schedule Instagram Stories! No excuses, Planoly gives you all the tools you need to plan your Instagram strategy from start to finish.

#4 Blue Apron

Running your business at your best requires taking to time to nourish all parts of your life. As a health-conscious foodie, I was always looking for an easy way to plan healthier meals. That’s when I found Blue Apron. This subscription-based delivery service provides delicious meals right to your doorstep. Blue Apron is a picky eater’s dream come true! Feel free to get specific about your dietary preferences; Blue Apron will find a meal that works for you.

Meal planning might not be the first kind of app you consider when strategizing how to improve your business. But I am a big believer in the importance of prioritizing self-care. Taking an opportunity to recharge ensures that you will bring your best self to all aspects of your business. If you are struggling with meal planning or just tired of your go-to recipes, you need to download Blue Apron.

#5 Hype Machine

Let’s get real! Deadlines, leads, and Instagram content strategy can sometimes leave you feeling low on creative energy. Whenever I need an extra boost of motivation, I always tap into Hype Machine. This app is the best place to enjoy your favorite artists, while also discovering tons of new songs that you’re sure to love.

Plus, you can keep the music going by connecting with your friends via Hype Machine. Synch up and share so you can create the perfect work-time playlist. Whatever day you’re having; Hype Machine has a song for it.

#6 Zoom

With the pressures of running a virtual business, my team and I rely heavily on our regular team meetings. But we take these meetings one step further with the of Zoom. This video and web conferencing tool gives us an array of options – from planning to meetings to kicking off webinars. Even when we’re on the go at a conference, we can quickly schedule a meeting directly in the app.

Even better, Zoom offers you an option of recording the call – perfect for replaying important webinars and sales calls! Make sure you can build the collaboration your team needs to succeed with the help of Zoom.

#7 Keynote

It’s inevitable. You’re ready to speak at an important conference or in front of your peers, and then a technology issue strikes. Traveling around the world to speak, I feel much more confident now that I use Keynote. This app makes it easy for me and my team to collaborate on beautiful presentations, all at the same time.

As an added life saver, I can also add in your speaker’s notes right in the app. No matter what technological issues should arise, I have the security of knowing that my presentation can continue to go without a hitch.

Still not sure how these apps can help you on Instagram?

Apps might seem like a dime a dozen, but the right ones can truly lessen a lot of the workload you need to make your business succeed on Instagram. Take time to research and understand which apps will work with your business strategy. Then, make sure you invest the time to understand how you can leverage it for your business.

If you’re still struggling to get your Instagram business account off the ground, be sure to download my free Instagram Strategy Guide.
