ARTE: JR - Inside Out

Street artist JR's "Inside Out: A People's Art Project" comes on HBO Monday night at 9pm

INSIDE OUT: a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. A collaboration between the artist JR, the TED Prize and you!

Description

Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project’s co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as a group with 5 or more portraits; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.

Upload a portrait. Receive a poster. Paste it for the world to see!

If you would like to participate or have any questions, email us at jr@insideoutproject.net.
