A Venir: Carte Blanche a JR
In a rare opportunity, the photography museum Maison Européenne de la Photographie has given artist JR carte blanche of the entire museum. Still under wraps till the last minute, we have no clue to what he will present, but given his past work, it will be something exciting and challenging. JR’s large scale photo portraits have all over the world from the Ile Saint Louis and suburbs in Paris, to the favelas in Brazil, to broken bridges in Africa, to the walls in the Middle East. We look forward to this very special event. November 7, 2018 to February 10, 2019
